Medical malpractice claims

When a healthcare provider falls below the standard of care and you are harmed, you deserve answers and fair compensation. We guide you through every stage of your claim with patience and care.

Understanding medical malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional departs from the accepted standards of their profession or discipline and, as a result, a patient suffers injury or complications.

  • Medication errors

    A provider fails to assess a patient properly and prescribes medication that triggers a severe allergic reaction, such as anaphylactic shock or Stevens-Johnson syndrome.

  • Missed diagnosis

    Pain is masked with painkillers without finding its cause, and an appendicitis that should have been diagnosed ruptures, causing serious harm or death.

Do you have a claim?

  1. A duty of care existed

    There was a doctor and patient, or healthcare provider and patient, relationship.

  2. The provider was negligent

    They departed from the standards expected in their profession, and it can be shown how.

  3. The negligence caused your harm

    Had it not been for their actions or omissions, you would not have suffered the injury or outcome you are living with now.

If you can answer yes to all three, speak to us for a thorough assessment.

  4. Claim and resolution

    We pursue your claim through negotiation or in the High Court, and stand beside you if you need to testify.

“I came to her looking for help with my hospital negligence experience. She listened and from day one she knew I had a case. I remember I was so scared to take the stand during my appearance at the high court but Tumi kept me calm and told me to answer all the questions honestly and to the best of my knowledge.”
