Importance of Causation in a Medical Malpractice Case

Causation in a medical malpractice case is very important. With the help of the proper expert which we have available, the expert will let us know that the breach of the standard of care which the doctor committed actually resulted in the injury which you’re claiming. Without that causation piece in the medical malpractice case, you do not have a case. So it’s important that once we establish there was a breach on the standard of care, it’s also important that the expert tells me and gives an opinion that that breach was the actual cause of the injury which you’re claiming.
