If you suffer from an injury or ailment as a consequence of a misdiagnosis or as a result of poor medical treatment, you may have a medical negligence claim. In order to succeed in a medical negligence claim in this jurisdiction, the burden of proof is immensely high. It is necessary to prove the following:
- That the medical professional owed you a duty of care
- That there was a breach of this duty
- That you suffered a loss or damage
- That there is a causal link between the breach of the duty of care and the loss or damage that you suffered.
