Medical Negligence Documentation and Legal Support Service
The Opportunity
The article reveals families lack structured support when facing alleged medical negligence in government hospitals. Families struggle to document evidence, navigate complaints, seek compensation, and secure legal representation—creating delays and emotional burden during crisis situations.
Market Size
₹850–1,200 crore estimated Indian medical litigation support market. India sees ~15,000–20,000 medical negligence cases annually; only 8–12% receive adequate legal counsel due to cost barriers and information gaps.

Tiered subscription plans: ₹5,000–15,000 per case documentation package (volume: 500–1,000 cases/year = ₹25–150 lakh)Referral commissions from partner lawyers (12–15% of case value; average ₹3–8 lakh per case = ₹60–120 lakh annually)Premium white-glove service (₹50,000–100,000 per case with hospital negotiation support = ₹20–40 lakh)
