Step two – investigation<br />
Initial investigation includes gathering information about your<br />
claim, requesting medical reports and obtaining the opinion of an<br />
independent medical expert.<br />
If on completion of our investigations we are of the opinion that you<br />
have a viable claim, we will advise you as to the best way of pursuing<br />
your claim further.<br />
Step three – the Court Process<br />
In some cases medical negligence claims can be resolved without court<br />
action. If it is necessary to go to court, <strong>Slater</strong> & <strong>Gordon</strong> has the skill<br />
and experience in litigation to guide you through the complexities of<br />
court proceedings.<br />
In many cases the commencement of legal proceedings will result in<br />
the parties getting together to discuss resolution of the case.<br />
Remember, only a small percentage of cases result in a court hearing.<br />
<strong>Slater</strong> & <strong>Gordon</strong> will prepare your case to ensure you are well<br />
informed of:<br />
• relevant court processes<br />
• duration of legal proceedings<br />
• how to prepare for giving evidence<br />
• what to expect during cross examination<br />
