What is a certificate of merit?

 

A: Before a medical malpractice case can be filed with the court, the attorney for the plaintiff must obtain a document called a “certificate of merit”. This document is obtained by a medical expert who is willing to certify that medical negligence could have occurred under a given set of facts.
