The Firm provides assistance in cases of medical malpractice in connection with compensation claims arising from misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, from treatments and procedures not in conformity with clinical recommendations or therapeutic protocols, from the absence of informed consent, from hospital-acquired infections, and from delays in the provision of healthcare. More generally, the Firm assists in cases involving conduct by healthcare professionals deemed inappropriate or organisational shortcomings on the part of the hospital or private healthcare facility.
The assistance is directed towards establishing liability and protecting the patient's rights, through a thorough analysis of the medical records and, where necessary, the engagement of specialist expert consultants, in compliance with the applicable legislative and judicial framework.
Approach to medical malpractice
Medical liability matters are addressed through a preliminary analysis of the clinical documentation and the manner in which the healthcare service was provided, with the support of subject-matter expert consultants, in order to verify the conformity of the clinical conduct with the applicable protocols and scientific recommendations.
The assistance is oriented towards an accurate reconstruction of the facts and the assessment of the grounds for liability or defence, including with a view to a possible negotiated settlement of the dispute, whilst preserving, where necessary, the protection of the assisted party's rights before the competent courts.
