Lawsuit for compensation: Incorrect medical tests
Hi,
My wife has not been feeling well for many days. She suspected pregnancy and got BetaHCG tested on 04/03/2022. The results was 0.1 which means negative.
On 15/04/2022 she got BetaHCG tested in another hospital again and found that she was 9 weeks pregnant. Even CT scan report showed 9 weeks pregnant.
This caused severe inconvenience. She travelled to Tirumala and Shirdi in between not taking care of her health. During this period, not knowing her pregnancy, her health aggravated and got more tiresome. She even consumed wine to de-stress herself.
This was gross negligence from first hospital which published incorrect medical tests. I am planning to file a complaint and a law suit for the damages.
I request the following :
1. Procedure for filing law suit seeking monetary compensation for the mental agony.
2. How much compensation can I ask?
3. What are the documents required for filing?
Kindly advise.
