Notice of Intent to Sue

A person injured because of a doctor or nurse’s mistakes may be eligible to file a medical malpractice lawsuit against the responsible caregiver. Before proceeding with a case, a patient may be obligated to submit a Notice of Intent to Sue to the parties that may be associated with the legal action. In order to avoid inadvertently compromising the integrity of your case, it is strongly advisable that this notice should be sent under the careful advisement of an attorney.

If you have been harmed due to a doctor or a nurse’s mistakes, you may be entitled to pursue financial compensation for those injuries. For more information regarding your legal options as a patient looking for help, contact the New Jersey medical malpractice lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., by calling 800-346-5529.

Steps to Take before Filing a Claim

Forewarning can help a case begin before a person has even officially filed their claim. Filing a Notice of Intent to Sue is likely to prompt a thorough investigation of the matter in question and could lead to the offer of a settlement before a lawsuit has formally begun.

The following are important things to consider with regard to a Notice of Intent to Sue:

  • All warnings should be in writing
  • Anyone potentially at-fault should be given notification
  • The notification should include very basic information about the incident
  • The notification should not disclose anything about the injury or allegations of fault
