- If your case is one that can be helped with, the next step is to obtain any relevant medical records
- Can it be shown that your departure from the doctor caused you an injury?
- Once it is determined that there is right and wrong to your case, a lawsuit may begin when the summons are filed in the appropriate court
- New York has a specific pleading for this legal process called the Bill of Particulars to express what was specifically done wrong
- It is important to include every wrong doing in the Bill of Particulars, and serve it on the defendant
- The process of discovery states when we are required to exchange certain information
- This entire process is about information control, and properly asking and answering questions
