You place your life in the hands of doctors when undergoing a procedure. You trust that they will do no harm and provide you with the quality medical care. You hope the medical personnel will do everything right, but you also understand that not all procedures go as planned. Things can go wrong.
Accidents can happen to anyone. But if the cause is entirely preventable, that is a different story. You have a legitimate claim if a medical provider was negligent in handling your situation. If you think you have a medical malpractice claim, contact The Doctor Lawyer Team.
Medical malpractice in Connecticut can be brought by a patient against licensed practitioners, including doctors, nurses, mental health professionals, or therapists. To file for a claim, you must do so within the statute of limitations of two years from when the medical error occurred or was discovered.
The majority of medical malpractice claims are settled out of court rather than going to litigation, which is more expensive for everyone. Connecticut does not impose a limit on damages that can be awarded.
