Dear Sir,

The first necessary step if you are a victim of medical negligence is to file aComplaint against the doctor with the State Medical Council. The victim can file acomplaint in the state consumer court also and there can be a criminal suit filed by the patient against the hospital or the doctor himself. It is very important for the treating doctor to properly document the management of a patient under his care.

If you suspect medical negligence then you may have to gather evidence because your presumption will not help you to file any case before consumer forum for deficiency in service.

Simultaneously you may have to obtain an expert opinion from a different doctor on the subject so that you can confidently file a consumer case, before that you may first ascertain that if this is a fit case for fighting against medical negligence.

The case has to be filed in the state where cause of action arose and opposite party resides. See the patient can do affidavit in karnataka and can give vakaltnama to advocate in other state personally he doesnot need to travel then.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that there has been a gross negligence on the part of the doctors.
  2. No, it should be filed within the jurisdiction of the place where the incident has happened.
  3. And it is not necessary for the victim to come time and again to the state forum, he may have to come one time only as he is completely disabled now, and if judge required he doesn’t have the need to come for even one time.
  4. Only doctors report would serve the purpose.
