In order to win a medical malpractice case in Pennsylvania, your medical malpractice attorney must help you prove that your medical related injury occurred as a result of the following factors:

1. That a medical professional responsible for your care deviated from the standard of care also known as negligence.
2. That the departure substantially caused and/or contributed to your injuries.
3. That the injuries you’ve suffered are permanent, significant, lessen your quality of life, limit your ability to work and earn a living and cause you long-term pain and suffering.

All of these conditions must be proven by an expert physician who has either treated you and can confirm each aspect of your case, or by an expert who has reviewed the records and can confirm each element of your medical malpractice claim.
