When filling a Government Claim form against a government-run hospital (example, UCLA Medical Center) for Medical Malpractice, can the dollar amount sought, be stated in the claim form? ..(I ask, because in Government Claim forms filed against the Court Personnel, the dollar amount cannot be stated, for some reason(s), per their internal codes/case law(s)).
Answer
Forms tend to vary from entity to entity, but most allow a statement of the amount being claimed which is then subject to interpretation as a "maximum" potential recovery.
