What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?
When you’re building your case for medical malpractice, you and your lawyer must prove five elements to show that the medical provider was at fault for your injuries. They are:
- A doctor-patient relationship was established.
- They owed you a duty of care.
- This duty was violated.
- Your injuries came from it.
- You’re suffering financial and non-financial damages.
From here, we can see where your doctor was negligent. Examples of their malpractice could be:
- Surgical error
- Misdiagnosis
- Delayed diagnosis
- Using a defective device
- Medication error
- Refusal to treat
These examples are just a handful of what could have happened. However, it’s important to keep in mind that having a bad experience doesn’t always constitute medical malpractice. That is part of the reason why we have another medical professional give their take on what they would have done had they been your physician.
