What must medical negligence solicitors prove in a claim?

When it comes to bringing a medical negligence claim and proof, the burden sits with you. So it’s up to you to show that the person you sue made the medical error and was responsible for your injuries and financial losses. Put into legal jargon, as we put it already – you henceforth have the “burden of proof.”

So what happens when a person has the burden of proof in a medical negligence claim? In short, they must show that “it was more likely than not” that the clinician was negligent. Additionally, that their negligence caused physical or psychological harm. Clinical negligence solicitors refer to it as proving something on “a balance of probability.”

What medical negligence claim proof you need for compensation

The medical negligence solicitors we work with help you to prove in order to have a case for compensation. In short, you don’t need to spend time deducing these traits on your own. Start the claim by giving The Medical Negligence Experts a call. We’ll answer any questions that you have and offer expert opinion on your case.

If you suffer an injury, then get in touch with us if you believe that your injury fits these criteria.

• Above all, they owe you a duty of care you didn’t ultimately receive.
• The negligent party breached that duty of care.
• That breach resulted in your injury or illness.

Simplifying the medical negligence claim proof issue

In simple terms, you must prove something was more than 50% likely to happen. This is a much lower level of proof than is required in a criminal case where the prosecution has to prove its case “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Thus, if you would like to chat with an expert, feel free to contact us today.
