Something Went Wrong.
We’ll Help You Find Out Why.
The legal test for medical negligence
A claim can fail on causation even where the care was clearly poor, which is why an early expert opinion matters more than an early estimate of value.
The Breach Caused Harm
You must show the substandard care caused or worsened your injury - not simply that a mistake was made.
03 ∙ CAUSATION
02∙ BREACH
That Duty Was Breached
Care is judged against whether a responsible body of medical opinion would have supported the treatment given.
01 ∙ DUTY OF CARE
A Duty of Care Existed
Every registered healthcare provider owes their patient a duty to treat them to a reasonable professional standard. This is rarely disputed.
