Malpractice claims are based upon the belief that doctors, nurses or other healthcare providers are obligated to a patient an appropriate level of care. This standard is defined as the degree of skill and caution that a reasonably prudent medical professional who has similar training would apply in similar circumstances. Your legal team must demonstrate that your doctor violated this standard and caused you to suffer quantifiable damages.
A physician's standard of care is often an issue of opinion, and it is difficult to prove. This is why it is important to work with a legal firm that has access to expert witnesses who can provide testimony about the medical field and what an experienced professional in your doctor's position would have done.
Not only physicians can make mistakes, but so can hospital staff, such as nurses and anesthesiologists. This is especially true for emergency room staff, where mistakes are often made due to the crazed atmosphere and overworked workers. Your lawyer may be in a position to secure an expert opinion from the emergency room staff who can demonstrate what should have happened and how your doctor failed to meet this standard.

This is commonly referred to as the "but for" test. Additionally, it is important to show that the plaintiff incurred costs in pursuit of a successful legal claim which are in excess of the amount demanded as compensation.

The more serious the injury, the higher the amount of compensation. However, a ruling that is successful can sometimes be overturned when appealed. Settlements outside of court may be advantageous for some clients. It will help save time and money on costs for litigation, as well as avoiding the possibility of having a jury decide a case based on the basis of emotions instead of fact.
