Medical Malpractice FAQs

Most medical malpractice cases center around the fact that your physician was negligent in their care and caused you additional suffering. A doctor’s negligence is typically defined by their failure to follow the medical standard of care. This refers to the behavior and expertise expected from any medical professional, including the amount of time and attention spent on a case as well as the doctor’s treatment of the given case. If your doctor fails to perform in a way that should reasonably be expected or acts outside of the norm, their behavior may have caused your injury or illness. The most common examples of this include failure to diagnose a patient’s illness, providing improper treatment, or failing to warn patients of risks of a given procedure.

In order to give your case merit, it is essential to provide evidence that indicates your doctor’s negligence. You will need to provide specific information about your treatment and time spent with the doctor that will help determine your case’s validity. First, you must demonstrate that a doctor-patient relationship existed, meaning that you hired your doctor and they agreed to treat you. Next, you will need to demonstrate that the doctor was negligent and this negligence led to an illness, injury, or another form of suffering. Often, an examination from an additional medical profession will be required in order to determine this information. Lastly, you must be able to prove that your doctor’s negligent actions have caused you physical pain, mental anguish, additional medical bills, or lost work/earning capacity.

Winning your medical malpractice case can help you and your loved ones recover from the physical and financial burden of your doctor’s negligence. However, filing a claim and building a case is a long and complex process with a multitude of essential steps. Just one mistake along the way could destroy even a valid medical malpractice lawsuit. An experienced malpractice attorney is familiar with all of the steps you must take and will ensure that your case is handled appropriately. Additionally, they will be able to help you acquire the best possible evidence to support your claim and prove that malpractice occurred. This is a difficult and high stakes process that you do not have to face alone.
