Do you have a claim?
We will meet with you and take a statement from you as to what has occurred
and the general circumstances of your case.
We will then provide you with our initial assessment of the case.
We may then suggest that a thorough investigation be undertaken in relation
to your case, including a review of your medical reports and reports from treating
doctors, and obtaining an independent medical expert's opinion.
We can advise you in relation to the following:

hospital, the company managing the hospital, an area health service, etc.

- The costs involved in mounting your claim - including legal costs, barrister's
fees, and medical expenses - and liability for those costs.

most states and territories there are time limits within which proceedings may

claim or the procedure to be following in making the claim.
