In a case where your loved one’s death was caused by medical malpractice, there are two issues at play: the first is proving medical malpractice, and the second involves filing a wrongful death action because the cause of death was medical negligence. To prove medical malpractice, you must prove that the care your loved one received deviated from the accepted standard of care, and that it was this deviation that caused your loved one’s death. To build a malpractice case, your attorney will work with a medical expert. The expert will review the case files, investigate the circumstances surrounding the death, and decide whether what transpired could be considered a preventable medical error and substandard care.
