The Facts about Jane Williams’ Medical Negligence Case and Settlement Process

Jane Williams, an unemployed individual planning to retrain to work with WHO, participated in a drug trial at [redacted] Hospital. She subsequently suffered multiple symptoms and conditions, including “CASPR2 Syndrome,” encephalitis, and irreparable damage to her pancreas, adrenal gland, pituitary gland, and thyroid gland. Due to these severe health issues, she required extensive ongoing treatment and was unable to return to the workforce. The matter was settled at mediation for $1,020,000.

The Claim Process on Jane Williams' Medical Negligence Case

1

Schedule your initial consultation

At our initial consultation, our Medical Negligence Lawyers can give you more information about the claim process and chat with you about the viability of an insurance or compensation claim. We will also confirm your eligibility for no win no fee terms to pursue your case.

2

Investigation & gathering evidence

Our Medical Negligence Lawyers will investigate and gather evidence while you recover from your injuries. This includes collecting medical treatment records prior to the medical event and subsequent to it. At the same time, we will also collect employment and income records so that complete before and after pictures can be painted.

3

Get Independent Medical expert's opinion

Once we obtain all relevant medical records, including reports from your treating doctors, we’ll then get an independent medical expert opinion as to the extent of your injury and also to clarify whether or not the treatment provided to you met or fell short of the requisite standard of care. From those reports, our Medical Negligence Lawyers will formulate how the medical event has impacted you and your family at work and at home.

4

Lodge your claim

If the investigation results satisfactorily, we will then lodge your insurance claim where possible and if the circumstances allow, a compensation claim for the physical and psychological deficits you have sustained as a result of the accident.

5

Attendance at informal settlement meeting

Our Medical Negligence Lawyers will formulate your damages demand if applicable and appoint an out of court meeting to negotiate the resolution of your claim settlement.

6

Claim settlement or court proceedings

Statistically, more than 97% of compensation claims are settled out of court. In many cases, the claim is resolved successfully during the informal settlement meeting, and you will receive compensation to which you are entitled. If your claim has not been resolved at this stage, our Medical Negligence Lawyers will file proceedings in court to help you get the compensation to which you are entitled according to law.
