Coronial investigations & inquests

For most medical professionals and health practitioners called before a Coronial investigation or inquest, it is their first experience of such an event.

Panetta McGrath helps clients to prepare for these situations. We support you at every step of the process, from advice on whether legal representation might be needed at the inquest, preparing statements, obtaining expert evidence, advice on legal issues and possible and likely outcomes, providing advocacy at the inquest itself and dealing with media interest. After the inquest, we provide advice on possible risk management issues and possible transition to a negligence claim.

At each step, we are careful to consider what is important for our clients and how we can ease the process for them.
