Do I Have Grounds to File a Lawsuit?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider or facility fails to uphold the accepted standard of care, resulting in patient harm. In other words, medical malpractice is a type of negligence that occurs in the healthcare setting. When a healthcare provider or facility is negligent, they can be held liable for the victim’s resulting damages.

There are four main elements of a medical malpractice claim:

  • The healthcare provider/facility owed the patient a duty of care. In other words, the patient was under the care of the provider/facility.
  • The healthcare provider/facility breached the duty of care. The provider/facility failed to uphold the accepted standard of care, meaning they did not provide the same level of care that another reasonably competent provider/facility would have provided in the same or similar circumstances.
  • The breach of the duty of care caused the patient harm. The patient suffered an injury or illness as a direct result of the provider/facility’s negligence.
  • The patient suffered damages. The patient experienced actual harm, such as additional medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and/or disability.
