Who can file a case?
There are some rules about who can file claims and who cannot file claims in medical malpractice lawsuits. Furthermore, we understand that each case is different, which means the successfulness of your claim, and how much compensation you receive, will be dependent on the specific details of your case. Take a look at a few of these basic things that must be true if you plan on filing a medical malpractice lawsuit.
- A doctor-patient relationship must have been established. You cannot file a medical malpractice case against a doctor that never agreed to treat you. The advice you heard from a doctor in an informal setting does not make them liable for your injuries.
- The doctor must have been negligent. Not all medical procedures will work out as planned. To file a suit, you need to prove that the doctor was acting negligently and that the negligence caused your injuries.
- The improper care led to specific problems. You must be able to prove that the medical care you received was the cause of any injury or serious illness developed thereafter.
