I had a surgical procedure performed and was not made aware of the risks involved. The procedure was not a success. What do I need to show in order to receive compensation for medical negligence?

Your doctor has a duty of care to warn you of a material risk involved in your proposed treatment. If your doctor fails to warn you of a material risk than you need to show that if you had been warned of the risk you would not have undertaken the treatment.

At NSW Compensation Lawyers we will look at all the circumstances of your claim for compensation to ensure that you have proven, on the balance of probabilities, that you have suffered loss and damage arising from medical negligence. Our expert compensation lawyers practice in this area everyday and are up-to-date on recent court decisions to give you the best legal advice on your claim.
