At Craddock Murray Neumann Lawyers we offer expert advice and representation in the field of medical and health law.
Our experienced team of lawyers includes Julia Sweeney, a litigator who previously worked in the medical/health industry where she gained postgraduate qualifications in nursing, health management and emergency medicine and seven years’ clinical experience. Julia has acted in numerous Court actions where her knowledge of medical procedures and ability to source evidence about those procedures has proved invaluable, including inquests and disciplinary matters involving medical practitioners and health professionals - cases drawing on Julia’s skills as a lawyer, her forensic and investigatory skills and her medical knowledge. In recognition of her medico-legal experience, Julia has now been appointed as a member of the St Vincent’s Hospital Health Research Ethics Committee.
We can provide advice and representation in the following areas:
- privacy of information issues
- advice on medico-legal issues including access to clinical records, etc
- Inquests/coronial enquiries
- issues regarding care received
- ICAC enquiries
- disciplinary enquiries e.g. into misconduct by medical professionals and health workers etc.
The team at Craddock Murray Neumann will ensure clients are given practical and realistic advice. In doing so we aim to help clients understand their legal rights and obligations - whether as a health professional or as a patient, or recipient of health care.
Our lawyers work hard to ensure that they keep our clients informed of developments in their case. We also take pride in the fact that all cases are properly investigated, researched and prepared before proceeding, and that clients are fully briefed on the potential costs of a matter and the results they can expect.
