Kentucky Medical Malpractice Lawyers Fighting For Victims Of Medical Errors

In order to have a medical malpractice claim, you have to be able to prove that the doctor or hospital violated the reasonable standard of care owed to you as a patient and that you were harmed as a result of the violation of the standard of care, simply put, the hospital or doctor has to have been negligent, and you must have been injured by that negligence.

Bringing In Outside Experts

Proving a medical malpractice claim requires experts (usually other doctors) who are willing to testify that a violation of the standard of care was committed and that the doctor is at fault. Additionally, those experts have to provide evidence that the negligence caused the injury and testify regarding what complications from that negligence will continue into the future. These experts are very expensive, and cases are typically not pursued unless a person has significant damages due to hospital or doctor negligence.
