How to boost your compensation payout
Obtaining expert medical evidence in medical negligence cases is complex as every critical issue, no matter how small, needs to be addressed in order for you to obtain the best possible outcome.
If a medical negligence claim is not properly or poorly prepared, the insurer for the medical professional or healthcare provider is unlikely to settle your claim for what it is worth and what you deserve. Sometimes, the insurer may not be willing to pay you any compensation at all. Thus, thorough preparation of your claim is critical. The amount of compensation you receive is dependant on the strength and weaknesses of your factual evidence and how well your case has been prepared and presented to the insurer for the medical professional or healthcare provider alleged to be at fault of your injury.
