Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is considered medical negligence in NSW?

    Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare professional provides treatment that falls below the accepted standard and causes harm or loss. This could include surgical mistakes, misdiagnosis, delayed treatment or medication errors. Determining negligence involves reviewing medical records and expert reports. Each case is different, so assessing the link between the action and injury is an important part of the process.

  • How do I prove medical negligence?

    To prove medical negligence, you generally need evidence showing that the healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care expected and that this failure caused harm. Independent medical opinions, treatment records and expert statements are often used to support the claim. The process can take time as each matter is reviewed carefully against NSW legislation and medical practice standards.

  • What compensation can I claim for medical negligence?

    Compensation for medical negligence can include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs and support for pain and suffering. The amount depends on the severity of the injury and how it affects your daily life. Claims are assessed individually based on medical evidence and circumstances, with the aim of helping injured people recover financial and personal losses linked to negligent care.

Understanding Medical Negligence Claims

Medical negligence claims can seem complex but they follow a clear process designed to ensure fair review. The first step usually involves gathering evidence including treatment notes, hospital reports and independent medical assessments. These documents help identify whether the standard of treatment provided fell below what a reasonable professional would have delivered. If a link between that treatment and the injury can be shown, compensation may be available to cover related losses.


Compensation can include medical expenses, time away from work and support for ongoing treatment or rehabilitation. In some cases, claims may also account for pain and suffering or the need for future treatment. Our medical negligence lawyers explain how these factors are considered under NSW law so you know what to expect from the process without feeling overwhelmed by legal language.


Every situation is unique and understanding your rights early can help you take the next step with confidence.
