Medical malpractice claims often turn more complicated than other types of personal injury claims. Doctors have a high duty of care to their patients, and when they violate it, they can face liability for the damages suffered by the patient. However, determining negligence in The Bronx medical malpractice cases can prove complex as you work with your dedicated lawyer to identify how your care provider deviated from the standard of care and what care you should have expected.
Negligence medical malpractice cases in The Bronx can take several forms, including:
Clearly identifying the type of negligence the care provider engaged in can make it easier for the injured person to recover compensation for their losses.
In order to show negligence in medical malpractice cases, our Bronx lawyers will work with a medical expert, often an expert in the same field or practice as the negligent care provider, to show what negligence occurred and how it impacted the injured person.
A medical expert can testify about the specific standard of care for a given situation. For example, in a failure to diagnose case, they might show how the patient’s symptoms clearly reflected a specific type of illness or injury and why the care provider should have seen it. The standard of care can also include the actions a care provider should have taken in diagnosing a particular condition or the way the care provider should have handled treatment.
Medical malpractice cases are complicated because of the specialized nature of many treatments and medical needs. A medical expert can explain how the negligent care provider deviated from the standard of care and how their actions compare to the ones they should have taken. By clearly explaining the deviation from the standard of care, a medical expert can show how the negligent care provider caused injury to the patient.
In addition to laying out the standard of care and how the medical care provider deviated from it, a medical expert may explain how the specific losses and injuries suffered by the patient occurred based on the type of malpractice. Causation is a key element of many medical malpractice claims: in order to claim compensation, the injured patient must show that the care provider’s actions or lack of action caused or contributed to their damages.
If a care provider negligently treated you, whether that involved a severe surgical error or a failure to diagnose, you need an attorney on your side. A lawyer can help you recover compensation for the damages you sustained, including your increased medical expenses, your lost wages, and your pain and suffering. Determining negligence in the Bronx medical malpractice cases is key to ensuring that you can hold the negligent care provider liable for their actions.
