Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice claim in Mississippi?
Mississippi law generally requires you to file a medical malpractice lawsuit within two years from the date of the alleged negligence. There are some exceptions for minors or cases involving foreign objects left in the body. You should speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Do I need an expert affidavit to file a medical malpractice case in Mississippi?
Yes Mississippi law requires that your attorney file a certificate of consultation or an expert affidavit with the initial complaint. This document must state that a qualified medical expert has reviewed the case and believes there is a reasonable basis for the claim. Failing to include this can result in dismissal of your case.
What damages can I recover in a Hattiesburg medical malpractice case?
You may recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages as well as noneconomic damages for pain and suffering. Mississippi caps noneconomic damages at 500,000 dollars for most medical malpractice cases. Punitive damages may also be available in cases of gross negligence.
