Medical Malpractice Lawsuits

Doctors and medical professionals take an oath that they will use their expertise and knowledge to treat patients, not to cause further harm. The legal right of a patient to receive compensation for injuries resulting from medical malpractice hinges on the concept of the duty of care. Your attorney can determine if the actions of your doctor breached the duty of care and if the breach resulted in your injury or illness.

This relationship can be established by eyewitness testimony, doctor-patient documents and expert testimony from doctors who have similar education, experience, and training.
Your lawyer will also need to establish that the medical professional breached their duty of care by not adhering to the accepted standards of their field. This is often referred to as negligence, and your attorney will examine the defendant's actions with what a reasonable person would do in the same circumstance.

Your attorney will use evidence including your doctor's or patient records, witness testimony and expert testimony, to prove that the defendant's failure to meet the standard of care was the sole cause of your injury or loss to you.

State and federal laws, along with policies of the institute, help define what doctors are required to do for certain types of patients.
To win a malpractice case it must be proven that the doctor violated his or their duty of care, and that the breach was a direct cause of an injury. This is referred to in legal terms as the causation factor and it is crucial to establish. For instance, if a broken arm requires an x-ray the doctor has to properly place the arm and put it in a cast for proper healing. If the doctor failed to complete the procedure and the patient was left with an unavoidable loss of function of that arm, then malpractice law firm may have occurred.
Causation

In the event that it is not, the plaintiff's claim for malpractice malpractice will be denied. This makes bringing legal malpractice claims difficult. It is essential to choose an experienced attorney.
Damages

In the case of a lawsuit this has to be proved with evidence, like expert testimony or correspondence between the attorney and client. In addition, the plaintiff must prove that a reasonable lawyer could have avoided the harm that was caused by the negligence of the attorney. This is referred to as proximate cause.
