FAAIZ Law assists patients and families in pursuing compensation for injury or death caused by the negligence of doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers, in both private and government facilities. We act for clients across Malaysia from our offices in Puchong, Durian Tunggal and Sungai Petani, serving Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Perak and Kedah.
Medical negligence cases are often complex and require careful handling. We act for patients who have suffered harm through misdiagnosis, surgical errors, delayed or wrong treatment, medication mistakes, or a failure to obtain proper consent. We work to establish that the standard of care fell below what was reasonably expected and that this caused the injury, and we pursue fair compensation for the loss and suffering involved.
A medical negligence claim is built on the medical records and on the opinion of an independent medical expert. Where a hospital does not release the records, we can apply to court for pre-action discovery before a suit is filed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What must I prove in a medical negligence claim?
You must generally show that the doctor or hospital owed you a duty of care, that the care given fell below the standard reasonably expected, and that this caused your injury.
How long do I have to make a claim?
Generally six years against a private doctor or hospital. A shorter period of 36 months applies to claims against government hospitals and other public authorities, and a dependency claim arising from a death must be brought within three years of the death, so you should seek advice early.
Do I need my medical records?
Yes. Medical records and reports are key evidence, and we can help you request them from the hospital or clinic.
Can I claim if a family member has died?
Yes. Dependants may claim for loss of support and related losses where a death was caused by medical negligence.
