Medical negligence in Australia
Although there are many circumstances that may amount to medical negligence, it’s important to remember that every health procedure carries associated risks. Sometimes, even the best intended care and treatment may lead to injury.
So, what is medical malpractice or negligence? Put simply, it occurs when the actions of a health provider (such as a doctor, hospital worker, or dentist) fall below an appropriate standard.
This is not restricted to injuries that occur over the course of medical treatment. Negligence or malpractice can also include:
Failure to properly diagnose
Failure to treat
Failure to perform surgery or provide medical services in a proper or adequate manner
Failure to warn patients of risks prior to a surgery or procedure
