If you believe that you were injured by a medical professional’s wrongdoing or negligence you have the right to file a medical malpractice claim. If a child has suffered a medical malpractice, then that child’s family is responsible for filing the claim and has the legal right in seeking for compensation through the civil court in a civil case. If medical malpractice has resulted in a death of loved one, the patient’s beneficiaries and dependents may be eligible to file a medical malpractice claim.
