Negligence by a professional is known as malpractice. For a malpractice claim to succeed, it must have the following characteristics:
1. Violation of professional standards
Professionals must meet certain minimum standards, often referred to as the “standard of care.” To prove malpractice it’s necessary to prove the professional violated the standard of care. We do this by hiring top-notch experts.
2. Injury or loss resulting in considerable damages
Malpractice lawsuits can be emotionally draining and are typically expensive to litigate. Also, many states, including Ohio, have unfairly placed artificial limits on the amount of money malpractice victims can receive for certain types of harms. As a result, in many malpractice cases it doesn’t make sense to pursue the claim unless significant harm or death has occurred.
3. Harm caused by negligence
For a malpractice claim to succeed, it’s not enough to prove that the professional violated the standard of care, and that our client suffered serious harm. It’s also essential to prove that the malpractice caused the harm.
