I engaged with Garling and Co to assist me for my weekly payment dispute with the insurance. I was upset with Natasha, as she didn't prepare me to the worse outcome or told me about the kind of... negotiation in the hearing. I assumed that as a Lawyer she should have an experience with the process or the way to solve the case. Even though I asked her what should I do or what would be happened in the hearing a week before but she didn't mentioned anything, and told me not do anything. But in the hearing she and the Barrister only gave me less than 5 minutes to make decision and pushed me to accept the disappointed outcome and what she said in the hearing totally different with what she said earlier. I don't trust her at all, her words is not consistent.I would like to express my appreciation to Matthew Garling who had stepped in to handle my weekly payment issue with the insurance. He is very professional, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and very humble. My disappointment earlier has melted away by his kindness and caring to resolve my issue which has came out the great outcome. Now I am satisfied with his expertise therefore I would not hesitate to let him to handle the case I might have in the future.As I said before I would not hesitate to let my other claim to be handled by a professional as Matthew Garling. I would like to thank him for his time and effort to settle my case smoothly and I trusted him to give me the best outcome. Also I appreciated his support and his patience to answer my questions from the time I signed the agreement up to the day before the mediation. He did not promise the unrealistic outcome but what ever he promised that what the result was according to his experiences. And I would not forget to Alison, Nathan who also have assisted this matters, by gathering all documents and answering my questions.Also my appreciation to a Barrister Mr Dallas Morgan.So, in summary I am really grateful to have Garling and Co as my lawyer to handle my damaged claim.read moreTina S

So very impressed with the professional team who looked after me throughout the last 4 and 1/2 years. A special mention to Kerry and Nathan who navigated each request to fight for my right to gain... access to further treatments and physio and to ensure medical treatment would be covered moving forward. I was so grateful I could hand it all over to you and not have to go through this very challenging time without your support.I thank you for the compassion you have provided to me, from the first contact with Matthew and Natasha, to finalisation with Kerry and Nathan.I highly recommend the team at Garling and Co for any third party compensation claims.

Emma, Rebecca and the team at Garling and Co have worked diligently throughout my workers compensation claim. The level of professionalism, support and communication has been faultless. Of particular... note has been the sensitivity displayed to me throughout the lengthy process. Worker’s compensation claims are complex and not easy to navigate, particularly when you are unwell. I do not hesitate to recommend Garling and Co to help you find a way through this otherwise unfathomable system.read more
Delayed Diagnosis Compensation Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can you sue for injuries caused by a hospital’s failure to prevent infection?
Yes, you may commence legal proceedings for compensation against a hospital if you sustained a permanent or significant injury due to a hospital’s failure to prevent infection.
2. What are the health consequences of an untreated infection?
Sepsis could develop if a patient’s infection was not diagnosed in a timely fashion and the patient did not receive appropriate treatment. Sepsis could result in multi-organ failure and even death in very severe cases. Patients may also develop osteomyelitis in cases of infection that progress to involve the bone, which is sometimes seen in diabetic patients. Some patients may require limb amputation to contain the infection. In young children, infection can cause meningitis and brain damage, and even death.
3. Who is responsible for the failure of hospital staff to prevent or effectively treat infection?
Hospitals are responsible for any alleged negligence by their employees, servants, or agents. Legal proceedings for compensation are usually commenced against the hospital. If the patient establishes negligence, compensation may be awarded for pain and suffering, the cost of personal care and domestic assistance, medical and allied health treatment costs, and any lost earnings.
