Basic Requirements For A Medical Malpractice Claim

A medical malpractice claim must have certain elements in place in order to be pursued. Attorney Bryan Caulfield can thoroughly investigate the details surrounding your injury and build a solid case for your compensation. With his background as a personal injury lawyer, he is more than prepared to navigate even the most complex claims.

• Generally speaking, a medical malpractice claim must have the following in place:
• Proof of a doctor-patient relationship: This means you formally hired the doctor, and didn’t just overhear a physician’s advice in an informal setting.
• Proof of physician negligence: This goes beyond patient dissatisfaction. The physician must have deviated from standards of care in order to prove negligent.
• Proof of injury caused by negligence: It must be proved that the patient was injured due to the medical negligence and not due to a pre-existing condition.
• Proof that injury led to specific damage: The injury must have elicited physical pain, mental pain, further medical bills, and/or lost wages to be eligible for compensation.

Common types of medical malpractice include a failure to diagnose properly, improper treatment, and failure to warn a patient of risk. In most states, claims of medical malpractice must be addressed fairly quickly. In Florida, this statute of limitations is two years.
