If your physician didn’t take the necessary steps to accurately and timely diagnose your medical condition and your health worsened as a result, there’s a strong chance you’ll have a valid medical malpractice claim.
To win a medical malpractice claim, you’ll need to prove several things. To start, you’ll have to prove the medical professional owed you a duty of care. You’ll also have to prove the medical professional breached the duty of care by taking an action/inaction that another competent physician would not have. Finally, you’ll need to prove that the breach of care directly caused the harm you sustained and that you incurred damages as a result.
