Establishing Gross Medical Negligence Following the Death of a Child

George advised and represented the parents of a child who tragically passed away during a medical procedure performed at a healthcare institution in the UAE. The matter was exceptionally sensitive and required a careful review of the medical records, the treatment provided, the conduct of the medical professionals involved and the circumstances leading to the child’s death. A medical negligence complaint was filed before the competent Medical Negligence Committee. The initial determination was unfavourable to the family. Following a detailed review of the medical findings and the deficiencies in the treatment provided, George advised the clients to challenge the decision and pursued an appeal on their behalf. The appeal resulted in a favourable determination confirming that gross medical negligence had occurred. The finding represented an important outcome for the family, both in establishing professional accountability and in preserving their right to pursue the further legal remedies and compensation available to them.
