What must be proved in medical malpractice cases?
Three basic elements must be proven in a medical malpractice case against a health care professional. First you must show established standards of medical practice were not followed. Next, negligence or wrongdoing that resulted in the patient’s injury or suffering must be proved. Lastly, damages caused by the medical malpractice must be shown. Lack of adequate proof of any one of the three elements will result in failure of your case.
