- Diagnostic errors: Misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis or failure to diagnose a condition, leading to lack of proper treatment.
- Surgical errors: Operating on the wrong site, leaving surgical instruments inside the body or damaging organs.

What Are The Standards For Proving Medical Malpractice?
Not every negative medical result is an indicator of malpractice. Proving medical malpractice involves meeting specific legal standards. You must show:
- A duty of care: Establishing that the plaintiff owed a duty of care to the patient.
- Breach of standard of care: Showing that the plaintiff breached the duty of care by acting negligently.
- Causation of injury: Demonstrating that this breach directly caused the patient’s injury.
- Compensable damages: Evidence of the physical and financial damages suffered by the patient.
Expert testimonies often play a crucial role in proving these elements. We work with qualified medical professionals who can provide the necessary insights to strengthen your case. Our experience in handling medical malpractice claims ensures that we know how to meet these legal standards effectively.
