Breach

If a doctor does not adhere to these standards and that failure results in injury, medical malpractice and negligence may occur.

Damages
A plaintiff must demonstrate that the lawyer's actions led to actual financial losses in order to prevail in a legal malpractice suit. In a lawsuit, this must be proven with evidence like expert testimony or correspondence between the attorney and the client.
