3 Primary Factors Of A Medical Malpractice Claim
2
  • Everyone heard stories of a man or a woman who
    was misdiagnosed and received permanent injuries
    (or developed a life-changing/threatening
    condition as a result). This is a common cause of
    medical malpractice. Every year, hundreds of
    people are injured as a result of medical
    malpractice. These individuals have the right to
    seek compensation, but only if they are able to
    prove that they suffered injuries and further
    discomfort as a result of medical malpractice.

  • There Are Several Factors That Can Influence
    Ones Claim And Determine Its Success

Negligence
In order to file a medical malpractice claim,
one has to be able to prove that the medical
professional acted in a way that led to an
injury. Just being injured is not enough. The
entire negative outcome must be a result of the
action of a medical professional. If you are able
to prove negligence, you will have a case in
hand. However, do not expect it to be easy. You
will require an experienced medical malpractice
attorney to help you investigate the case and
determine negligence. If you have no attorney in
mind, be sure to contact the Charlotte medical
malpractice attorney and schedule your free
consultation.
5
Standard of Care
Another important factor that has to be
determined is a standard of care. Basically,
every medical professional has a duty of care
towards each of the patients. Once a patient gets
injured, they have to prove that there was a
breach in the duty of care in other words, the
plaintiff (the one filing a claim) has to prove
that the defendant (medical professional) made a
mistake, or made a bad call that affected a
plaintiffs life and caused him/her pain or
injuries.
6
Injury With Consequences
Consequences as a result of medical
malpractice need to exist in order for the claim
to be successful. In order to file a successful
medical malpractice claim, you have to be able to
prove that, as a result of improper care, you
have suffered serious life-changing consequences.
There can be anything of the following
Disfigurement
Disability
Birth defects
Infertility
Chronic pain
Loss of consortium
Increased medical expenses

  • The Consequences Of Medical Malpractice Usually
    Encompass Many Damages Including

Disability

Every year, there are between 15 and 20
thousand medical malpractice claims. Not all end
in favor of a plaintiff simply because one of
these factors was missing or was not determined
or proven. That is why you require an experienced
attorney to help you prove these factors, and
help you file a strong claim.
In order for a case to be successful and
existing, all of these factors have to be
present. If any of them is missing, there may not
be a case.
