What Constitutes Medical Malpractice In Central Kentucky?
Medical malpractice arises when health care providers deviate from applicable medical standards, leaving patients injured or with conditions that have unnecessarily worsened. To establish malpractice, it has to be shown that:
- A doctor-patient relationship existed
- The provider breached the standard of care expected of similarly qualified professionals in similar circumstances
- This breach directly caused the injury
- The patient suffered measurable damages, including physical harm, additional medical expenses or lost income.
It is important to understand that applicable standards of care can change according to a doctor’s level of expertise, resources and location. Seeking an evaluation of your situation by an experienced attorney is the best way to learn if you have a case.
