Frequently Asked Questions

Common Legal Questions

What Needs to Be Proved to Win a Medical Negligence Case?
A personal injury victim must prove several of the typical elements of negligence to win their medical negligence case. They must show that the medical provider owed them a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused their injuries. They must also prove they suffered damages as a result of the medical negligence. Medical negligence and malpractice cases typically require the use of medical experts to show how a provider deviated from their standard of care.
What is Medical Malpractice?
All doctors, physicians, and nurses must adhere to a professional standard of care when treating patients. This standard of care is determined by the medical community. Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional fails to provide the proper standard of care and injures a patient. Medical malpractice typically results in the worsening of an existing condition.
How Does a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Work?
Medical malpractice lawsuits usually begin with an insurance claim. Your attorney will attempt to prove your case and negotiate a settlement that covers your damages. If obtaining compensation outside of court is not an option, you can pursue a civil suit. Want to find out more? Read our full article here.
What is the Average Settlement for a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
Since medical malpractice covers such a wide variety of injuries and scenarios, there is no average settlement amount for a medical malpractice lawsuit. Furthermore, many individual factors can affect a settlement’s amount, such as the injury’s permanence and impact on your job and whether your case settles out of court. When thinking about your malpractice case, remember that it is a  personal injury with losses. Malpractice is then subcategorized into different types, each with its own area.  To learn more, please read our full article here.
