Proving medical negligence involves establishing several elements. Although the standards of proof differ by jurisdiction, the following areas are generally addressed in medical malpractice cases:

• Duty of care: The duty of care is the accepted standard within the medical sector. Generally speaking, it includes the level of care a reasonably competent provider in the same field would offer the patient in similar circumstances.
• Breach of duty: Once the duty of care is established, the next step is to prove that the healthcare professional has deviated from the accepted standard. Expert testimony is crucial, as other medical professionals must testify about the level of care.
• Causation: Causation involves establishing the direct connection between the healthcare provider’s actions and the injury. Expert testimony may also be required to link the breach of duty to the harm.
• Damages: Proving damages includes demonstrating tangible suffering, often via medical expenses or lost wages.
• Proximate cause: Proximate cause includes showing that the patient’s injury was a foreseeable and preventable consequence of the healthcare professional’s actions.
