Medical Mishaps

Blumers are experts in handling claims arising out of medical mishaps.

We practice in the ACT, WA, NSW, VIC, & Tasmania.

When a medical professional makes a mistake and that mistake is negligent, the person who suffers harm as a result of the mistake will have a claim against the negligent person – or institution.

Blumers can help you to work out if you have a claim and pursue it for you on a “no win no fee” basis.
