How we help with compensation and professional-liability disputes

  • Evidence and document review

    Our review covers clinical records and expert material, loss schedule, expenses and income evidence, policy correspondence and prior payments. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

  • Does a poor treatment outcome establish medical negligence?

    Articles 26–27 require attentive care consistent with recognised scientific principles and connect compensation to professional error causing patient harm. A poor result alone does not establish that link. Identify the alleged departure in diagnosis, treatment, follow-up or referral and the additional harm attributed to it. The clinical standard and causation require qualified assessment of the actual records. Separate the clinical allegation, evidence of causation, quantified loss and any professional-liability policy response. Record compensation or assistance already received. A provider's involvement or insurance policy does not by itself establish liability or the recoverable amount.

Appellate Study

Handling a Medical Malpractice Case

This document presents a legal study prepared by the CounselO Legal platform concerning a medical malpractice case during childbirth that caused severe oxygen deprivation in a newborn, resulting in permanent encephalopathy and multiple neurological disabilities. The study focused on reviewing the medical and judicial file, analysing the reports of medical committees and experts, examining the grounds of the first-instance judgment, and assessing the adequacy of the compensation awarded. It also highlighted several legal issues, most notably the redistribution of medical liability, a conflict between the medical committee’s report and the expert report, and the judgment’s failure to address a material medical injury established by the reports. The study concluded that there were legal grounds that could be relied upon at the appellate stage, particularly regarding the soundness of the expert report, the allocation of liability, and the reassessment of compensation in proportion to the full extent of the established harm.
