A medical malpractice claim can be filed if a healthcare professional is negligent or has acted in a manner that is illegal, made an error, or failed to take action. Plaintiffs seeking compensation for injuries can file for financial losses, such as past or future medical expenses as well as non-monetary damages, like discomfort and pain.
Complaint
A medical malpractice suit has many moving parts and requires a solid evidence to succeed. The injured patient (or their attorney if they've lost their claim) must demonstrate each of the following legal aspects of the claim:
A hospital or doctor had a responsibility to act according to the applicable standard of care. The defendant erred in his duty. That the breach directly caused injury to the plaintiff. This element of a malpractice claim is known as "causation." A breach of the standard of care doesn't cause injury; it must be proven that the breach directly caused the injury and was the main cause of the injury.
