Utah Medical Malpractice Lawyers
When healthcare providers fail their duty of care, we hold them accountable.
Quick Answer
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury to the patient. In Utah, you must file a notice of intent with the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) before filing a lawsuit, and cases must be supported by expert medical testimony.
Types of Medical Malpractice
LawyerUp handles all forms of medical negligence: surgical errors and wrong-site surgery, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, medication errors, birth injuries (cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy), anesthesia errors, hospital-acquired infections, failure to obtain informed consent, and emergency room negligence.
Utah Medical Malpractice Requirements
Utah has specific requirements for medical malpractice claims: a pre-litigation panel review through DOPL is required before filing suit, expert medical testimony must establish the standard of care was breached, the statute of limitations is 2 years from the date of injury (or discovery), and a cap on non-economic damages may apply. These requirements make medical malpractice cases complex — which is why you need an experienced attorney.
