Cosmetic Surgery Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is an act or failure to act on the part of the doctor which does not meet the standards practiced in the medical community and causes injury to a patient. It is simply professional negligence. In order to prove you have suffered injury due to medical malpractice you must prove the following:

Breach of the standard of care
Did the doctor make a mistake that a reasonable doctor under the same circumstances would not have made? To prove this you may need the testimony of another doctor or good expert witness.
Causation
Did the mistake the doctor make cause injury to you? This means you have to prove that if the doctor had not made the mistake then you would not have been injured.
Damages
How much damage did you suffer as a result of the injury? This could include lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering or death. Testimony from an economist might be needed to assess the full amount of damages.
