How to File a Malpractice Complaint Against a Doctor
As explained by Nolo in the article “Malpractice Complaints Against a Doctor or Hospital,” patients have the right to access information about prior complaints or disciplinary actions against healthcare providers. These records, often available through state medical boards, can reveal patterns of negligence or misconduct. Reviewing a provider’s complaint history helps patients make informed decisions about their medical care and identify potential risks before treatment.
When malpractice occurs, victims can file formal complaints with medical boards or pursue civil lawsuits for compensation. An attorney can assist with obtaining records, assessing the strength of a claim, and filing within state deadlines. Legal support is crucial for holding negligent professionals accountable and protecting patient safety.
