Answers to common questions about medical negligence claims and the legal process.
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice?
Statutes of limitations vary by state, typically 1-3 years from the date of injury or discovery. Some states have special rules for minors and foreign object cases.
How do I prove medical malpractice?
You must show the provider owed a duty of care, breached that duty, the breach caused your injury, and you suffered damages. Expert medical testimony is typically required.
What damages can I recover?
Economic damages (medical bills, lost wages), non-economic damages (pain and suffering), and in some cases, punitive damages. Some states cap non-economic damages.
How much does a medical malpractice attorney cost?
Most medical malpractice attorneys work on contingency — they only get paid if you recover. Fees typically range from 25-40% of the recovery.
