You will need to establish a breach of duty by the healthcare professional attending to you or providing you with medical supplies in order to lodge a medical negligence compensation claim. A breach of duty means that the medical professional attending to you acted in a manner that was unprofessional and far below what can be expected from someone with their level of responsibility.

You will also be required to prove that your injuries are the result of the negligent behaviour of the party responsible. This does not include possible and expected risks that are parts of your normal procedure including reasonable mistakes that doctors can sometimes make during intensive medical treatments. You will need to prove that your incident is far beyond any reasonable mistake a competent doctor could be capable of making. A claim specialist can compile this information for you and this is a great way to ensure that you have the most thorough and robust evidence available to support your claim.
