The following are a few of the most common questions we're asked by our Mississippi and Tennessee medical malpractice clients.

Can I file a medical malpractice claim?

Yes. You can file a Tennessee or Mississippi claim if you were the victim of medical malpractice, your child was injured by medical malpractice, or a loved one has passed away as a result of a medical professional's or facility's negligent wrongdoing. You may be eligible to recover damages for lost income, medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, disability, and disfigurement. If the medical professional's actions were intentional, you may be able to receive punitive damages.

Is there a time limit on when I can file a claim?

Yes, but you must file the claim within the statutes of limitations, which determines the timeframe in which you can file a lawsuit after either experiencing medical malpractice or realizing medical malpractice was the cause of an injury or death to a loved one. The timeframe can vary based on the circumstances of your claim, and a Mississippi and Tennessee medical malpractice lawyer from the office of John Michael Bailey can advise you on how the statute applies to your claim.

Will I have to go to court if I file a claim?

Not necessarily. Some Tennessee and Mississippi medical malpractice claims can be settled before a lawsuit is even filed. In cases when a lawsuit is filed, the suit often can be settled before the trial is due to begin. The main factor for whether or not your case goes to court depends on our ability to reach a fair settlement with the other party. You may have to go to trial if it's the only way to get you fair compensation for what you've suffered.
