In general, medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to provide a standard of care that is in line with what is expected in their profession, and this failure causes injury or harm to the patient. To establish legal grounds for a medical malpractice claim, the following elements must typically be present:

1. Duty: The healthcare provider had a duty to provide care to the patient.
2. Breach of duty: The healthcare provider breached that duty by failing to provide a standard of care that is in line with what is expected in their profession.
3. Causation: The healthcare provider’s breach of duty was the direct cause of the patient’s injury or harm.
4. Damages: The patient suffered damages, such as physical injury, emotional distress, or financial loss, as a result of the healthcare provider’s breach of duty.

In addition to these elements, medical malpractice claims must typically meet certain procedural requirements, such as complying with statutes of limitations, providing notice to the healthcare provider, and obtaining expert testimony.

It’s important to note that the specific legal grounds for medical malpractice claims can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific facts of the case. If you believe you have been the victim of medical malpractice, it’s important to consult with an experienced attorney who can advise you on the specific legal requirements in your jurisdiction.
