A doctor owes you a duty of care when you have a patient-doctor relationship. This is true whether the doctor is treating you in a hospital or in your home. There are certain circumstances where doctors could be held accountable for their actions even when there is no relationship between the doctor and patient.
A person who has an obligation of care must act in the same way as a reasonable individual under the circumstances. For example, a motorist is required to be cautious when driving and not cause injuries to other drivers on the road. If the driver is not upholding this obligation and results in an accident, they could be held accountable for any injuries that result.

It is not enough to prove that malpractice occurred. To be awarded damages, you must prove that there was a direct link between the breach of duty committed by the doctor and your injury or illness. This is known as causation. It is a complex connection to establish in certain instances, but a knowledgeable attorney will try to discover the evidence required to prove this connection.
Causation
A malpractice case only has validity when the plaintiff can prove that the defendant's wrongful actions caused the losses and injuries. Proving medical negligence requires the use of expert testimony to prove the existence of a patient-provider relationship and that the service provider violated the standard of care that is acceptable.

Damages
The amount of compensation that a patient will receive in a case of medical malpractice depends on the severity of their injuries, as well as how much they will require to cover medical expenses and lost income, as well as any other financial losses. In some instances, a plaintiff may also be awarded punitive damages as a way to punish the doctor for their conduct. They are not common, since doctors must have acted recklessly or with the intention of receiving punitive damages.
Anyone who asserts medical malpractice must prove four elements, or legal requirements. These include: (1) that the doctor was bound by a duty of caring; (2) that the doctor breached the duty by not adhering to the standard of practice that are in place; (3) the victim was injured as a result and (4) the harm is quantifiable. The person who suffered the injury must make a claim before the deadline for filing a lawsuit, which is determined by the statute of limitations applicable to them which differs from state to state.
The law recognizes the fact that medical malpractice lawsuits can be expensive and complex to resolve, particularly if they involve complex issues such as proximate cause or predictability. The goal of the law is to provide victims with the justice they deserve without allowing frivolous or opportunistic lawsuits to slow down courts. It also seeks to reduce costs by making sure that all defendants share the liability for a claim's outcome (joint and multiple liability); limiting the total amount a plaintiff could get if the other defendants do not have funds to pay ("damage caps"); and preventing doctors from practicing defensive medicine, which entails altering their treatment plans due to the danger of malpractice lawsuits.
