Healthcare professionals and facilities are expected to comply with high standards of care to protect their patients from harm.

Proving Medical Negligence in Montgomery, IL

Unsuccessful treatment is not necessarily grounds for a medical malpractice claim. To demonstrate that medical malpractice occurred, you need evidence to prove that:

• The provider owed you a duty of care to meet mandated healthcare standards: They accepted this duty when they took you as a patient.
• The provider breached those standards of care: This means that they did not take the same actions that another healthcare professional with similar qualifications would have taken in the same situation.
• The breach of care caused your injury, illness, or harm: The provider's failure to take the appropriate actions when providing treatment directly harmed you.
• You suffered damages as a direct result of the harm done: You suffered physically, financially, or emotionally because of the provider's negligence.

Only one provider is negligent in some cases, but multiple parties may be liable in others. For instance, hospital patients who suffer harm may address negligence by a physician, nursing staff, and the facility. An investigation is required to determine why and how your injury happened. Our team can take steps to uncover all relevant evidence and details about how you have been affected by medical negligence, identifying the at-fault parties and ensuring that you can recover compensation.
