Negligent Treatment
To succeed in a Wollongong Hospital medical negligence compensation claim it is necessary to prove that the healthcare provider was negligent which means that the degree of skill and care did not reach a reasonable standard when compared to other medical practitioners. The fact that treatment fails even if alternative treatment may have been successful does not always prove clinical negligence provided that the treatment was logical and was supported by a substantial body of medical practitioners.
Solicitors Advice
There are time limits on all personal injury litigation. A Wollongong Hospital medical negligence compensation claim must have been settled or legal proceedings should have been issued in a court of law before the expiry of the limitation period failing which the opportunity to claim compensation may have been lost forever. If you are in any doubt whatsoever about limitation you should not delay seeking urgent legal advice.
