Who is Liable in Cases of Medical Malpractice in Philadelphia?

Doctors and hospitals do what they can to provide good healthcare to their patients and do no harm. Unfortunately, sometimes mistakes do happen and while a medical error may be unintentional it can still cause serious injury or even wrongful death. Depending on the exact circumstances the fault may lay with the negligent party, such as:

• Hospital

• Doctors

• Nurses

• Pharmacy

• Surgeon

In order to successfully sue a person or an organization for medical malpractice, it is essential to prove fault which led to personal injury or to wrongful death. To prove this, your attorney needs to establish that the medical professional did not exercise the proper standard of care when treating you or your loved one. In other words proof of negligence has to be established, which requires that the plaintiff and their legal counsel show that:

1. The medical professional had a duty to the patient, such as a doctor-patient relationship.

2. The duty to the patient was breached by not providing the appropriate standard of care - for this to happen the standard of care needs to be established first.

3. There was a connection between the doctor’s lacking standards of care and the personal injury or a wrongful death.

4. Injury to the patient occured (or a wrongful death).
