At Trump Lawyers, our expert Medical Negligence Lawyers in Sydney have a distinct understanding of both the legal and medical complexities of medical negligence claims which go a long way in ensuring that the best possible outcome is achieved.
Medical negligence occurs when a medical practitioner such as a doctor, surgeon, nurse, or other healthcare professional fails in their duty of care to their patients, and that failure results in serious injury. Simply put, medical negligence is when treatment falls below the acceptable standard and results in injury.
Medical negligence claims are complex by nature and can be extremely stressful for all involved. If you believe you have a claim for compensation resulting from negligence by a doctor, hospital, or any other healthcare professional/facility, then engaging the right lawyer for your claim can make all the difference.

Common Examples of Medical Negligence
Medical negligence claims can take many different forms. Depending on who caused the injury, medical negligence claims can be brought against hospitals, hospital staff, or directly against a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare professionals.
You may have grounds for a medical negligence claim if you have suffered an injury as a result of:
- Treatment or medical procedure gone wrong,
- Prescribed the wrong medication,
- Incorrect diagnosis or late diagnosis,
- Surgical complications (complications during surgery),
- Post-surgical complications,
- Inappropriate or lack of post-surgical treatment,
- Failure to warn about risks and side effects.

What compensation am I likely to receive?
No lawyer can provide a precise estimate of what a medical negligence claim is worth from the outset, and you should be very critical of any lawyer who pretends they can. Every claim is different and the outcome for every claim will depend on several factors such as the severity of injuries received, the age of the person, whether the person can no longer work, and whether before injury they were earning $100 per week or $10,000 per week.
Your lawyer can advise you of the type of entitlements, or as we lawyers call it, “damages”, that you can claim if you have been injured in a medical negligence claim. The entitlements or damages you can claim for Medical Negligence are:
- Compensation for Medical and Hospital Expenses,
- Compensation for Past Loss of wages,
- Compensation for Future Loss of wages,
- Compensation for Pain and Suffering,
- Compensation for Assistance with Domestic Needs (whether paid or unpaid).
Whether or not you are entitled to one or several damages will depend on the causal link between the injury you have suffered and the effects of that injury on, for example, your ability/inability to work, need for domestic care and assistance, etc. As medical negligence claims are extremely diverse, you should be wary of anyone who promises a specific amount. Damages in the form of compensation are always determined on a case-by-case basis and depending on the circumstances of the person or persons involved.
