In some states, for example, malpractice lawsuits have to go before a pre-lawsuit panel.
Seek a Medical Evaluation and Notify the Insurer
Luckily for malpractice victims, medical professionals usually have insurance to cover any potential malpractice claims. If you would like to file a malpractice claim, you should get a medical evaluation to see if you have a claim. You will also want notify the the medical professional's insurance as soon as possible.
Be Aware of Statutes of Limitation
You may not be aware that your doctor made a mistake until well after the malpractice occurred. For example, if the doctor failed to diagnose a condition, you may not become aware until many months later. Make sure you know what the statute of limitations is for your claim is.
