Medical Negligence Lawyer in Karachi
Claims and complaints over serious medical errors before the Sindh Healthcare Commission and courts.
In brief
A poor outcome does not always mean negligence. The key question is whether the care fell below the accepted standard and caused the harm. Complaints may go to the Sindh Healthcare Commission under the Sindh Healthcare Commission Act 2013, with other routes including a civil claim for damages or, in some cases, criminal action.
We first help you obtain the records and an independent medical view, and then advise honestly on whether the case should proceed. We also act for healthcare providers facing complaints.
Patients and families harmed by treatment, and doctors or hospitals responding to complaints.

How the matter moves

Questions clients ask
How do I prove negligence?
Usually through medical records and expert opinion showing a breach of the standard of care that caused the harm.
Can I get my medical records?
Patients should be able to request them. Make the request in writing, and we can assist if the hospital refuses.
Is a post-mortem necessary?
It can be important in a death case, but it is a sensitive decision. Take advice quickly, as it can be time-critical.
