Complaint: Written description of the lawsuit (e.g. in medical malpractice)
Complaint: The term "complaint" is widely used to refer generally to a legal action against a person, which is a somewhat imprecise usage of the word. Such uses of the term "complaint" might be more appropriately called the claim or lawsuit. A formal complaint is the written description of the filed lawsuit. For example, a complaint will typically name both parties (e.g. a patient and a doctor in medical malpractice), describe the incident or issues involved, describe the injury to the patient, and so on. The complaint will then be filed as a lawsuit, and may need to be served on the other party to the lawsuit.
Always seek professional legal advice from an attorney or other qualified legal professional about medical malpractice, wrongful death, personal injury, or any other legal issue.
