How to determine if a doctor committed medical malpractice?

In order to identify if you have a good case, a qualified Miami medical malpractice lawyer will walk you through the following five areas of qualification that need to have happened.

#1 An Established Patient-Doctor Relationship
In order to file a lawsuit, there must be a patient-doctor relationship.  If you sought advice from a non-treating physician or relied on something a doctor said in passing within a casual environment, then you may not have grounds to pursue a medical malpractice lawsuit. 

#2 The Doctor was Negligent
If a doctor falls below the standard of care, then the doctor may have committed medical malpractice.   The standard of care is based upon how a similarly qualified doctor would have acted in the same circumstances.  The doctor is not required to perform at a high level.  They are supposed to act in a reasonably skillful and careful manner.

#3 The Medical Negligence Resulted in an Injury
The direct cause of the injury must be the result of the medical malpractice of the doctor.  This means that the injury would have only occurred because the doctor was negligent.

#4 The Medical Malpractice Led to Damages
You are basically trying to prove that the negligence that caused the injury lead to damages.  Some of the most common damages in medical malpractice cases are physical pain / suffering, mental distress, disability, past / future medical bills, and lost income / earning potential.

#5 Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice Has Not Expired
If you believe that you have been a victim of medical malpractice, then it is important that you act quickly and call our offices today.  There are time frames associated with how many years a suit can be filed after the medical malpractice occurred.
