Law Seminar Series - Medical Negligence
Thursday 25 July, 4.00pm - 5.00pm When a medical professional fails to take reasonable care to prevent injury to a patient, this is known as medical negligence. Join Barrister Laura Neil, for an insightful presentation on the legal options available when pursuing a medical negligence claim, covering the key elements and common scenarios encountered in such cases. This seminar will offer valuable insights into the defenses that may be raised, the importance of causation, and the governing legislation that guides these claims. Laura will also explore the concept of contributory negligence and how harm and damages are assessed in medical negligence cases. Whether you're a legal practitioner seeking to enhance your expertise or a healthcare professional navigating the complexities of negligence law, this presentation offers a comprehensive overview that promises to inform and empower. Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of medical negligence law and its implications. Laura Neil is a Barrister in private practice and a mediator, practicing throughout Queensland, but particularly in Cairns, Townsville and Mackay. She was first called to the Bar in 2013, having previously been a solicitor for approximately 16 years.

She practices in workers compensation, motor vehicle accidents, occupiers liability and medical negligence.

Her proudest achievement has been raising her two daughters.
