Medical practitioners in Australia, including doctors, nurses,radiologists, dentists, lab assistants, pharmacists, and paramedical service providers must act according to certain professional or peer standards. If these standards are not met you may be able to claim compensation for any harm caused as a direct or indirect result of their breach of the duty of care.
Medical negligence can include failure to properly diagnose; failure to treat; failure to warn patients of risks; failure to perform surgery; failure to obtain informed consent or provide medical services in a proper or adequate manner.
The duty for professional service providers in this area of law is particularly complex and should be referred to experienced legal practitioners.

Personal injury law covers a very wide range of circumstances and people are often unsure whether they are entitled to personal injury compensation.
AC Lawyers always advises that you contact a law firm in order to determine whether or not you should make a compensation claim. That’s why our first consultation is free. Access to justice is a right for all, not a privilege. Personal injury matters can involve a great deal of complexity, and other less specialised law firms might mistakenly advise you that a matter is not worth pursuing. We believe each case should be judged on its own merits and we make sure to examine all avenues so that you have the best chance of receiving the compensation you deserve.
