Malpractice Claim Proof

The amount awarded will be argued for from the viewpoint of expenses the injured party has incurred in seeking treatment and what they have lost in terms of money they could have continued making or gone on to make if they had obtained or were in the process of obtaining credentials.

To prove a medical malpractice claim, the patient must prove the health care provider did not comply with an acceptable and reasonable standard of medical care in their specialty, and that this failure was the cause of the patient's harm.

In some situations, you may not know you were injured until much later. A common example is the medical malpractice case where a surgical instrument is left inside the patient after surgery. You aren't expected to know about this type of injury until you start experiencing symptoms or until you are diagnosed. So in these situations, the two years may not begin until you know (or should have known) about the injury. There is an outside deadline of four years in most medical malpractice cases, meaning that even if you didn't know about the malpractice you still may run out of time to sue.
