Medical Expert Report

The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its various judgments has opined that an expert report is needed in the case of medical negligence. But in the case of V K Krishna Rao vs Nikhil Superspeciality Hospital, the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India had opined and clarified that doubts in cases related to medical negligence can be decided by the District Consumer Commission, State Consumer Commissions as well as NCDRC, or any court of law if a medical expert report in such cases is not available and that too without obtaining it.
