All healthcare professionals (doctors, surgeons, technicians, etc.) are required by law to be insured for their entire scope of practice, either through their employer or personal indemnity insurance.

Accordingly, if successful, you’ll likely receive financial compensation from your healthcare professional’s insurance provider – not the healthcare professional directly.

You can file a medical negligence claim against a healthcare provider, including hospitals and individual healthcare professionals.

Time limits for medical negligence claims vary under different state and federal laws. In most cases, you need to take legal action within three years of the injury, so it’s important to act quickly.

While time limit extensions are some times possible, getting help as soon as possible from someone who understands the complexities of medical negligence laws that applies in your state or territory is vital.

It was with some trepidation that I approached Slater and Gordon to represent me in a no win no fee for medical negligence. I could not have been more wrong I was so fortunate to have been allocated Yev Belgrin who took on my case . He was so methodical and thorough in what was a very complex case with multiple defendants. He listened , responded in a timely fashion and explained the process every step of the way . Also supported by a fabulous team .He was also kind , understood the stressors and worked with me to make the process as smooth as he could given my illness at the timeWhen the day came to mediate he was an absolute champion in my corner and I received a settlement that way exceeded my expectationsThank you Yev , I can now get on with my life so comfortably , no money worries and just concentrate on staying well I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any one

Yevgeny and his team Liam and Niousha were extremely professional and caring throughout the process of my medical negligence case. Not only did they look after me, they also took my husband and mother under their wings and guidance with their claim. They took on my distressing case with empathy, understanding and patience. Yevgeny always went above and beyond to ensure I understood every aspect of the case and that I felt comfortable when moving along with the process. It was evident from the beginning that Yevgeny and his team had our best interest at heart and we absolutely trusted them in delivering everything they promised. Their hard work, grit and determination speaks for itself! I cannot thank them enough for playing a major role in changing the outcome of mine and my family's lives! Yevgeny and his team are the ones for anyone looking for a trusted law team! Forever grateful!

I engaged with Slater and Gordon in late 2015 and our case was finally resolved in late 2019, nearly 4 years to the day! It was a long 4 years but I cannot fault the service I received. Yevgeny and his team (which changed a little over time) were always professional, caring, attentive and prompt. The lines of communication were always open. My calls and emails were always answered efficiently. It didn’t matter how many times I called, Yevgeny was always there to listen, provide updates and give reassurance. There were many staff that we engaged with these include Alix, Liam, Sara and Niousha all of whom were prompt, professional and caring. Medical Negligence is a complex, emotional and lengthy process, I am so grateful to all the staff but especially Yevgeny for guiding and supporting us through the process and for the outcome they achieved.

Yev and Niousha really went above and beyond for my Medical negligence claim. I cannot thank them enough for their level of professionalism. They are truly fantastic at what they do. They both made not only myself but my family feel very comfortable during this difficult matter. Both very open and easy to talk to. Always quick with responses and keeping me updated every step of the way. I am so glad that I had made the right choice with Slater and Gordon.
