Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file?

There is a limited time for filing a claim against a particular case. The Statute of Limitations is the deadline which every victim must abide by for recovering the accident damages. Whether your injuries are minor or significant, you won’t be eligible for filing a claim if you miss the deadline. The legal experts are aware of such deadlines and follow all legal formalities to ensure fair judgment. As the statute of limitations varies from state to state, it is incredibly crucial for you to discuss with a professional at the earliest.

How do I know if I have a case?

Inadequate support from the officials
Failure of the defendant to abide by the regulations
Intentional or unintentional cause of injury of the plaintiff
Losses recovered from defendant’s end

What Is Liability?

Liability is when a person is answerable to the law for not respecting his/her responsibilities. The intentional attempts or the failure of not following the law can harm others. In the case of medical malpractice, several parties are held responsible. The degree of liability for medical mishaps is often higher than in any other issues.

What Is Negligence?

If a person is careless towards performing his/her initial duties, it is treated as negligence. For example:- if a medical professional is negligent towards taking the necessary steps before surgery, it can result in injuries which can lead to dire consequences for the victim. Medical malpractice cases often involve the negligence of health care professionals.

What Can Be Considered Damages?

An injured person often incurs several kinds of losses which are termed as ‘damages.’ It is a legal term to represent monetary, physical, and emotional pain and distress. Following are some of the damages caused due to medical malpractice:

Preliminary bills of medicines
Hospital bed charges and doctor’s visits
Cost of primary operations and surgeries
Time loss due to the recovery of injuries
Psychological distress and mental trauma
Income loss
