Medical Negligence

Generally, we all place a great deal of faith and trust in medical providers, to protect our interests and ensure our health and wellbeing. But sometimes medical providers make mistakes. Sometimes things go wrong. If a medical provider acts in a manner that is substandard, or does not meet the generally-accepted protocol, this may be held as negligent treatment. In turn, the medical provider may have breached the duty of care owed to you as their patient. In such circumstances, you would have a right to seek damages for your pain and suffering and losses resulting from the negligent medical treatment. As expert compensation lawyers, our team are experts at navigating the relevant legal process, to ensure our clients secure the very best outcome.

 

Damages can be claimed for various things including:

  1. Pain and suffering
  2. Past economic loss (including superannuation)
  3. Past treatment expenses
  4. Future economic loss (including superannuation)
  5. Future treatment expenses
  6. Care and assistance (including aids and equipment)

How Evolve Legal Can Assist You

In some circumstances, you may be able to recover a contribution toward your legal costs, in addition to your damages.

In addition to seeking damages for your injury, loss and damage, you may also wish to lodge a formal complaint with the relevant government supervisory body in relation to the medical treatment. The most common agency is Australia Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency.

There are strict time limits that apply to a medical negligence claim, so its important to seek out legal advice as soon as possible. At Evolve Legal, we can provide free advice so that you are fully appraised of your legal entitlements and can make informed decisions around any legal action.

Why Choose Us?

LOW FILE NUMBERS LOW FILE NUMBERS

Some firms try to increase their profits by having their lawyers carry a large number of files. We don’t. We deliberately keep our lawyers on low and manageable file numbers. This means that our lawyers have more time for you. They have more time to spend on your claim and gathering evidence to tell your story. This usually means your claim can be resolved sooner – so you can get on with your life and put the claim process behind you.

WE ARE STORY TELLERS WE ARE STORY TELLERS

Telling stories is at the heart of what we do. We tell YOUR story. A good lawyer knows the law well, but a great lawyer will be able to convey the story behind the facts. Our training, systems and processes are specifically designed to develop your story and communicate it to the other side. We don’t just tell the other side the facts about what happened in a clinical fashion. We get them to know you – how the accident impacted you – your work – your family – your hopes, dreams and aspirations. We help the insurer get a better understanding of why they ought to assist you with a compensation payment. We want the insurer to be engaged with your story and use techniques to encourage that engagement.

WE DO NOT CHARGE AN UPLIFT ON TOP OF OUR FEES WE DO NOT CHARGE AN UPLIFT ON TOP OF OUR FEES

Unlike some other law firms who act for injured people, we do not charge an extra “uplift” on our fees. When speaking to law firms, you should check if they intend to charge an uplift on their fees. We don’t. What we charge is clear at the start of your claim. So you don’t have to worry if the fees are going to jump by up to 25% due to an “uplift”.

WE GET AN EXTERNAL AND INDEPENDENT EXPERT TO ASSESS OUR FEES WE GET AN EXTERNAL AND INDEPENDENT EXPERT TO ASSESS OUR FEES

The fees charged by personal injury firms should be fair. We provide you with extra reassurance that our fees are fair and properly charged in accordance with our cost agreement. We get an external organisation who specialises in assessing legal fees to review our file and determine what fees can be charged. We are also flexible. You can chose not to have our fees assessed by an external cost assessor if you don’t want us to engage them on your behalf.
