How our medical negligence claim process works

Obligation-free first consultation

During an obligation-free first consultation with Stephen Browne’s medical negligence lawyers, we obtain all relevant information and history to determine whether we can help. We explain the possible avenues for compensation, options and our fee structure.

Assess and build your claim

If we are able to assist, our lawyers will investigate further and gather the necessary documents and evidence to support a claim.

Negotiations and settlement

Once all documents have been obtained, we advocate for our client against the other party to try and get the best possible outcome. In most cases, we can resolve a claim without the need to proceed to court, as most cases can be resolved on an informal out of court basis.

How do I know if I have a medical negligence claim?

It can be difficult to determine whether you have a potential claim. Some common medical negligence cases include:

  • misdiagnoses

  • a delayed diagnosis

  • an error in surgery

  • you weren’t adequately warned about the risks of a procedure or medication.
