Medical malpractice cases are exceptionally complicated, and proving the medical professional or facility’s negligence is one of the most challenging factors. If you or someone you love has been injured by medical malpractice, you need the professional legal guidance of an experienced South Carolina medical malpractice attorney in your corner.
The Three Elements
To demonstrate that your medical malpractice claim is based on a medical professional or entity’s negligence, you need to prove the following:
- The doctor owed you a duty of care to begin with, which means that you requested that he or she be your doctor, and he or she accepted in the present situation.
- The doctor either failed to engage in the generally accepted practices that other reasonable doctors would have in similar situations, or he or she engaged in medical practices that other reasonable doctors would not have in similar situations.
- The doctor’s negligence – and not an underlying illness or other factors – was the direct cause of the damages you suffered.
