What is Negligence?
Negligence, as it relates to a medical malpractice claim, occurs when a health care professional deviates from conventional medical standards.
How is Negligence Proven?
Expert medical testimony is required to prove a medical malpractice case. In order to prove negligence, another medical professional must testify that (1) no reasonable health care provider would have acted in a manner and (2) that the deviation in the standard of care caused the injury. Reasonableness is generally determined by several factors such as knowledge, geographic location, and the state of medical practices at the time of the illness or injury.
What are Some Common Causes of Medical Malpractice?
• Misdiagnosis
• Failing to diagnose or failing to timely diagnose or treat conditions
• Prescribing incorrect or contraindicated drugs or medications
• Surgical errors

• Failing to follow-up with patients
