How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Medical Malpractice Case?

Knowing whether you have a valid medical malpractice case requires answering a number of questions, the first of which did the doctor or the nurse or the hospital meet what we call the standard of care. In other words, were they negligent in the manner in which they cared for you?

Secondly, you have to have some sort of damages or injuries that resulted from that medical care.

And third, and perhaps most importantly, you need to be able to link those two together with what we call cause.

So in other words, you have to prove that your damages were caused by the doctor or nurses or hospital’s negligent actions, and that can sometimes be the most difficult part of any medical malpractice case.

In order to answer that question fully, it’s really important that you talk with an experienced medical malpractice lawyer like the lawyers of Olsen Personal Injury Lawyers. We’re always happy to listen and talk to you about your case to let you know what you have and what you don’t.
