A medical expert witness determines the standard of medical care in the courtroom. They examine the medical records to determine what a reputable doctor in the same field would have done under similar circumstances.

The injured patient is then required to demonstrate that the breach of duty committed by the healthcare professional directly contributed to their losses. This could include scarring, injuries, and pain. They can also include medical costs as well as lost wages and other financial losses.

Some states require that the parties to a medical malpractice lawsuit submit their claims to an independent screening panel or arbitration that is voluntary and binding as an alternative to an investigation.
Causation
