When trust in medical care is shaken, knowing who to turn to can make all the difference.
Medical negligence occurs when a doctor, another healthcare professional or a medical institution fails to meet the required standard of care, causing harm to a patient. We offer an initial assessment of your case, including cases involving medical treatment across the Italian-German border.
Areas of Expertise
Typical Medical Negligence Cases
Every case requires a careful medical and legal assessment.
Below are six areas in which we frequently receive enquiries, helping you identify the nature of your situation.
Diagnostic or Surgical Errors
Delayed or incorrect diagnoses, improperly performed surgical procedures, complications that were not treated or communicated to the patient (including asymmetries, disabling scars and loss of a chance of recovery).
Dental Negligence
Incorrectly placed implants, unsuitable dental prostheses and inadequate treatment planning (including implant failure, nerve damage and malocclusion).
Treatment Errors and Medication-Related Negligence
Incorrect prescriptions, failure to consider drug interactions, and incomplete or missing informed consent.
Obstetric Negligence and Birth Injuries
Delays in performing a caesarean section, inadequate monitoring during labour and delivery, hypoxia or complications that were not identified in time — cases that may require multidisciplinary expert assessments.
Orthopaedics and Traumatology
Inadequate fracture fixation, errors in fracture reduction and insufficient follow-up care after procedures involving bones or joints.
Other Areas
Preventable healthcare-associated infections, inadequate postoperative monitoring and other clinical issues not listed above.
Unfortunately, the consequences of inadequate medical care do not always affect only the person who suffered the injury. Family members may also experience the consequences of medical negligence. Under certain circumstances, they may be entitled to claim compensation for financial and non-financial losses.
