Seek Medical Attention (If Needed)
First, prioritize your health. If the malpractice caused injury or worsened your condition, seek treatment from a different provider. This helps ensure your safety and creates a medical record documenting the harm.
Gather Your Medical Records
Medical records are pivotal to proving your case. They provide evidence of your condition before and after the alleged malpractice. Request copies of all pertinent documents, including test results, prescriptions, and treatment notes.
Consult with a Medical Malpractice Attorney
An experienced attorney can review your case and determine if you have grounds for a claim. Medical malpractice cases are complex, and a skilled lawyer on your side can make all the difference in securing fair compensation.
Obtain a Medical Expert’s Opinion
Most states require a medical expert to confirm that malpractice likely occurred. Your attorney can help find a qualified expert to review your records and provide a formal opinion supporting your case.
File a Notice of Claim
Some states require you to notify the healthcare provider of your intent to sue before officially filing a lawsuit. This step may involve submitting documentation or an affidavit from your medical expert.
File the Lawsuit
Once all preliminary steps are complete, your attorney will file the formal complaint in court. This document outlines your allegations, the harm suffered, and the compensation you’re seeking.
Prepare for Litigation or Settlement
Many malpractice claims are resolved through settlement before reaching trial. Your attorney will negotiate for you, but your case may still proceed to court if a fair offer isn’t made.
