If you have been harmed due to medical negligence during a procedure or treatment in Turkey, you may be entitled to compensation. At our experienced law firm, we help individuals—especially international patients—pursue medical malpractice claims when doctors, surgeons, or clinics fail to meet their duties.
Our team includes experienced medical malpractice lawyers in Turkey and international legal advisors. We provide clear, practical advice and full legal representation to help you navigate the legal process and secure the compensation you deserve.
A medical malpractice case arises when a doctor or healthcare provider causes harm through careless or improper treatment. In Turkey, this area is governed by Turkish health law, and the rules for proving negligence can be complex.
Common examples of medical malpractice cases in Turkey include:
Failed cosmetic surgery
Surgical mistakes or infection
Incorrect use of anesthesia
Delayed or wrong diagnosis
Lack of proper aftercare
We assist victims of medical malpractice by reviewing their medical records, gathering evidence, and guiding them through every stage of the claim.
Many international visitors travel to Turkey for private healthcare or cosmetic surgery. While many clinics offer good care, some healthcare institutions fail to meet safety standards. Our clinical negligence lawyers in Turkey are especially experienced in handling the following cases:
Patients may experience serious problems after breast enlargement surgery, including implant rupture, severe scarring, or uneven results. We act for clients whose injuries were caused by poor surgical planning, lack of aftercare, or failure to obtain informed consent.
Liposuction carries risks such as internal injury, infection, and blood clots. When clinics do not check the patient’s fitness or perform the procedure safely, legal action may be needed.
Procedures like gastric sleeve or bypass must be performed with care. In many medical malpractice lawsuits, patients were not told about risks, or their condition was not monitored properly after surgery.
Dental tourism can lead to complications like nerve damage, poorly placed implants, or gum infections. We support patients in filing a medical malpractice claim where negligence by dentists has caused lasting harm.
Tragically, some procedures end in death because of poor medical decisions or delays. We assist families who lost loved ones in medical malpractice lawsuits, helping them seek justice and appropriate compensation.
We are a modern, responsive law firm with experience in representing clients from the UK, Europe, and other countries who were harmed during medical treatment in Turkey. Our team understands both the Turkish and international legal systems, allowing us to handle complex cross-border issues.
Our services include:

We make the legal process as clear and stress-free as possible.
Compensation claims can cover a wide range of losses caused by medical mistakes. These may include:
Medical expenses (past and future)
Pain and suffering
Loss of income
Travel costs
Psychological distress
Funeral costs in wrongful death cases
Each case is different. We will calculate your losses carefully and support your claim with expert evidence.
To succeed in filing a medical malpractice claim, you must prove three key things:
The provider failed to follow medical standards
This failure caused your injury
You suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm
We prepare strong cases by collecting your medical records, working with medical experts, and using trusted translators when needed. If the clinic refuses to cooperate or negotiate fairly, we are fully prepared to begin court proceedings.
Under Turkish health law, the usual deadline for medical malpractice claims is five years from the date of harm or discovery of the issue. In some cases—such as those involving state-run healthcare institutions—different deadlines may apply.
It’s important to act quickly. Waiting too long can make it harder to prove your case or recover key documents.
If you believe you or a family member was harmed due to medical negligence, our malpractice lawyers in Turkey are ready to help. We will listen to your story, review your documents, and explain your options clearly. Whether you’re still in Turkey or back in your home country, we can guide you through every step.
