Question:

How do I file a complaint for negligent medical treatment?

Answer:

If you believe you have a claim for negligent medical treatment, you should consult a personal injury attorney.  An attorney should offer you a free consultation to help assess whether you have a claim and how long it might take to go through the process of filing your claim. Your attorney will decide whether it is best to contact the medical provider before filing suit in district court.   You can file a lawsuit for yourself in district court, or you can file a complaint directly with your medical provider.  If you file a complaint directly with your medical provider, be careful that you do not waive any of your future rights for compensation and be aware that incriminating documents may be destroyed once you inform the medical provider of a possible negligence claim.
