If you've suffered due to a medical error or oversight, our team of expert lawyers can help assess your case and guide you through the claims process.

Medical negligence during childbirth can result in serious injury to both mother and child, including brain injuries, nerve damage, or fractures. These cases often require detailed legal and medical expertise, and we’re here to help you navigate the process.
Incorrect prescriptions, wrong dosages, or failure to consider drug interactions can lead to serious health complications. If you've been harmed by a medication error, we can assist you in filing a claim.
Medical professionals are required to inform you of all the potential risks involved in a treatment or procedure. If you were not fully informed and suffered harm as a result, you may have grounds for a medical negligence claim.
The time limit to file a medical negligence claim in South Australia is generally three years from the date the injury or negligence occurred. However, there are exceptions, such as cases involving children or when the injury was discovered later. It's crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the appropriate time frame.
During your free initial consultation, we’ll review the details of your case and advise whether you have grounds for a claim. Mahony’s works on a no win, no fee basis, so there’s no risk in seeking legal advice.
A successful claim requires strong evidence, including medical records, expert opinions, and detailed documentation of the harm caused. Our experienced lawyers will gather all necessary information to build your case.
Once the evidence is collected, we’ll formally lodge your claim with the relevant courts. We handle all aspects of the legal process, so you can focus on your recovery.
In most cases, claims are resolved through negotiation and settlement. However, if a satisfactory settlement isn’t reached, we’ll advocate for your rights in court, ensuring you get the compensation you deserve.
