At the Law Office of Conrad Curry, we approach things a little differently to most firms.
Given that there is a medical injury or condition at the centre of every clinical negligence compensation claim, we believe that it is essential to have clinical expertise in-house. That’s why we have a clinical consultant on hand to review every medical negligence matter and provide expert Clinical Support to assist us with every clinical negligence compensation claim.
This is just one part of our commitment to delivering market-leading services in all areas of medical or personal injury.
As experts in medical negligence and personal injury, our lawyers have developed an extremely good knowledge and understanding of medical conditions and injuries. However, they are lawyers and do not have formal medical training. Our clinical consultant supports our legal team in understanding the often complex issues which underpin a claim and might otherwise not be obvious to the non-clinically trained.
Legal proceedings are stressful. You need the utmost confidence in your legal team. We believe our in-house clinical support gives us the edge in securing the best possible outcomes for our clients in the quickest and most efficient and cost-effective manner for your clinical negligence compensation claims.
When you engage the Law office of Conrad Curry, rest assured that our clinical advisor will support you in the following ways:
- Early discussion with you to obtain basic details and triage the medical problem
- Research the often complex medical problem or complaint
- Advise our legal professionals as to the prospects of the claim from a medical perspective
- Scrutinise the language of clinical and medical records and provide context of the wider hospital or clinic protocols and guidelines
- Provide guidance on clinical governance procedures, access to documents through GIPA and Public Hospital disclosure
- Share knowledge of internal complaint systems and the regulatory environment (such as AHPRA, the HCCC and the relevant health practitioner board)
- Review the chronology of our client’s journey pinpointing the key aspects to focus on for the claim
- Advise as to the appropriate specialist from whom to obtain expert written opinion for the purposes of Court proceedings
