Medical Malpractice Claims
Harmed by medical negligence in the UAE? Fakher & Co handles surgical errors, misdiagnosis, birth injuries, and medication claims through the Medical Liability Committee and courts.
Seeking Justice for Patients Harmed by Medical Negligence
We place our trust in medical professionals to provide a high standard of care to protect our health and well-being. When that trust is broken, and a patient is harmed due to a doctor’s, hospital’s, or other healthcare provider’s negligence, the consequences can be devastating and life-altering. Pursuing a medical malpractice claim is a complex and challenging process, but it is a crucial step toward seeking justice and compensation for the harm suffered.
Fakher & Co provides compassionate and skilled legal representation for patients and their families in medical malpractice cases. We understand the profound emotional and financial toll that medical negligence can take, and we are dedicated to holding healthcare providers accountable for their actions.
Our Approach to Medical Malpractice Claims
Medical malpractice cases require a high level of specialized knowledge and sensitivity. Our approach is both meticulous and empathetic.
- Collaboration with Medical Experts: We work with a network of independent medical experts to conduct a thorough review of the medical records and provide an expert opinion on whether the standard of care was breached.
- Navigating the Medical Liability Committee: In the UAE, most medical malpractice claims must first be submitted to a Medical Liability Committee, which will issue a report on the case. We are experienced in presenting compelling cases to this committee on behalf of our clients.
- Compassionate and Determined Advocacy: We understand the trauma our clients have been through. We handle every case with the sensitivity it deserves, while fighting relentlessly to secure the maximum possible compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial damages our clients have endured.
Types of Medical Malpractice Claims We Handle
We represent clients in a wide range of cases involving medical negligence, including:
1. Surgical Errors Cases involving errors made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving a foreign object inside the body, or causing nerve damage.
2. Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis Situations where a doctor’s failure to diagnose a condition in a timely manner, or providing an incorrect diagnosis, leads to a worsening of the condition or a loss of treatment options.
3. Birth Injuries Tragic cases where negligence during childbirth results in injury to the mother or the baby, such as cerebral palsy or other developmental issues.
4. Medication Errors Claims arising from a healthcare provider prescribing the wrong medication, the wrong dosage, or a medication to which the patient has a known allergy.
