Frequently asked questions about medical malpractice
What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice or professional negligence is the failure of a doctor, hospital, nurse, technician, pharmacist or other healthcare provider to uphold good and accepted medical techniques or principles. Failure to uphold those standards can result in injury or death to a patient.
Can I sue for medical malpractice?
A patient injured due to medical negligence, or his or her family members, can file suit. When someone dies as a result of medical negligence, the patient's family may sue for wrongful death.
How long do I have to bring suit?
There is a one-year statute of limitations in medical negligence cases. Generally, this means that the lawsuit must be brought within one year from the time the patient or his representatives knew or should have known that the injury occurred as a result of medical malpractice.
Because statute of limitations rules change and can be complex, you should consult with an attorney immediately if you think you have a medical negligence action.
