VerifiedHello, I’m John Melis, a solicitor in Australia, and I’ll be helping you with your question today.
If you want to, you can sue the hospital for negligence. Is that what you want to do?
You may lodge a claim in court.
The court’s website has a forms section to download the documents to commence the claim against that other party.
There are practice notes on the court’s website. There are various resources also, which you could utilise to aid you in completing the claim form.
Once you have submitted the claim form to the court, you must serve the other party with the documents.
You will receive email communications from the court, and you need to review these communications carefully, as they give you instructions on what to do next.
Does this help with your question today?
