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.
4. If the victim wishes to receive monetary compensation, the best way would be to approach a consumer court.
Once a complaint is filed, the consumer court investigates the claim.
5. In some cases, they can even suspend the concerned doctor’s license if he or she is found responsible for gross negligence.
6. The victim can instead choose to approach a Patient-Advocate, who is someone who conveys medical duty owed to the patient.
7. In case of a breach, the patient advocate will inform the victims of the steps they are to take.
The patient-advocate will also advise the patient with regards to monetary compensation, legal disposition and other such things.
