Not All Bad Outcomes Are Medical Malpractice Lawsuits

A compensable medical malpractice injury meets two qualifications:

• The injury was caused by a breach in the standard of care that should reasonably have been followed by a medical professional.
• The breach of the standard of care caused the damages complained of.

Prior to filing a medical malpractice lawsuit, an expert in the field must sign an affidavit of expert review stating that there was a deviation from the accepted standard of care and that the injuries were the result of the deviation from the standard of care.
