Medical negligence is an instance of substandard treatment given to a patient which directly caused them injury or which made their current condition worse. Medical Negligence or errors may happen by means of misdiagnosis, inappropriate medication, or surgical mistakes.
Medical negligence is characterised as any action taken by medical professionals or members of the hospital/clinic staff that falls below an appropriate standard of care and causes injury or disease, or causes a person’s health to deteriorate as a result.
Essential to any claim for medical negligence is obtaining the opinions of the correct medical experts to support your claim.
