While the practice of medicine is not always an exact science, patients have a right to be treated with the highest degree of skill and care, by doctors, therapists, nurses and health professionals.  Any medical professional must abide by recognized standards of practice.

Medical Malpractice Law

To recover damages, you must establish liability and prove that the medical professional in question, breached the standard of care which others in the profession would employ under similar circumstances.  This often requires using medical experts to testify about the appropriate standard of care and how the medical professional in question, failed to meet the set standard.

The law is clear, if you are able to prove liability, you are entitled to damages.
