Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

The statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Connecticut is two years from the date of the alleged negligent action or omission that caused the patient's injury.

The injured patient can file a medical malpractice claim in a court of law.

If the plaintiff and the defendant can come to an agreement, they may be able to settle the case out of court.

If both parties are unable to reach an agreement, the case will proceed to trial and the judge will decide who wins.

If the patient wins the case, the judge will decide on the damages to be awarded.

Compensation may include medical expenses, future medical expenses and lost wages.

If your health care provider has failed to take proper care of you or a loved one, you may have a medical malpractice claim. Ganim Injury Lawyers have extensive experience representing medical malpractice claims.
