What Is Medical Malpractice?


Medical malpractice happens when a doctor or other medical professional fails to provide the expected level of care, and this leads to injury or harm. Some common examples include:


  • Misdiagnosing a disease

  • Delayed treatment or no treatment at all

  • Surgical errors

  • Giving the wrong medication

  • Failing to get informed consent from the patient

  • Injuries during childbirth

  • Cosmetic or dental procedures that go wrong


Under Turkish health law, patients have rights. If those rights are ignored or violated, the patient can seek legal representation to file a malpractice lawsuit.


Why You Need a Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Turkey


Filing a medical malpractice claim can be complicated. Hospitals and clinics often deny responsibility. That’s why these cases require the help of a skilled medical malpractice lawyer.


Canko Law Firm: Representing Clients Across Turkey and Beyond


At Canko Law Firm, we have years of experience in representing clients in both local and international medical malpractice cases in Turkey. We understand how sensitive and complex these matters can be.


Our team helps with:

  • Reviewing medical records

  • Gathering evidence and expert opinions

  • Preparing strong claims

  • Negotiating with hospitals or insurance companies

  • Filing claims in court if necessary


We are here to protect your rights and help you through each step of the legal process.


Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle


Hospital and Surgical Negligence

Mistakes made during surgery or hospital care can cause life-changing injuries. These cases may involve tools left inside the body, infections from poor hygiene, or operations done on the wrong body part.


Dental Malpractice

Poor dental treatments—such as nerve damage, infection, or improper extractions—can also lead to serious health issues. We assist with claims involving dental clinics throughout Turkey.


Cosmetic and Esthetic Treatment Failures

Esthetic clinics offering fillers, Botox, hair transplants, and plastic surgery are increasingly involved in malpractice lawsuits. If something goes wrong during a beauty procedure, you have the right to take legal action.


Birth Injuries

Injuries to the baby or mother during childbirth can happen if doctors fail to act quickly. These are serious medical malpractice cases that may result in long-term disabilities.

How the Legal Process Works


Step 1: Case Review and Legal Consultancy

Our law firm begins by listening to your story. We’ll assess your medical records and explain your legal rights clearly.


Step 2: Gathering Evidence

Gathering evidence is one of the most important parts of your claim. This may include:

  • Medical files and test results

  • Expert medical reports

  • Photos of the injury

  • Witness statements


Step 3: Preparing the Claim

Once we’ve reviewed the details, we’ll prepare a detailed medical malpractice claim. Our goal is to make your case as strong as possible.


Step 4: Negotiation or Court

In some cases, hospitals or insurers will agree to settle. If they don’t, we are ready to take the case to court and provide powerful legal representation every step of the way.



Your Rights Under Turkish Health Law


If you’ve been hurt due to medical negligence, the law is on your side. Patients in Turkey have the right to:


  • Be treated safely and professionally

  • Be informed about the risks and options

  • Refuse or accept treatment

  • Seek compensation when injured by negligence


Medical negligence in Turkey is taken seriously, and you don’t have to face it alone.
