FAQ's

If you or a loved one have experienced unnecessary pain and suffering due to medical negligence, you may have a malpractice case. Proving malpractice can be challenging, but our list of frequently asked questions will guide you in making informed decisions to protect your rights and avoid costly mistakes.

What qualifies as medical malpractice in Louisiana?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional or facility deviates from accepted standards of care in labs, diagnostic centers, surgeries or other medical settings, and that negligence causes injury or death.

When should I seek legal advice after suspecting a medical error?

You should contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney as soon as you suspect an error — prompt action helps preserve evidence and protect your rights.

What important records should I collect if I believe I’m a victim of medical malpractice?

You should insist on certified copies of all relevant medical records, create a detailed diary or ledger of treatments and communications, and maintain a chronological record of when you sought care and any specialists you saw.

What should I be careful "not to do” in a medical malpractice claim?

Avoid confronting the provider or facility on your own, don’t sign any documents or admit responsibility without consulting an attorney, and refrain from discussing your suspicions with anyone outside your attorney and immediate family.

Can I continue treatment with the same provider if I suspect malpractice?

Cease receiving care from the source you suspect might be committing malpractice against you, unless that provider is in the midst of a complex treatment and it would be inappropriate or detrimental to make an immediate change.

What should I document in my personal record after a suspected medical error?

Keep a daily journal of symptoms, treatments, communications with providers, resulting side-effects, and any advice or referrals given — this documentation strengthens your claim.

How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Louisiana?

In Louisiana, medical malpractice claims typically must be filed within one year of the date of the alleged negligence or from when the injury was discovered. Because these timelines can be complex, it’s best to contact a qualified medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Do I let the medical office know I'm suspecting malpractice?

Don’t tell medical personnel that you need medical records to bring to an attorney. Instead, tell them you need the records for insurance and/or social security purposes.

Are medical malpractice cases hard to prove?

Medical malpractice cases can be challenging because they require proving that a healthcare professional failed to meet accepted medical standards. Working with an experienced law firm familiar with complex medical evidence and expert testimony can make a critical difference in your case.
