Holding Negligent Healthcare Providers Accountable
Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or healthcare facility fails to follow the standard level of care, leading to avoidable injury. These errors can cause serious, lasting harm, ranging from significant physical injuries and emotional trauma to permanent disability or even loss of life.
Our legal team has the necessary expertise to investigate medical negligence and fight for your right to compensation.
Attorney Allen Browning brings decades of experience representing clients in complex personal injury cases—including medical malpractice claims, product liability, car accidents, and more. We fight to protect the health and future of injured patients across Idaho Falls and beyond.
What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice isn’t just about things going wrong, it’s about patients being let down by the very people they trust to protect their health. It happens when the care you receive falls far below what’s acceptable and causes real harm. Some of the most common forms of malpractice we see include:
- Serious mistakes during surgery or with anesthesia
- Injuries to a baby or mother during birth, often due to poor prenatal care
- Prescribing the wrong medication or dosage
- Failing to keep a close eye on a patient’s condition
- Allowing infections to spread because of poor hygiene
- Delays in treatment or not fully explaining the risks before a procedure
- Doctors missing a diagnosis or getting it wrong altogether
These forms of negligence can cause pain and suffering, lost income, high medical bills, and life-altering consequences. If you believe a provider’s actions, or lack of action, led to your injuries, it’s time to speak with a medical malpractice attorney.
Do You Have a Medical Malpractice Case?
Generally speaking, to pursue a valid medical malpractice case in Idaho, four key elements must be proven:
- A doctor-patient relationship existed
- The provider was negligent and breached the accepted standard of care
- The negligence directly caused your injury
- You suffered measurable damages, such as medical costs, lost wages, or pain and suffering
Figuring out who’s responsible in a medical malpractice case isn’t always simple. It closely examines the whole picture, your medical records, what your doctors did (or didn’t do), and insight from trusted medical experts. At Browning Law, we dig into the details to discover what happened and build a strong case to help you move forward.

Medical Malpractice Deadlines in Idaho
Time is not on your side when filing a malpractice claim. Idaho has strict statutes of limitations, and it is essential to consult with a medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible to understand the specific deadlines that apply to your case. Some exceptions may apply, especially in cases involving minors or injuries discovered after the fact, but the sooner you begin, the better your chances of recovering full compensation.
If you’re thinking about filing a medical malpractice claim in Idaho, you’ll typically have a generous two years from the date of your injury or its discovery. While this timeline is standard, specific exceptions could change this, so staying informed is key!

FAQ: Medical Malpractice in Idaho
What to Do If You Suspect Medical Malpractice
If you think something went wrong with your medical care, knowing what to do next can be overwhelming. Start by getting a second opinion from another doctor; it can give you clarity and peace of mind. Make notes about what happened and how you’re feeling, and keep copies of any medical records you can get. It’s also a good idea to keep things private and only discuss your situation with your attorney. Don’t wait too long, talking to a medical malpractice lawyer early on can help you understand your options and protect your rights. We’re here to walk you through it, one step at a time.
What four things must be proven to win a medical malpractice suit?
To win a medical malpractice case, you must prove: (1) a doctor-patient relationship existed, (2) The provider was negligent and did not meet the required standard of care. (3) that negligence caused your injuries, and (4) you suffered measurable damages, economic or non-economic.

While outcomes vary, the odds improve significantly with experienced legal representation.

Working with experienced personal injury attorneys improves your chances of success.
How hard is it to prove medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice cases can be complex and require expert testimony to prove negligence. Proving causation (that the provider’s action directly caused harm) is often the most challenging part. That’s why having a skilled legal team is crucial.
How much are most medical malpractice settlements?
There’s no average number, as each case is unique. Settlements can range from thousands to millions of dollars depending on factors like the severity of the injury, lost income, medical expenses, emotional distress, and future care needs.
