The appropriate way of approaching civil claims caused entirely by medical malpractice is by arising a compensation claim for damages and a compensation for the damage suffered. The lawsuit should be approached in a court, or in another place, depending on where the medical establishment is placed, where the patient was treated. 

The received medical negligence claims for the patients suffered damage should cover expenses arising from the need to treat the consequences caused by medical error. For example the cost of medication, treatment, rehabilitation and lost wages that in the event of injury or harm to health, cover all damages resulting from the costs. All expenses guaranteed by the compensation must be adequate in relation to the consequences of an error committed by the doctor. In addition to the specific damages, the court may also award monetary compensation for non-pecuniary harm, such as caused pain, suffering, humiliation, or perhaps other physical and mental suffering.

It should be noted that the injured patient can claim the compensation on his/her behalf. This claim is entitled in the event of a total or partial loss of earning capacity, or if the injured patient is a subject to reduced working capabilities in future.
