A patient who finds an object that is foreign, for example, surgical clamps in her body following gall bladder surgery is able to bring a lawsuit against a doctor for medical malpractice. A successful claim must prove the elements of medical negligence: duty, deviation from the duty, and direct cause.
Our clients must establish a direct link between the breach of duty and the injury. This is known as the proximate reason.
Cause of Injury
A medical malpractice case can be initiated by the patient who was injured or a legal person to act on their behalf. Based on the specific circumstances, this may be the spouse of the patient, an adult child or parent, guardian ad-litem or executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased patient. In a medical negligence case the defendant is the health care provider. This could be a doctor, nurse or therapist, or any other licensed health professional.
Expert testimony is typically required in cases of malpractice. Medical experts must testify as to whether the doctor was acting in accordance with the standards of care in their specific area of expertise. They also have to testify to the harm caused by the doctor’s actions or inactions.
Accidents caused by negligence or malpractice can be severe. For example, a misdiagnosis of a medical condition could result in life-threatening consequences. Other types of injuries could include operating on the wrong body part or putting instruments inside the patient during surgery.
The patient must prove four legal elements of a malpractice claim: a duty owed to the patient by the doctor and a breach of this duty; an injury caused by the breach and the resulting damages.

Causation
The injury element, also known as causation, is one of the most important elements in medical malpractice cases. To establish causation the plaintiff must demonstrate that their injury was caused by a physician's negligence. This can be a difficult task due to a variety reasons.
For instance, many of the injuries that are the basis of a medical malpractice lawsuit are the result of long-term or ongoing illnesses that were in the process of being treated prior to.

Negligence
The plaintiff must convince the jury when bringing a claim for medical malpractice, that it is more likely that the doctor did not fulfill his or her duties as a physician and that those violations caused injury. The lawyer for the plaintiff must prove this using evidence gathered through pretrial discovery, which includes seeking disclosure of documents, which includes medical records from all parties involved in the lawsuit. Depositions, where statements are made under oath and recorded to be used at trial, are also part of this process.
A doctor has breached their professional obligation when they did something that reasonable and prudent doctors would not have done under the same circumstances. However, it must be proven that the breach directly caused the injury to the patient. This is referred to as causation, or causal proximate causes. For example an individual goes to the hospital for a hernia procedure and then has his or his gall bladder removed instead.
