My daughter underwent LASIK surgery, and unfortunately, lost her vision afterwards. The doctor only showed us the fine print mentioning possible vision loss after the surgery, which wasn’t explained beforehand. Now, she struggles with her vision, her retina is damaged, and I want to pursue a medical negligence case against this doctor. My main goal is to prevent them from harming others and putting lives at risk, not just seeking financial compensation. How should I proceed with this case?

You can file a medical negligence case against the doctor, alleging lack of informed consent as they failed to adequately explain the risks of vision loss before the surgery. You should consult a legal professional specializing in medical negligence to gather evidence, build your case, and explore legal options like filing a complaint with the Medical Council of India and seeking compensation for your daughter’s suffering.

My 3-month-old son underwent circumcision on June 11th by an MBBS MS surgeon. He used a surgical procedure and applied 7-8 stitches, but didn’t inform us about them before or after. We only found out two days later from the nurse. When we asked the doctor why he hadn’t explained this, he said, “This is a surgical procedure, not a simple barber’s cut. Stitches are necessary and they’ll dissolve on their own.” Can I take legal action against the doctor and how should I proceed?

My father’s name, along with other family members, appears in the ‘other rights’ section of the 7/12 document. My father has passed away. The land consists of five survey numbers and was acquired by the government for a dam construction project many years ago. I have a few questions:1.
