Why You Need a Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Beckley
The success of a medical negligence claim depends on an attorney’s ability to convey complex medical matters in a tangible, simple way.
For example, medical negligence is subjective;
- The alleged negligent act will be compared to similar medical scenarios
- If most doctors would respond the same way with the same data available, there may not be a finding of negligence
- However, if the doctor acted in a way that deviated from how other doctors would act in the same situation, a case for negligence can be made
What is considered normal and standard practice for medical professionals can be challenging to determine. A Beckley medical malpractice attorney will need to prove the following;
- A professional duty of care was owed to the patient
- The treating professionals violated this duty of care
- The patient suffered injuries as a direct result of neglect
- A detailed description of damages, including economic and non-economic losses
