Family members can file a wrongful death claim for funeral costs, loss of financial support, and emotional distress. Compensation varies State-by-State.
The first steps of the legal process include:
Your compensation entitlement is dependent on the extent of your injury. You may claim for past and future medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, nursing and attendant care expenses, rehabilitation and loss of life enjoyment.
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider breaches their duty of care, causing injury or harm. Medical providers must take reasonable care of their patients and provide care levels up to an expected standard.
If they fail, and this failure causes or contributes to an injury, then the patient may have a compensation claim. It is essential to understand that medical treatment is complex. Not all errors or injuries arise from negligence.
Injuries must be significant, often requiring proof of lasting impairment or financial loss. Thresholds vary by state. We recommend you contact our team to discuss this threshold in further detail.
