If you have suffered an injury or been hurt because of someone else’s mistake or lack of care, you may be able to bring a claim for damages.

These injuries can occur in a variety of ways, including slips, trips, falls and injuries caused by hidden dangers.

MML’s panel can help you to assess the extent of the injury and provide a medico-legal report to assist in your claim proceedings.

If your healthcare professional has mistreated you or you have experienced a serious breach of trust, MML’s expertise can help address whether or not the injury resulted from an accepted risk associated with the procedure or service.

MML can also assist with determining whether there was a failure to diagnose and whether the negligent act gave rise to damage or loss that would not have occurred without that negligent act.

All these assessments are conducted by MML’s experts to identify whether the service was provided in a manner widely accepted in Australia by peer professional opinion as competent professional practice.

If you have suffered an injury at work or if you are injured during the course of work, MML can provide you with the relevant specialist report to support your claim.

In addition, the report will help identify the extent of the injury in relation to a common law claim.
