What To Do In Case Medical Malpractice:
Seek legal advice you suspect you or a family member might be the victim of medical malpractice.
Insist on certified copies of all medical records relating to your treatment. Medical records are confidential but as the patient you have a right to all records—including charges.
Write a diary or ledger with notes on everything the doctor, medical facility, and staff told or instructed you to do.
Keep an accurate chronological record of when you first sought treatment, the names of any specialists you were referred to, outpatient care, etc.
Seek a second opinion from a qualified doctor but do not share your suspicions of malpractice with the second doctor.
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.
Seek the advice and representation of an attorney who concentrates his/her practice in the area of medical malpractice, as very few attorneys are competent in handling these cases.
What Not Do In Case Of Medical Malpractice:
- Don’t attempt to confront the doctor(s), medical staff, lawyers for the medical facility, or anyone else regarding your suspicions until you’ve spoken with your attorney.
- Don’t sign anything, waive any rights, or admit to any responsibility.
- Don’t discuss your suspicions with any other person outside of your attorney and your immediate family.
- Don’t continue receiving treatment from doctors or medical institutions that you suspect are perpetrating malpractice against you.
- 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.
