How Do You Prove Negligence in a Medical Malpractice Case?
To prove negligence in a medical malpractice claim, there are four elements you must demonstrate as accurate within the legal system. The items you must prove are the following:
- Someone owed you a duty of care
- This duty of care was breached
- This breach resulted in injuries or other negative consequences to your health
- You have faced economic damages due to these negative consequences
Some of these elements require collecting evidence and additional legal information about the other parties involved in your case. We encourage you to work with a qualified medical malpractice lawyer for assistance in your claim.
