Medical Negligence compensation lawyers

Before reaching out to our medical negligence compensation claim lawyers, ensure that you lodge a report of the inadequate treatment or services to the provider.

As always, your health comes first. When possible, arrange to see an alternate medical provider. You will need to obtain medical evidence to show that your injury is a direct consequence of the incident.

At Gouldson Legal, every client is entitled to a free case review. To receive a free case review for your medical negligence compensation, claim lawyers (Brisbane and Queensland) can be contacted by phone or through the online form. One of our lawyers will contact you to discuss the situation and take you through the claims process, step by step.

Lawyers at Gouldson Legal should be contacted as soon as practicable*. In Queensland, strict time limits apply to all personal injury claims, including professional negligence claims.

Regardless of the circumstances of medical negligence, compensation claim lawyers will advise that pre-court proceedings must begin within 9 months of your injury (numerous dates and time frames will generally apply).

Ultimately, you must commence personal injury proceedings in a Court within 3 years from the date of your injury, or your right to any medical negligence compensation claims may be lost.

We understand that injuries or complications due to medical negligence can severely impact your wellbeing, your family, and your ability to earn an income.

Once your injuries have stabilised, our medical negligence compensation lawyers will calculate your entitlements based on updated information and medical evidence. Depending on your situation, you may be eligible to seek compensation for:

• Past and future treatment and rehabilitation costs.
  This may include physiotherapy, pharmaceutical costs, and psychological support. Our team can help with organising this to ensure you aren’t out-of-pocket during the claims process.

• Past and future loss of income and superannuation.
  If you have been unable to work due to injury or complications, or injury or complications will impact your ability to work in the future, this will be included in your professional negligence claim.

• Impacts on quality of life, including pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment.
  For any medical negligence, compensation lawyers at Gouldson Legal will assess any sustained psychological injuries, mental distress, or physical pain in the claims process.

• Commercial costs.
  Your medical claim compensation lawyers (Brisbane and Queensland offices) will advise further. Claims may include compensation for lawn mowing, cleaning, and maintenance.

• Home modifications or specialised equipment
  If you have paid for these out of pocket, this will be included in your medical negligence compensation claim.
