What you need to know about filing a medical malpractice case

First, you should understand there are statutes of limitations in medical malpractice cases. The statute of limitations is the deadline for you to file a claim, or you forever lose the right to do so. They differ between Washington D.C. and Maryland, and there are various rules depending on if the victim is a minor or an adult, and whether the victim died as a result of the negligence. Our attorneys can give you specific information regarding whether your claim meets the time requirements.

Secondly, you should know that to make a claim of medical malpractice, you will need to prove:

The doctor, hospital, institution or other health care provider acted negligently. In other words, he or she or they made a mistake; and

That mistake caused physical, mental, and/or emotional harm.

So, to file a medical malpractice claim, you will need evidence that proves these elements. The law requires you to build a direct link between the doctor’s negligent actions and the harm done to you. The typical evidence used to prove your case includes:

Medical records

Medical bills and expenses

Witness statements

Expert witness testimony
