It is important to know what constitutes medical negligence. A doctor owes certain duties to the patient who consults him for illness. A deficiency in this duty results in negligence. A basic knowledge of how medical negligence is adjudicated in the various judicial courts of India will help a doctor to practice his profession without undue worry about facing litigation for alleged medical negligence.

U can file a complaint in the consumer forum against the hospital for negligence of service.

you can file a medical negligency case before the consumer court ,where you got service from the hospital to get compensation. Another solution is that you can file before the Medical Council of that state or before the medical council of India

Hello,

We understand your concern.

The first step to be taken in case of medical negligence is to file a proper complaint to the State Medical Council against the concerned doctor, practitioner or authority.

A complaint can be filed in the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum if the value of services and compensation claimed is less than 20 lakhs or before the state commission if the value does not exceed more than 1 crore rupees. If, however, the value of goods or service and the compensation exceed more than 1 crore rupees, the National Commission is to be approached.  

Hope this answers your query.

Regards,

Liyana Shaji
