Malpractice Claim Settlement Release
A Malpractice Claim Settlement Release is a legal document used to resolve a medical malpractice claim between a patient (or their representative) and a healthcare provider or institution. This document outlines the terms of the settlement, including:
1. Parties involved
2. Description of the incident
3. Settlement amount
4. Release of liability
5. Confidentiality agreement (if applicable)
By signing this document, the patient agrees to accept the settlement and waive their right to pursue further legal action related to the incident. It’s crucial for both parties to review the document carefully, ideally with legal counsel, before signing. This release helps healthcare providers resolve claims while protecting themselves from future litigation.
