Negligent Healthcare
Medical negligence is not uncommon and according to the World Health Organisation Australia has one of the worst records of medical negligence in the developed world. In order to succeed in a Gosford Hospital medical negligence compensation claim it is necessary to demonstrate negligence by a healthcare practitioner which includes specialist, consultants, doctors, nurses and technicians. Negligence occurs when care is below an acceptable standard. Treatment that fails is not necessarily negligent provided that it is logical and is supported by a substantial body of medical opinion even where it is possible that alternative treatment may have been more successful.
Limitation Period
If you are thinking of initiating a Gosford Hospital medical negligence compensation claim you should be aware that in common with all personal injury claims there are time limits. If the case is not settled or proceedings are not issued in a court of law within the relevant limitation period then it is likely that the opportunity to claim compensation will be lost forever. If you are in any doubt about limitation you should take urgent legal advice as soon as possible after the alleged negligent behaviour.
