Medical Negligence & Professional Malpractice
Professional malpractice or professional negligence refers to an expert or specialist providing a service that:
- falls beyond their “duty of care”;
- falls below a reasonable standard according to law;
- goes beyond a “mistake” or “error”.
This could include negligent advice provided by a financial advisor, accountant or solicitor. Medical negligence is a type of professional negligence, which arises from treatment provided by a health care provider. Health care providers can include general practitioners, specialists, surgeons, nurses, pharmacists, dentist and chiropractors.
At McIntosh, McPhillamy & Co we process a vast range of medical negligence claims arising from simple dental checks to more serious surgical injuries. Some common examples of medical negligence include:
- misdiagnosis or improper diagnosis;
- delay in treatment and care;
- incorrect prescription or dosage;
- surgical negligence;
- incorrect medical testing;
- child birth and child-related injuries;
- improper administration of anaesthetics;
- improper treatment of serious conditions such as breast cancer
The consequences of medical negligence can be serious and permanent, often involving catastrophic injuries such as brain damage, disfigurement, internal injures and even death. We are committed to provide open, honest and professional advice in a comfortable environment and seek the best possible outcome to ease your pain and suffering.
