Breach
A doctor is required to perform a duty of care for his patients that corresponds to professional medical standards. If a doctor fails meet these standards and that failure causes injury, then medical malpractice and negligence may occur. Typically expert testimony from medical professionals who have similar training, expertise and certifications will aid in determining what the best standard of care should be in a specific situation. Federal and state laws and institute policies can also be used to define what doctors must do for certain types of patients.

In legal terms, this is called the causation factor and it is crucial to establish. If a physician has to perform an x-ray on a broken arm, they must place the arm in a casting and correctly set it. If the doctor fails to do this and the patient suffers a permanent loss of use of the arm, malpractice may be at play.

However, it's important to understand that not all mistakes made by attorneys constitute malpractice. Strategy and planning errors aren't usually considered to be a sign of misconduct. Attorneys have a broad decision-making discretion to make decisions so long as they're in the right place.
In addition, the law allows attorneys considerable leeway to fail to perform discovery on the behalf of clients, so long as the action was not negligent or unreasonable. Legal malpractice can be caused when a lawyer fails to find important documents or facts, such as medical reports or witness statements. Other examples of malpractice are the failure to include certain defendants or claims, for instance the mistake of not remembering a survival number for wrongful death cases, or the repeated failure to communicate with clients.

The claim of malpractice by the plaintiff is rejected when it isn't proven. This makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. For this reason, it's crucial to hire an experienced attorney to represent you.
Damages
A plaintiff must show that the attorney's actions caused actual financial losses in order to win a legal malpractice suit. In a lawsuit, this must be proven with evidence like expert testimony or correspondence between the attorney and the client. In addition the plaintiff has to prove that a reasonable lawyer could have avoided the harm caused by the negligence of the attorney. This is called proximate causation.
The causes of malpractice vary. Some of the most common malpractices include: failing the deadline or statute of limitations; failing to conduct the necessary conflict checks on a case; applying the law in a way that is not appropriate to the client's circumstances; and breaching the fiduciary obligation (i.e. mixing trust funds with attorney's personal accounts) or mishandling the case, and failing to communicate with clients.
In the majority of medical malpractice cases the plaintiff is seeking compensatory damages. These compensations are intended to compensate the victim for out-of pocket expenses and losses, such as medical and hospitals bills, the cost of equipment to aid in recovery and lost wages. In addition, victims can claim non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment life and emotional distress.
Legal malpractice cases often involve claims for compensatory or punitive damages. The former compensates victims for losses caused by the negligence of the attorney, whereas the latter is intended to discourage future misconduct by the defendant.
