Top Medical Malpractice Attorneys In South Africa
Adele van der Walt Attorneys, one of South Africa’s top medical malpractice attorneys, is well positioned to offer advice, assistance and information regarding any type of medical negligence. We are committed to ensuring that your rights, as a patient, are upheld at all times and that the treatment you receive from the medical profession is aligned to the provisions of our Constitution and to the National Health Act No 61 of 2003.
Top medical malpractice attorneys make it their business to keep abreast of all legal issues effecting the medical profession, and how these may affect their clients. Should you have suffered personal injury – be it physical, emotional or financial – at the hands of a medical professional or health care facility, then we can assist you in ascertaining whether or not you have legal recourse for compensation. It is important to note that ‘medical professionals’ does not only refer to medical doctors, but also to nurses, anaesthetists, radiologists, dentists, osteopaths, psychiatrists and psychologists, amongst others. Sometimes, one would not take direct action against any particular professional, but rather the medical institutions involved, such as hospitals, clinics or nursing homes.
Attempting to deal with a case of medical malpractice without professional assistance can turn out to be a lengthy, costly and complicated procedure, so it is strongly advised that you seek the advice of top medical malpractice attorneys who deal in this specialised field and have intimate knowledge of the particular procedures and processes involved. Cases can range from ‘simple’ cases, such as being rudely or unethically treated whilst in consultation, not being fully informed of your condition or being prescribed the incorrect medicines. More complicated cases include those of paediatric injuries after birth, your surgeon leaving foreign objects in your body after an operation or performing the incorrect procedure in the operating room.
