The basis for malpractice claims is the notion that a doctor, nurse or other healthcare provider is obligated to a patient a standard of care. This standard is the level of competence and care an appropriately prudent doctor who has similar training would apply in similar circumstances.

Damages

It is also essential to prove that the plaintiff has paid for expenses in pursuing a successful legal claim that is greater than the amount they seek in compensation.
