Expertise in medical negligence claims recognised in 2023 Doyle's Guide

The expertise of regional NSW based law firm Catherine Henry Lawyers and its principal, Catherine Henry, has again been recognised in the prestigious Doyle’s Guide.

Catherine is listed as a recommended Leading Medical Negligence Compensation Lawyer (Plaintiff) in NSW for 2023. She is one of only three regional NSW based lawyers to make the list of 14 top medical negligence NSW lawyers. The firm is a recommended Leading Medical Negligence Compensation Law Firm (Plaintiff) in NSW for 2023. Catherine and the firm have now made the respective lists for seven years running.

Catherine said people living in regional and rural NSW deserve the best legal advice and representation in medical negligence matters. She said her firm strives to be the leading health law firm in regional NSW.

“We have passionate, caring and expert lawyers in our health and medical law team who listen to and support clients throughout the process,” Catherine said.

“One point of difference and reason for our success is two of our health lawyers have previously worked as nurses. We also employ a practicing Clinical Consultant and Registered Nurse to advise the team.

“Because we understand how the health care system works and how care should be delivered, we are able to ask the right questions and get to the crux of matters more quickly than other firms.”

The firm’s current and recent cases are helping clients with medical negligence claims in areas including cosmetic surgery, weight loss surgery, reproductive health, pregnancy and obstetric care, cancer care, mental health and psychology, emergency medicine, dental care, and failed medical devices.

Common reasons for making a medical negligence claim include misdiagnosis, delays in diagnosing a medical condition or disease, incompetent testing and care, incorrect prescribing or provision of drugs or medicines, and incorrect reporting of medical tests or failure to act on them.

“One of the biggest issues for our medical negligence clients is the failure of doctors, nurses, GPs or other health professionals to outline the risks of medical treatment or care to them,” Catherine added.

“Helping clients make healthcare complaints or take legal action for medical negligence gives them answers to questions. It may also provide compensation for pain and suffering, current and future loss of income, as well as current and future medical expenses and daily living support.”

“It also helps the healthcare system and healthcare practitioners to improve professional standards of care, so the same thing doesn’t happen to someone else. We advocate for better.”

The 2023 Doyle’s Guide listing of leading NSW Medical Negligence Compensation Lawyers (Plaintiff) and NSW Medical Negligence Compensation Law Firms (Plaintiff) details lawyers and law firms practising in medical negligence matters in the NSW legal market who have been identified by the state’s defendant insurance lawyers for their expertise and abilities.
