Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Our highly experienced medical malpractice attorneys provide advice on all types of health sector disputes including those arising from the treatment of patients.

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical or health care professional through negligent conduct deviates from standards in their profession causing injury to a patient. The negligence might arise from errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare or health management. Medical negligence is present when, one or both, of the below two requirements are not met:

• A patient approaches a doctor expecting that the doctor will provide medical treatment with all the knowledge and skill that the doctor possesses to bring relief to his medical problem; and that the doctor will not do anything to harm the patient in any manner either because of their negligence, carelessness or reckless attitude of their staff.

• Doctors have a duty to obtain prior informed consent from the patient before carrying out diagnostic tests and therapeutic management.

Generally, a medical malpractice claim must be made within 3 (three) years from the date on which the alleged malpractice occurred.
