If I think I have a medical malpractice claim, what should I do?

A:

You should schedule a consultation with an experienced medical malpractice attorney. If you can, get a copy of your medical records to bring with you. Tell the attorney what happened and answer all questions as clearly as you can. Start with your first contact with the doctor (or other medical provider) and continue the narrative until your last contact.

Do this as soon as possible, because there is a time limit for bringing your claim.
