Many defendants or insurers will have experienced cases where a
plaintiff may not have received optimal medical treatment after the
accident which is the subject of the claim.
The treating doctor may have made the wrong choice of treatment
entirely, or alternatively may have made the right choice but then
implemented that option ineffectively. Had the doctor not made such
a mistake, then the treatment expenses may have been much lower, or
the plaintiff may have recovered from the accident and returned to
work more quickly.
Either way, the actions of the treating doctor have proved
costly for the defendant. Bartier Perry therefore regularly receive
queries from defendants about whether they have a cause of action
against the doctor.
