Malpractice by a healthcare provider occurs when a negligent medical action results in unnecessary injury to a patient. This can lead to a medical negligence claim.

In extreme cases, people may die as a result of medical negligence and when this happens, dependants often want to take legal action against the healthcare provider concerned to recoup damages for loss of support and suffering.

Due to the very nature of a medical negligence claim, the utmost care is taken to establish the true facts of each matter before any formal steps are taken.

This is done to protect the clients’ rights and to avoid spiralling costs and the undue prolonging of an already unpleasant experience.
