I had an operation that wasn't successful. Am I able to claim compensation for medical negligence from the surgeon?

A claim for compensation due to medical negligence is a claim for compensation for an injury or damage caused by the negligence of a doctor, hospital or other health care professional.

You may be able to make a claim for financial compensation against the surgeon if you can show that they breached their duty of care to take proper care when operating on you. Your claim will need to be supported with evidence from an expert that the treatment you received was below the standard of care expected of a surgeon.

At NSW Compensation Lawyers we are experienced in assessing the prospects of success in medical negligence cases and we have a strong track record of success in a wide variety of situations where medical negligence has occurred.
