Medical & Healthcare Law
Advising patients and healthcare providers when medical treatment goes wrong.
When medical treatment goes wrong, both patients and doctors need sound advice on where they stand. We act for patients and their families in negligence claims and for doctors, hospitals, and healthcare providers in their defence.
For patients our work covers claims of negligence, wrong diagnosis, delayed treatment, surgical error, hospital acquired infection, wrong or excessive billing, and harm caused by medicines and devices, before the consumer commissions and the civil courts. For doctors and hospitals we defend such claims, act in proceedings before the National Medical Commission and the State Medical Councils, and advise on consent, records, and compliance with the Clinical Establishments Act and related rules. We also act in disputes over medical reimbursement and insurance for treatment.
A negligence case rests on the medical record and on expert opinion, and we build it on both, whether we are asking for compensation or resisting a claim. These matters are carried through the consumer commissions and the civil courts to the High Court of Andhra Pradesh and, by appeal and special leave, to the Supreme Court of India.
