Medical Negligence - Sueing a Practicioner in QLD?
Has anyone gone down this route at all? Has your case been accepted as a valid case for medical negligence? How did you start the process? Who did you see?

Take care Ne. Be very sure that no win no fee means exactly that. I'm investigating taking action over a critical and potentially fatal mispositioned portacath. I have a very strong case as I was discharged with this thing in my right ventricle.
The solicitors may not charge unless they win the case but you may have to stump up for expert witnesses whether you win or lose and they can cost a fortune. Without them you usually have Buckley's chance.
Sadly hospitals quickly close ranks and will spend more defending a case than they would have to pay for a reasonable settlement.
The devil is in the details and you need to be incredibly careful with the fine print.
