Contact us through our enquiry form, phone, or email. We’ll review your situation, answer your questions, and explain what to expect next. There’s no upfront fee to begin your claim.
Your case will be carefully reviewed by our legal team. We assess the strength of your claim, advise on the documentation needed, and guide you through key steps such as attending an independent medical examination and preparing the information required for the Injuries Resolution Board (IRB).
Once you decide to move forward, we take care of everything. This includes gathering evidence, contacting the other party or their insurer, submitting your claim to the IRB, managing settlement discussions, and handling any court proceedings if needed.

It is a medical negligence claim arising when a condition is wrongly diagnosed or diagnosed later than it reasonably should have been, causing avoidable harm.
Claims often involve cancer, infections, heart conditions, neurological disorders, fractures, and other serious illnesses.
No. A claim depends on whether the delay fell below accepted medical standards and caused harm that could have been avoided.
Responsibility may lie with a GP, hospital doctor, consultant, or healthcare provider, depending on the circumstances.
In most cases, you have two years from the date you became aware of the injury and its link to the misdiagnosis or delay.
Many claims are resolved without a full court hearing. If court proceedings are necessary, we support you throughout.
Compensation is based on the extent of harm caused by the misdiagnosis or delay, including physical, emotional, and financial losses.
Yes. If earlier diagnosis would have led to a better outcome, you may still have a valid claim.
