Understanding Your Rights and the Actions You Can Take
Medical errors range in severity and can be a mix-up with medications or even having the wrong surgical procedure done. Regardless of how significant your injury or harm may be, if a health care professional failed to provide you with the treatment they were required to, you need to speak up and exercise your rights.
There are a few things you can do on your part aside from hiring one of our trusted North Dakota medical malpractice lawyers. For instance, you can file a complaint with the North Dakota Board of Medicine. Anyone in the medical field including a physician, a physician assistant, or even a fluoroscopy technician can be held accountable for their wrongdoing if they acted negligent or careless and made a mistake.
There are a few ways you can file your complaint to make it known that a serious issue has occurred. You can do so using the online form the Board provides or by printing out and sending in their PDF version of the form. It can then be mailed to:
North Dakota Board of Medicine
418 East Broadway Avenue, Suite 12
Bismarck, ND 58501
The investigation that is expected to be conducted is going to be kept confidential, of course it will become public record in the event a medical malpractice lawsuit is filed, but you will not be recognized for filing the complaint otherwise.
