Medical Misdiagnosis

Blumers are experienced in handling complex medical misdiagnosis claims.

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

When a medical professional diagnoses – or fails to diagnose - an illness or condition, the consequences of a mistake can be extremely serious. If the mistake comes from the negligence of a medical professional, you might have a claim.

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