This part of the case measures the extent of the injury to the patient. Complex formulas are often used to determine the monetary value of the damages, which can include medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Finally, we try to determine if the injury was caused as a result of substandard care. Also known as causation , this part of the medical malpractice claim gets at the question of whether or not a doctor's actions actually caused the injury. Even with excellent treatment, a patient might not recover totally from the condition for which he or she seeks treatment.
