FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Medical negligence requires proving: (1) the doctor owed you a duty of care; (2) they breached the standard of care expected; (3) the breach caused your harm; (4) you suffered damage. Expert medical testimony is crucial. Our lawyers work with medical experts to build strong cases.

Yes. A Consumer Forum complaint seeks financial compensation. A criminal complaint (under Section 304A IPC for death by negligence) seeks criminal accountability. Both can proceed simultaneously. Many families file both to maximize pressure and remedies.

Compensation includes: cost of corrective treatment, loss of earnings during illness, pain and suffering, permanent disability compensation, and punitive damages for gross negligence. High Courts have awarded compensation ranging from ₹5 lakh to over ₹2 crore in severe cases.

For Consumer Forum complaints: 2 years from the date of cause of action. For civil suits: 3 years. For criminal complaints: no limitation period. Our lawyers advise filing as soon as negligence is discovered — delay can weaken evidence.
