No matter what type of injury you sustained during the course of the malpractice, if you were harmed as a result of the negligent care, you should speak with an experienced malpractice attorney to explore and discuss your legal options for recovering compensation for the damages you suffered. 

Establishing Liability In A Malpractice Claim

If you believe that you or a loved one are the victims of malpractice or negligence, you will need to establish that the doctor or other medical or healthcare professional is liable for your injuries. In order to do that, your attorney or legal team must show the following:

  • The standard of care that is required will depend on the type of procedure and the expertise of the professional performing the procedure. 
  • The standard or duty of care must have been breached by providing care below the standard.
  • The substandard care or negligent act of the medical professional must have caused injury to the patient.
  • The patient that suffered the injury must show damages sustained, including medical bills, lost wages and future earnings, pain, and suffering.
