When a medical malpractice attorney takes a case, they are responsible for proving that the hospital or medical professional that was providing the client care was negligent in the care they provided. Winnebago medical malpractice lawyers are responsible for proving medical negligence. That’s why having an experienced trial attorney focusing on medical malpractice is important. This is not an area of the law where someone who only takes these types of cases once in a while will be successful.
Winnebago medical malpractice lawyers must first prove that the medical professional had a duty of care. This means establishing that their clients were patients of the hospital or the doctor that is being discussed. This also means that the hospital or doctor had the responsibility to provide care that was consistent with established medical standards.
Next, the attorney needs to prove that there was a breach of that duty. This includes showing that the medical professional who was treating their client did not provide the level of care that was expected or required in that case. The next step is showing causation. This means showing that the breach of duty is what led to the individual being injured. Finally, it must be shown that the injury has led to significant damage to the lawyer’s client. This can include increased cost of medical care, loss of income, pain and suffering, or additional injuries.
