Proving Medical Malpractice: A Complex Challenge
Medical malpractice cases have a heavy burden of proof — and, in jurisdictions across the U.S., this challenge has increased substantially in recent years. Obtaining financial redress almost always requires the testimony of qualified medical professionals, to demonstrate both that:
- The accepted, applicable standard of care was violated or "breached"
- A different action, or avoiding whatever error may have occurred, would have resulted in a different outcome
