Negligent Treatment
In order to succeed in a Penrith Hospital medical negligence compensation claim it is necessary to prove negligence which occurs when a healthcare providers conduct does not attain the standard required by law. The fact that treatment fails when alternative treatment may have succeeded does not necessarily demonstrate negligent behaviour. A doctor's conduct is judged by comparing it with other doctor's behaviour and provided that the treatment offered was logical and was supported by a substantial number of other similarly qualified doctors there will not be a finding of negligence even in circumstances where the treatment failed.
Time Limitation
There are time limits in clinical negligence matters and in regards to Penrith Hospital medical negligence compensation claims it is necessary to ensure that the matter is settled or that legal proceedings are issued in the court before the limitation period has expired. Failure to comply with the relevant statute of limitations may mean that the opportunity to claim compensation is lost.
