Do You Have a Medical Malpractice Case?

The four main elements of a successful medical malpractice case are:

  • Duty – You must prove that the medical professional (the treating doctor, hospital, or other medical professional) owed you a duty of care. This is usually the easiest element to establish, since all you need to show is a doctor/patient relationship between the medical professional and you.
  • Breach of Duty – You must prove that the medical care you received fell below the requisite standard of care. Sometimes, this is easy to establish (e.g. if a surgeon left an instrument inside your body). However, most claims require extensive research and consultation with experienced medical professionals to determine the standard of care applicable to your case.
  • Injury and Damages – You must prove that you have suffered an injury or illness.   Generally speaking, the injury or illness must be serious and permanent in order to justify the great expense of investigating and prosecuting a medical malpractice claim. مواقع لربح المال
  • Causation – This is often the most difficult and complicated element to prove. You must prove that the injury and damages were proximately caused by the alleged malpractice. كيفية اللعب في bet365 In other words, you need to separate the normal risks and potential complications of the underlying medical condition or procedure from what was caused or made worse by the malpractice.  If it is likely that the injury and damages still would have occurred without the malpractice, then you may not have a viable medical malpractice case.
