Hey, Dave McDermott here. McDermott Mafia, McDermott Law Group, McDermott Malitia.
All one in the same. Today's need to know
even though what need to know the law we
are in New York specifically downtown
New York City Lexington and 23rd at a
broken shaker a beautiful at some dive
bar on a rooftop here we are going to
talk today about medical negligence also
called medical malpractice and
negligence itself there are four
different elements to in evidence cases
duty a breach of duty and causation and
damages so for medical negligence
for example the duty would be the other
duty to properly treat in or diagnose
the condition the breach then would be a
failure to properly treated or diagnose
a condition causation would be your
failure to diagnose and or treat that
condition cause a particular injury and
then damages you have to build a
quantify what your damages are how you
are in fact injured as a result of the
doctors failure to properly diagnose and
or treat your condition with medical
negligence
unlike other negligence cases it very
often requires an attestation or
certification from another doctor saying
that this doctor over here this nurse or
this institution this hospital deviated
from the proper standard of medical care
that was owed to the patient you have to
be able to have that in addition to
those other four elements to be able to
satisfy its properly prosecutor or go
forward on a medical malpractice case so
that's it for today's needs no I am
right now going to enjoy this
Green Bloody Mary very unusual made
tomatoes on this very beautiful rooftop
here in downtown New York until next
time from Cheers
