Evaluating Whether Your Family Doctor Committed Malpractice Under New Jersey Law

Although any doctor is capable of committing malpractice—or medical negligence—not every negative medical result is actually malpractice.  Sometimes there is very little that even a highly trained doctor can do, even when exercising the highest degree of skill possible. To prove that a bad outcome was malpractice, it is necessary to establish:

Family doctors usually receive the same medical training as specialists—up to a point.  It is the duty of a family doctor to recognize a wide range of symptoms and refer patients to the appropriate specialists when necessary.  Failure to competently execute these duties can give rise to a claim for family doctor malpractice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Family Doctor Malpractice Claims in New Jersey

FAQ: How long do I have to file a lawsuit based on family doctor malpractice? What is a statute of limitations?

The statute of limitations is the time period that you have to file a lawsuit. In New Jersey, you have two years from the date the harm was inflicted to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, in some cases where the harm was not immediately obvious to you, you have two years from (1) the date you discovered the family doctor malpractice took place or (2) the date you reasonably should have discovered that medical malpractice caused the harm.

FAQ: How does a lawyer establish that I was the victim of family doctor malpractice and not a bad outcome?

We begin every case by evaluating your medical records and speaking to medical experts. These medical experts can provide evidence about how a reasonable doctor would have reacted to your symptoms—and compare that standard to how your family doctor reacted. Medical malpractice cases require that we prove the elements of malpractice by a preponderance of the evidence. This means that we must show that it was more likely than not that your doctor’s actions amounted to malpractice.
