Accidents & Injuries
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAW
If you or a family member has suffered any type of injury or health complication as the result of medical negligence, you may be eligible to recover compensation through a medical malpractice claim.
When you’ve suffered a misdiagnosis or been the victim of medical malpractice, it can have a devastating effect on the lives of you and those closest to you. Loss of income, reduced quality of life and decreased independence and dignity are just some of the unfortunate consequences of medical negligence and can entitle you to sue your doctor or hospital.
At JMD Attorneys, we want to make this emotionally challenging time as manageable as possible and have access to a panel of highly respected and experienced specialist medical practitioners in both general and highly specialised fields of medical practice in order to assist us in this process.
This includes the following:
· Birth asphyxia incidents which can result in children suffering from cerebral palsy or other disorders.
· Mismanaged surgery procedures
· Incorrect diagnosis, treatment, procedures, drugs or retained surgical instruments
· The use of defective instruments or equipment
