Proving Fault in Medical Malpractice: A Complex Challenge

Plaintiffs in medical malpractice cases have a heavy burden of proof. In jurisdictions across the United States, this challenge has increased substantially in recent years. Obtaining financial redress almost always requires the testimony of qualified medical professionals, to demonstrate that:

  • Accepted, applicable standard of care was violated or “breached”
  • Different action, or avoiding whatever error may have occurred, would have resulted in a different outcome

As a former defense lawyer, attorney Scott Sonntag can often anticipate the defense strategy opposing parties will make. His biggest leverage is working with industry-leading experts who can counter the arguments a defense team could make. All of his medical malpractice claims are prepared with enough evidence to prove fault in trial.
