Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Turkey (2025)
Updated: 10 hours ago
When people visit a hospital, dentist, or cosmetic clinic, they expect to receive safe and proper treatment. But sometimes, mistakes happen. These mistakes can cause serious harm to patients and may be considered medical malpractice.
If you or someone you care about has been hurt by medical negligence, you may be able to file a medical malpractice claim in Turkey. At Canko Law Firm, our experienced malpractice lawyers help people like you seek justice and compensation. We provide professional legal support throughout the legal process.
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.
What must be shown in a negligence case?
Rules differ by country and by type of claim. In general, a negligence case looks at three things:
Duty of care: the health care provider owed you a duty to treat you with proper skill.
Breach of duty: the care fell below the expected standard.
Harm caused by the breach: the poor care caused your injury or loss.
Clinical negligence of this kind can follow medical errors such as a wrong diagnosis or a surgical mistake. Not every poor result is negligence, so a lawyer will review your records before advising you. Injury claims like these can take time. Expert medical reports are often needed.

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.

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.

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.
