Medical negligence, hospital negligence, catastrophic injuries and personal injury claims.

Strategic legal representation for complex medico-legal and personal injury matters.

Medical negligence and serious personal injury claims can have life-altering consequences, affecting not only physical health, but also a person’s ability to work, care for their family and maintain their quality of life. These matters are often emotionally and financially overwhelming, particularly where long-term treatment or rehabilitation is required.

Medical negligence claims may arise from surgical errors, delayed diagnosis, birth injuries, hospital negligence, medication errors, failed treatment or inadequate medical care.

Personal injury claims may involve:

– Slip and fall injuries

– Construction and workplace accidents
– Electrocutions
– Assault and violent injury claims
– Gunshot injuries
– Catastrophic injuries and permanent disability
– Wrongful death and loss of support claims

These claims are rarely straightforward. Hospitals, medical practitioners, insurers and large organisations often have immediate access to legal teams, internal investigations and medical experts from the outset.

Early legal intervention can be critical in preserving medical records, securing expert opinions and protecting the strength of a claim.

At Malcolm Lyons and Brivik Inc., we work with specialist surgeons, medical consultants, psychologists, actuaries, occupational therapists and forensic experts to investigate claims thoroughly and assess both current and future damages.

Claims may include compensation for:

– Past and future medical expenses
– Past and future loss of earnings and earning capacity
– Pain, suffering and loss of amenities of life
– Psychological and psychiatric injuries
– Long-term treatment, care and rehabilitation costs
-Claims arising from permanent disability or wrongful death

Medical negligence and serious injury matters are often document-heavy and fiercely contested, requiring strategic litigation experience and detailed technical investigation.
