Duty of Care
The first aspect of a medical negligence claim is that the party who suffered was legally obligated by the doctor that was violated. Contrary to other types of negligence cases Medical malpractice claims typically require the existence of a relationship between doctor and patient. This can be established by means like medical records and telephone consultations.

The standard of care is the amount an "reasonably prudent" doctor would do in similar or similar circumstances.
A physician breaches this duty in the event that he or she departs from standard care while treating the patient. If a physician fractures the arm of a patient, they might fail to cast the arm correctly. A breach by the doctor causes the injured arm to heal incorrectly. This can result in either a complete or partial loss of use, as well as financial damages.
In most instances, medical malpractice lawsuits are filed in state trial courts. However in certain circumstances federal courts can be able to hear these cases.

Medical malpractice lawsuits are usually adversarial and require an extensive legal discovery. This can include written interrogatories and depositions, as well as requests for documents. Victims of alleged medical malpractice might also have to deal with the pressure of the jury trial, and possibly be in danger of being rejected by a judge or dismissed by the jury.
