Frequently Asked Questions

What is medical negligence?

Medical negligence occurs when a doctor, hospital or other healthcare provider fails to provide treatment that meets the standard reasonably expected of a competent medical professional, and that failure causes avoidable injury or harm. Every case is different, which is why obtaining an individual assessment is important.

What are common examples of medical negligence?

Our assessment may help identify claims involving:

  • Delayed diagnosis
  • Missed fractures
  • Cancer misdiagnosis
  • Surgical complications
  • Birth injuries
  • Anaesthetic errors
  • Medication errors
  • Hospital-acquired infections
  • Emergency department negligence
  • Incorrect treatment
  • Failure to monitor patients
  • Delayed referrals
  • Cosmetic procedure negligence
  • Dental negligence
  • GP negligence
How do I know if I have a claim?

Many people simply aren’t sure. Our free Medical Claim Check asks a series of questions about your treatment, what happened and how you’ve been affected to help determine whether your circumstances may warrant further review.

How long does the assessment check take?

Most people complete the assessment in under 60 seconds.

Will I have to speak to a lawyer immediately?

No.

We first assess your information.

If your circumstances appear suitable, we’ll offer to connect you with an experienced medical negligence lawyer for a obligation-free consultation.

What types of medical negligence can I claim for?

Claims may arise from many different situations, including delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, hospital negligence, GP negligence and failures to provide appropriate treatment.

Is there a time limit?

Yes.

Time limits vary depending on your circumstances and the Australian state or territory where the negligence occurred. Because deadlines can be complex, it’s best to have your situation assessed as soon as possible.

What if I'm not sure the doctor did anything wrong?

That’s exactly why Medical Claim Check exists.

Many people know something went wrong but aren’t sure whether it amounts to medical negligence. Our free assessment helps determine whether it’s worth speaking with a experienced lawyer.

Who pays the compensation?

If a claim is successful, compensation is generally paid by the healthcare provider’s professional indemnity insurer or other responsible entity—not by the individual doctor personally in most cases.

Do you guarantee I'll receive compensation?

No.

Completing the Medical Claim Check does not guarantee that you have a claim or that compensation will be awarded. If your circumstances appear suitable, you’ll be connected with a experienced lawyer who can provide legal advice based on your individual situation.
