Elements of Negligence

There are a number of elements which must be established in a successful medical negligence claim:

Duty of Care

When a person is treated by healthcare professional, they are generally owed a duty of care. This duty of care includes the requirement for care and treatment to be provided with reasonable skill and care.

Breach of Duty

In circumstances where care and treatment falls below the accepted standard of care, the duty of care owed to the patient is said to have been breached.

Causation & Damage

Where a breach of duty is shown to have caused, or materially contributed to, an adverse outcome such as personal injury or death, then financial compensation may be available to the victim and/or the victim’s family members.

What does compensation include?

If you are successful, damages awarded to you can include compensation for:
  • Pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment/amenity of life
  • Past and future medical treatment, including allied health care, surgery, and medication
  • Past and future domestic assistance & attendant care
  • Loss of income and superannuation
  • Loss of future earning capacity

Are there time limits?

Yes, there are strict time limits within which medical negligence claims must be brought.
Generally, personal injury damages claims must be commenced in court within three (3) years of the accrual of the claim. This is known as the limitation period. The earliest date on which this could be said to commence is when you or your loved one were injured.

It is necessary to instruct a lawyer well before the limitation period is due to expire, to allow time for the necessary expert opinion/s to be obtained and court documents to be prepared. Once court documents are filed, time stops running.
