Do I need a certificate of merit to file a medical malpractice case in Connecticut?
Yes, Connecticut law requires your attorney to file a certificate of merit with the complaint. This certificate must state that a similar healthcare provider has reviewed the case and believes there is evidence of medical negligence.
What damages can I recover in a Connecticut medical malpractice case?
