Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Errors or negligence occurring during medical procedures can result in physical, psychological, and financial harm to patients. In such cases, those who have suffered harm have the right to seek compensation.
Medical malpractice lawsuits cover cases involving misdiagnosis, surgical errors, inadequate treatment, medication errors, anesthesia complications, and other instances of medical negligence.
The purpose of these cases is to compensate the patient for the damages suffered and to establish the legal liability of those responsible. Medical expenses, loss of income, loss of earning capacity, and emotional distress may be eligible for compensation.
Since each case must be evaluated within its own specific context, it is of the utmost importance that the process be handled by legal experts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I entitled to compensation for medical negligence in Turkey?
You may be entitled to compensation if you suffered harm as a result of negligent medical treatment. Medical negligence can arise from surgical errors, delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, failures in post-operative care, lack of informed consent, or other breaches of accepted medical standards. Each case must be assessed individually, taking into account the treatment provided and the harm suffered.
Do I need to travel to Turkey if I decide to pursue a medical negligence compensation claim?
No. Once a Power of Attorney is granted, your legal representatives can handle court proceedings, official applications, and communications with the relevant institutions on your behalf. International patients can pursue a medical negligence compensation claim in Turkey without attending court hearings in person. Throughout the process, your lawyers will represent your interests and keep you informed of all important developments.
What losses can be included in a medical negligence compensation claim?
Depending on the circumstances of your case, compensation may include the cost of the original treatment, corrective treatment expenses, future medical care, travel and accommodation costs, loss of earnings, rehabilitation expenses, pain and suffering, psychological distress, and any long-term impact on your quality of life. The purpose of compensation is to place you, as far as possible, in the position you would have been in had the negligence not occurred.
Can I claim compensation if I signed a consent form before treatment?
Yes. Signing a consent form does not automatically prevent you from bringing a claim. Medical professionals are required to provide clear and accurate information about the risks, benefits, alternatives, and expected outcomes of treatment. If you were not properly informed, if important risks were withheld, or if the treatment provided fell below accepted medical standards, you may still have grounds to pursue compensation.
How long do I have to make a medical negligence compensation claim in Turkey?
Medical negligence claims in Turkey are generally subject to a five-year limitation period. However, the time limits applicable to a particular case may vary depending on the circumstances. For this reason, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure that your rights are protected and that important evidence is preserved.
