Understanding Medical Malpractice Cases

It’s important to understand that a poor outcome from a medical procedure does not necessarily constitute malpractice. In order to win a medical malpractice case, you must establish liability—that someone was legally responsible for your injuries or the death of a loved one due to negligence. Establishing liability in medical malpractice cases can be challenging.

Proving Medical Malpractice Claims

The first step in establishing liability is determining if the standard of care was followed. This typically requires the testimony of an expert. Next, negligence must be established. Negligence can come in many forms including:

• Misdiagnosis
• Failure to diagnose
• Surgical errors
• Anesthesia errors
• Medication errors
• Lack of informed consent
• Failure to treat properly
• Birth Injuries

Finally, you must establish that the negligence caused the injuries or death in question.
