Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice claim in American Fork?
Utah law generally requires you to file a medical malpractice claim within two years of discovering the injury, but no later than four years after the negligent act occurred. This is called the statute of repose. Exceptions exist for minors and cases involving foreign objects left in the body.
Do I need a certificate of merit to sue a doctor in Utah?
Yes, Utah law requires you to file a certificate of merit from a qualified medical expert before serving a malpractice lawsuit. The expert must confirm that the healthcare provider deviated from the accepted standard of care. This rule helps prevent frivolous claims.
What damages can I recover in a Utah medical malpractice case?
You can recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as noneconomic damages for pain and suffering. Utah caps noneconomic damages at $450,000 for most cases, with a higher cap of $650,000 for catastrophic injuries. Punitive damages are also limited.
