Medical Negligence
You need to know that a health professional cannot be held negligent if the individual acted in ways that were considered at the time to be widely accepted in Australia by most of the respected medical providers in the same field, regardless of the outcome and if the provider was considered to be competent. If it can be found that the majority of medical experts find the provider’s actions to be incompetent, It is possible for you to sue for medical negligence.
Compensation
The amount of monetary competence you receive depends on the nature and extent of your medical injuries and long term disabilities. If further treatment is required, if you need home health care or if you need domestic assistance, our Joondalup medical negligence solicitors will factor that into the calculation of your award. You may also receive compensation for loss of income or for being unable to work because of the medical negligence. You will also be awarded money for the pain and suffering that you have experienced.
