Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Utah?
In Utah you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. If you did not discover the injury right away you have one year from the date of discovery but no more than four years from the date of the incident. It is important to act quickly because missing the deadline can bar your claim.
What types of cases do medical malpractice lawyers handle in West Valley City?
These lawyers handle cases involving surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and failure to obtain informed consent. They also handle cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care and causes harm to the patient.
Do I need an expert witness for a medical malpractice case in Utah?
Yes Utah law requires that you submit a certificate of merit from a qualified expert witness before filing a lawsuit. The expert must be a healthcare provider in the same field as the defendant and must confirm that the care provided was below the standard of care.
