How Do I Choose A Medical Malpractice Attorney?

  • Medical malpractice occurs in a variety of ways,
    including
  • Surgical errors
  • Delayed treatment
  • A misdiagnosis
  • Early discharge
  • Prescription problems
  • Healthcare-acquired infections
  • And more
  • Any time a patients treatment deviates from the
    standard of care met by medical professionals
    with similar training or experience and causes
    injuries or illness.

WHAT IS MEDICAL MALPRACTICE?
3
Medical mistakes kill around 250,000 people in
the US each year, making them the third leading
cause of death in the country. However, this is
only part of the overall picture, as millions of
others survive medical errors. These victims and
their families are left dealing with the
consequences of malpractice, sometimes for the
rest of their lives.
HOW OFTEN DO THESE MISTAKES HAPPEN?
4
IS THERE A STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR ME TO FILE
A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASE IN UTAH?
Yes, there is a two-year statute of limitations
from the date the injury was or should have been
discovered to file a lawsuit. You cannot file a
medical malpractice lawsuit for more than four
years from the occurrence of the malpractice.
5
DID I LOSE MY RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT BY SIGNING
A CONSENT FORM?
No, you did not lose your right to file a medical
malpractice lawsuit. Consent forms are vital in
the medical field. Your doctor needs to fully
explain the risks and complications associated
with a procedure, medication, or course of
treatment. When you sign the form, you are
agreeing that you wish the continue, even knowing
what could happen.
