  2. Not every medical complication or injury is caused by negligent medical treatment, but sometimes they are and how do you know how to tell the difference? Pennsylvania County medical malpractice attorneys know that medical malpractice cases are complicated and a large number of them go unreported. Patients are often afraid to question medical professionals because they do not want to offend them or they think that they may not get a straight answer from medical professionals anyway.

  3. Another reason people do not file medical malpractice claims is that they do not know how they would discover what negligence may have taken place and how they could prove it. When medical malpractice results in death, often family members are too consumed with grief and preparing for the future without their loved one to consider taking on anything more, especially a lawsuit.

  4. Proving Medical Malpractice ❖ The first is to establish a doctor patient relationship and duty of care. ❖ Once it is established that the medical professional owed the plaintiff a duty of care, the second element is to prove that the medical professional breached his or her duty of care. ❖ Finally, it must be proven that medical negligence was the actual cause of the plaintiff’s injuries.

  5. Types Of Medical Malpractice ➢ Diagnosis ➢ Prescription ➢ Treatment ➢ Aftercare ➢ Unsanitary conditions ➢ Ignoring symptoms Medical negligence can occur in any number of ways at any phase of treatment. See below for some examples.
