Proving Medical Malpractice in Virginia

Malpractice suits are complex; hospitals and medical staff are well-protected by medical insurance companies and their own legal experts.

There is always a presumed risk to the patient when they undergo any treatment and the law considers the inevitability of human error. It is not enough to demonstrate that your condition did not improve after seeking medical advice or surgery did not meet your particular expectations.

Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations in the state of Virginia is only two years from the date of injury (at least in most cases). Time is of the essence for the injured. That is why it is critical that you work with an experienced Virginia medical malpractice attorney.

Does your case meet these basic requirements?

To succeed with a medical malpractice case, the injured party must prove the following:

A doctor-patient (or other healthcare provider) relationship was formally in place and the medical professional failed to fulfill their duty of care to the patient
The doctor or healthcare provider’s negligence directly caused injury to the patient
The injury led to specific damages and loss—this includes any resulting illnesses, wrongful death, lost wages, incurred medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and future expenses

Burden of Proof

In order to pursue compensation for a case, the following burdens of proof must be accomplished:

A variety of documented evidence must prove that malpractice occurred—it is the responsibility of the plaintiff and his/her representation to provide this
The alleged instance of malpractice is directly responsible for the patient’s injuries
The resulting injury or illness is substantial enough to require financial damages
