A.1. The first step to be taken in case of medical negligence is to file a proper complaint to the State Medical Council against the concerned doctor, practitioner or authority.
2. The victim may file a complaint via the consumer court or a criminal court a per the nature of the negligence.
3. But one must note that a lawsuit against a hospital leads to a long drawn out court battle that will end up being a very costly affair.

The patient-advocate will also advise the patient with regards to monetary compensation, legal disposition and other such things.
