How Do I Know if I Have a Valid Medical Malpractice Case?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional injures you through negligence. When a doctor takes you on as a patient, you expect him or her to do everything possible to treat your ailments and accurately diagnose you.
If you are misdiagnosed or injured in a way that affects your health, you have the right to hold the negligent doctor or other healthcare professional accountable. For a medical provider to be deemed negligent, the following elements must be present:
- A Violation of the Standard of Care – When a doctor is not acting within the parameters of care determined to be reasonable, negligence could be established.
- An Injury Because of a Doctor’s Negligent Actions – It’s not enough for a doctor to simply make a mistake; the doctor’s mistakes must have caused you harm.
- Your Injury Caused Significant, Measurable Losses – The injuries your doctor caused resulted in damages or losses for you.
A qualified Riviera Beach medical malpractice claim lawyer can help you determine whether you have a valid case.
