I'm a Victim of Medical Malpractice - How Do I Get Compensated?

Whether it be because of a medication error, misdiagnosis, anesthetic error, surgical error, hospital-acquired infection, or some other negligence, you and your family are now scrambling to pick up the pieces. If you believe you are a victim of medical malpractice and wish to seek compensation, you can consider the following steps:

Consult with an Attorney:
Contact a qualified medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible. They can review your medical records and determine whether negligence occurred. Many law firms offer free consultations and only charge if they win your case.

Families affected by serious birth injuries such as asphyxia during birth, delayed C-section, or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) may qualify for active legal investigations:

Birth Injuries: Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) & Cerebral Palsy Investigation

Delayed C-Section / Failure to Respond to Fetal Distress Investigation

Lack of Oxygen Asphyxia During Birth Investigation

These cases allege that hospitals and medical staff failed to act quickly during childbirth, leading to permanent brain damage, cerebral palsy, and other complications.

Gather Evidence:
Collect all relevant medical records, photographs, and any other evidence related to your case. This may include documentation of injuries, medical bills, and correspondence with healthcare providers.

Get a Second Opinion or Even Third Opinion:
Consult another medical professional to get a parallel opinion on your condition and treatment. This can help strengthen your case by establishing a connection between the alleged malpractice and your injuries.

Determine Damages:
Document the damages you have suffered, both economic (medical expenses, lost wages) and non-economic (pain and suffering, emotional distress). This will be crucial in determining the compensation you may be entitled to.

File a Complaint:
Find an attorney that will help you file a complaint against the healthcare professional or facility involved. This typically initiates the legal process.

Negotiation or Mediation:
In some cases, your attorney may attempt to negotiate a settlement with the defendant or their insurance company. Mediation is another option, where a neutral third party helps facilitate a resolution.

File a Lawsuit:
If negotiations or mediation fail, your attorney may file a lawsuit on your behalf. The legal process can be lengthy, involving discovery, depositions, and other legal procedures. Act fast because there may be statute of limitations which restrict how much time you have to file a lawsuit.

What is the Time Limit for Medical Malpractice Cases?

The time limit, or statute of limitations can vary State-by-State and depend on a range of factors, but a good rule of thumb is to act quickly because even two to three (2 to 3) years from the time the medical malpractice occurred may be the limitation.

Take Self-Care Steps:
Do not suffer alone as you and your family do not need to weather this incredibly difficult times. Reach out to friends, family, and seek professional assistance in the form of legal help or therapeutic support.
