3 Things to Prove in a Medical Malpractice Case
In a typical medical malpractice case, there are three elements that need to be proven.
- What Was the Standard of Care Required of the Medical Professional?
What a reasonably prudent healthcare provider would do or not do in the same or similar circumstance. - Was There a Violation of the Applicable Standard of Care?
Showing that the doctor, nurse, or medical professional did something that falls outside of what is expected of them during the medical procedure. - Did the Violation Proximately Cause Severe Injury, Harm, or Death?
This simply means that the provider’s actions (or inaction) caused the injury. In summary, whether or not these elements are met varies from case to case.
