We all place a great deal of trust in our doctors and medical practitioners. However, from time to time their treatment falls below the standard of care reasonably expected from a professional.

If you have been injured under the care of a medical practitioner you may be entitled to make a medical negligence claim. We can assess the circumstances of your injury or illness and provide advice on your right to make a claim.
