These are: (1) that the doctor was obligated to provide caring; (2) that the doctor breached the duty by not adhering to the standards of practice established; (3) the victim was injured as a result and (4) the damage is quantifiable. The injured party must also present a lawsuit within the statute of limitations in effect that varies from state to state.
The law recognizes the fact that medical malpractice lawsuits are complex and costly to settle, especially if they are based on complicated issues like proximate causes or predictability. Its purpose is to ensure that victims receive the redress that they deserve, without allowing unjustified and opportunistic lawsuits delay the justice system. It also aims to cut costs by making sure that all defendants take responsibility for the success of a case (joint-and-several liability) while limiting the amount that a plaintiff may recover if the other defendants are unable to pay ("damage cap") as well as prohibiting doctors from practicing defensive medical, which requires them to change their treatment plans in response to the threat or malpractice lawsuits.
