Medical malpractice

An unwanted medical outcome, a complication or a late diagnosis is not in itself malpractice. A general review asks whether a duty of care existed, whether there was a departure from a reasonable standard, whether damage was caused, and whether there is causation — each case on its own facts.

Who this may be relevant for

This page may be relevant if you are considering a review of treatment, diagnosis, surgery or medical follow-up. It does not diagnose the case and does not estimate compensation.

What is reviewed at a general level

A responsible review rests on records and, when required, a professional opinion. Do not send a medical file through the website form. If there is urgency or a limitation concern, contact the office directly and do not calculate a deadline from the site.

Points worth understanding first

A difficult medical outcome does not prove malpractice. A general review asks about a duty of care, a reasonable standard, damage and causation — usually from records, not from a short website description.

What to have ready for a call

Prepare institution names and general dates only. Do not send discharge summaries, images or other patients’ details through the ordinary channel.
