So, it is crucial for the patient to determine the value of his case. The patient
should, then, consider all possible losses and harm that is stemming from the
malpractice, including, past and future medical expenses, losses in wages, pain
and, suffering, etc. Many states require the patients to jump through a few hoops
before finally filing medical malpractice lawsuits. These requirements vary from
state to state. A patient may have to file an affidavit of merit attested by a
qualified medical expert that states the plaintiff has a valid case.
