Medical misdiagnosis

What is medical misdiagnosis?

Australia’s health industry is among the best in the world and includes state of the art facilities, cutting edge equipment and progressive medical science. Our doctors, surgeons, dentists and allied health professionals undertake stringent training for many years prior to commencing practice, followed by continued progression in their chosen medical field. The downside of such large enterprises is the potential for mistakes, particularly when your health is overseen by various professionals, nursing staff and other hospital employees who need to accurately convey information.

A medical misdiagnosis will result in a delay in receiving appropriate medical treatment. In cases where medical conditions require urgent attention, the delay caused by medical misdiagnosis can cause negative long-term results or even death. Medical misdiagnosis happens all too often, and people affected by medical negligence have every right to claim compensation for their loss or suffering. Medical negligence claims can quickly turn into a minefield of obstacles, especially if the claim is disputed by powerful medical industry representatives, and legal recourse using the best medical negligence lawyers is strongly advised.

How do I make a medical misdiagnosis claim?

The first step is to consult with a medical negligence lawyer at Taylor & Scott. Every case is different, requiring expert assistance and careful investigation prior to making a claim, but there are some steps you can take to assist. Your claim rests on proving medical misdiagnosis, so the more information we have to work with the stronger your case will become. Any information related to your medical misdiagnosis, even that which is seemingly trivial, irrelevant or embarrassing, can be helpful and should be noted down. If misdiagnosis results in practice medical outcomes, it’s worth answering some simple questions, including:

  • Did your treating doctor answer your concerns clearly?
  • Were you given promises of expected medical outcomes verbally or in writing?
  • Did you sign any documents related to the procedure?

Your medical misdiagnosis claim can be supported by statements from medical professionals, medical bodies, nursing staff and other allied health professionals, even if they are the ones responsible for the medical negligence that has affected your treatment outcomes.

Compensation for Old Injury

How do compensation lawyers assist a medical misdiagnosis claim?

There are a lot of factors taken into consideration for a medical negligence claim. The impact of negligence can have over-reaching effects on yourself, your family, your work, quality of life and social activities, so assessing the big picture is all part of our strategy in maximising your claim’s potential. Your compensation claim outcomes will be based on the evidence provided, and we are in the business of creating a persuasive compensation claim document with the best chance of winnable outcomes.

Firstly, Taylor & Scott Medical Negligence Lawyers will offer you a free case assessment and the opportunity to discuss any concerns you have regarding your case. If we believe your case is sound we will commence with the appropriate steps. Taylor & Scott have been assisting the people of Sydney and NSW since 1905, with a case-winning reputation that is highly regarded in legal circles. We will communicate on your behalf with the best barristers available and will organise a follow-up meeting with yourself, the barrister, and our legal team. We work with specialists who have unmatched expertise in medical negligence claims.

At what point does the medical negligence case officially start?

When all available evidence is compiled, it will be reviewed by Taylor & Scott Lawyers, the barrister and yourself. The barrister will provide an expert opinion on the compensation case merit, and if everyone is in agreement the case proceedings can commence. We will inform you if our famous ‘no-win no-fee’ guarantee is available for your claim, providing surety that you will not be billed for our services unless we win your medical misdiagnosis case.

Is it necessary to use a Sydney based legal team?

A medical misdiagnosis claim can be carried out independently, or with the help of legal assistance. However, achieving successful claim outcomes can become drawn-out, complex and expensive without legal assistance. Located in the heart of Sydney’s legal and financial district, Taylor & Scott Lawyers are ideally placed to serve the people of Sydney and NSW, in ways that include:

  • A free case assessment and our ‘no-win no-fee’ offer
  • Collating all documents and evidence into a powerful claim presentation
  • Undertaking medical, police and government records searches on your behalf
  • Negotiating with opposing legal teams and individuals
  • Representing you in court if required
  • Keeping you in the loop every step of the way

A medical misdiagnosis can have traumatic or even fatal results and compensation for the victim and their family is justified. Taylor & Scott Lawyers provide the strongest support for a successful claim outcome to assist those affected by medical negligence.

At Taylor & Scott, We Care For You.
