Medical
malpractice lawsuits stem from medical negligence that has caused harms and
losses to the patient. Virginia laws
dictate whether or not the patient has a viable claim. To have a viable medical malpractice case,
the Plaintiff must establish the standard of care on the part of the healthcare
provider. The Plaintiff must then prove
the breaches of each standard of care.
The Plaintiff must also prove that his or her damages were proximately
caused by the healthcare provider’s negligence and the breaches of the standard
of care. And finally, the Plaintiff must
be able to prove and substantiate the harms and losses that resulted from the
negligence. There is a statute of
limitations associated with medical negligence cases, which determines the time
that a Plaintiff has to either settle a medical negligence case or to file a
lawsuit. These are complicated matters, and that it why it is important for you
to seek the advice of an attorney if you believe that you have been harmed by
medical negligence. Bettina C. Altizer
