Steps involved in registration of apostille: The first step to be taken in case of medical negligence is to file a proper complaint to the State Medical Council against the concerned doctor, practitioner or authority. The victim may file a complaint via the consumer court or a criminal court a per the nature of the negligence. Required Documents • Cases must be built on evidence, so it's important that the person making the claim can prove what happened to them was a mistake and that they suffered injury or harm as a result of that mistake.
