How we help
Medical negligence cases we handle in Colombia
Colombia is a top destination for medical and cosmetic tourism — and when a procedure goes wrong, foreign patients often return home unsure of their rights. We investigate the case with medical support and pursue the responsible party under Colombian law.
Surgical Mistakes
Operating errors, retained instruments, anesthesia failures and post-operative negligence in clinics and hospitals.
Misdiagnosis & Delayed Care
Wrong or late diagnosis, ignored symptoms and treatment that worsened your condition instead of resolving it.
Dental Malpractice
Negligent implants, extractions and dental-tourism procedures that caused injury, infection or permanent damage.
Hospital & Clinic Liability
Institutional negligence: understaffing, unsafe conditions, infections and failures in the standard of care.
Serious Injury & Wrongful Death
Permanent disability or the loss of a loved one. We help families claim the compensation the law provides.

Frequently asked questions
Medical malpractice in Colombia for foreigners
I had surgery in Colombia and returned home. Can I still claim?
Yes. You do not need to remain in Colombia to bring a claim. We obtain your clinical records, work with medical experts and represent you through a power of attorney while you are abroad.
What compensation can I recover for medical negligence?
Colombian law allows recovery for material damages (medical costs, lost income) and non-material damages (pain and suffering, loss of life enjoyment). The amount depends on the harm proven and its consequences.
How do you prove malpractice?
We must show the provider breached the accepted standard of care and that this caused your injury. We rely on your clinical history, expert medical opinion and the applicable clinical guidelines.
Is there a time limit to sue for medical negligence?
Yes. Civil and criminal actions are subject to prescription periods in Colombia, so acting promptly matters. We assess your dates in the first consultation to protect your claim.
Can I also report the doctor, not just seek money?
Yes. Beyond a civil claim for compensation, doctors and clinics can face disciplinary and, in serious cases, criminal proceedings. We advise on the routes that fit your goals.
