Answer

To establish a medical malpractice claim in New Jersey, four key elements must be proven:

  1. Duty of Care – A professional duty owed to the patient
  2. Breach of Duty – When that duty of care isn’t fulfilled
  3. Causation – Injury caused by the breach
  4. Damages – The damages that resulted from the breach of duty and injuries

Medical malpractice cases are complex and challenging to resolve, whether through trial or settlement which is why consulting an experienced medical malpractice attorney is advised.
