What Does Medical Malpractice Actually Mean?

Frank DiScipio here from Duffy and Duffy. Today, I'm going to answer a question I hear often from clients: What does medical malpractice actually mean? There are four key elements to proving medical malpractice. First, duty of care. The healthcare professional had a duty to provide you with a certain standard of care. Second, breach of that duty. The healthcare professional breached that duty by failing to meet the accepted standard of care. Third, causation. The healthcare professional's breach of that duty caused your injury. Fourthly, damages. You suffered damages as a result of your injury. If you believe you may have been the victim of medical malpractice, it's important to consult with an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
