When a medical malpractice attorney takes a case, they will prove that a medical professional or hospital provided negligent care. Proving medical negligence is a challenge, so working with an experienced medical malpractice attorney in Dallas is important. This is not an area where a lawyer who does medical malpractice part-time is likely to have success. There are several things that a medical malpractice attorney in Dallas will need to prove to win the case.
First, they will need to establish a duty of care. This means establishing that their client was a patient in the hospital or with the doctor and that the hospital or doctor owed them a legal duty of care. This means their care had to be in harmony with established medical standards. It also means that the hospital or medical professional treating their client was responsible for providing the same type of care that a different hospital or medical professional who is similarly qualified would have provided.
Next, they must show that there was a breach of duty. This means that the medical professional providing the care did not provide the level of care that was required. They must show there was a breach of duty that led to the injury and damages.
