Medical liability

Healthcare providers are expected to treat you as well as possible. Unfortunately, sometimes things can go wrong. Mistakes can happen not only during treatment, but also before or after treatment. However, this does not automatically mean that medical liability applies. Not every adverse outcome means that a health care provider is legally responsible for the injury sustained and the resulting compensation.

When is there a medical error?

From a legal perspective, a medical error occurs when a healthcare provider has acted in a medically negligent manner. This means that the healthcare provider did not act in accordance with professional standards. It must be an error that could have been prevented by exercising due care.

Medical and legal assessment process

In addition to the legal aspect, there is also a medical aspect. As lawyers, we can only interpret medical information to a certain extent. That is why we may call in a medical consultant or expert. They will assess whether a medical error has actually occurred. Based on their advice, we will work with you to determine the next steps.
