4 Elements Required to Prove Medical Malpractice

To win a medical malpractice case, you must prove four elements: (1) Duty — the healthcare provider owed you a duty of care; (2) Breach — they deviated from the accepted standard of care; (3) Causation — that breach directly caused your injury; (4) Damages — you suffered measurable harm as a result.

The hardest element to prove is causation — you need a medical expert to testify that the provider's negligence, not your underlying condition, caused the injury..
