The requirements for establishing medical negligence are a little more specific than a basic negligence case. To show medical negligence in a wrongful death case, it must be shown that the person’s death was caused by a negligent act or omission by a doctor or other health care professional. Those health care professionals can include surgeons, nurses, physician’s assistants, dentists, pharmacists, pathologists, toxicologists, pharmacologists, technicians, nursing homes, hospitals, medical practices, urgent care clinics, emergency rooms and many others.
