Our Services
We specialise in three core areas of medical law: representing patients in negligent medical matters, challenging unfair insurance decisions, and helping parties resolve complex healthcare disputes through mediation.
When medical treatment causes serious harm instead of healing whether through surgical errors, delayed diagnosis, birth injuries, or substandard hospital care, you need lawyers who understand both the medicine and the law.
We represent individuals and families in complex medical negligence cases. This process entails The assessment of three critical elements: negligence, causation, and meaningful damages. If any leg of this three-legged stool is missing, the stool could not stand and this speaks true for a medical negligence case as well. We must prove all three in order to have a successful claim.
Life Insurance & Medical Aid Disputes
We focus on the kind of claims that affect your ability to work, support your family or access life-saving care.
From death, disability, income protection, critical illness and prescribed minimum benefit disputes to major medical aid decisions, we assess whether the insurer or scheme has treated you fairly and advise on the ideal course of action in lodging a dispute.
Sometimes the best resolution isn’t found in a courtroom. Mediation offers a confidential, voluntary process where parties control the outcome, rather than having a decision imposed by a judge.
Romany Sutherland is a qualified mediator with 20 years of litigation experience in medical and insurance law. She is available for appointment as a neutral mediator, and the firm also assists clients in preparing for mediation, whether court-annexed under Rule 41A or voluntary settlement discussions.
