How to file medical negligence case for surgery complications?
I underwent ureteroscopy for kidney stone removal at Jupiter Hospital in January 2025. Post-surgery, I developed a ureteral stricture that required additional treatment. My concerns are: • No pre-operative imaging was done on the day of surgery, despite hospital protocol. • During the operation, the laser was reportedly not functioning, and I was under partial anesthesia but heard the conversation. • The hospital refuses to provide written responses to my queries. • I suspect intra-operative trauma may have caused the stricture. Do I have grounds for a medical negligence case? What evidence is required to file a case in consumer court? Also, one doctor told me they cannot give their opinion in writing. Is there any way to get a written opinion from another doctor, such as a government doctor?
Dear client, as per your query, To file a medical negligence case for surgery complications, gather all medical records, consult a specialized medical malpractice attorney, and file a complaint with the hospital, state medical council, or consumer forum/court, with options for criminal charges for gross negligence, keeping in mind the statute of limitations, and the need to prove the doctor's care fell below the accepted standard, causing injury. I hope this answer was helpful. For further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you.
You may have a medical negligence case if the hospital did not follow proper care and caused harm. Collect all medical records and get a second opinion from a government doctor.
