University of Washington Medical Center is an academic medical center known throughout the country (and world) for setting the standard for medical research. The university is responsible for breakthroughs in every aspect of medical science. Their physicians treat patients while also conducting research experiments and teaching young medical professionals. UW Medical Center does a wonderful job helping thousands of people every year.

But the fact that many of the staff members are interns and accidents that occur when these apprentices perform procedures may involve medical malpractice or hospital negligence. Every year there are medical malpractice and negligence cases at UW Medical Center.

Just 5.1 percent of doctors account for 54.2 percent of the malpractice payouts, according to data from the National Practitioner Data Bank. Of the 35,000 doctors who have had two or more malpractice payouts since 1990, only 7.6 percent of them have been disciplined. And only 13 percent of doctors with five medical malpractice payouts have been disciplined.

How Medical Malpractice Cases Work

In a medical malpractice case, when it comes to proving fault, it usually comes down to proving that the doctor or hospital was negligent when administering medical treatment, and as a result, you or a loved one suffered injury or harm.

Medical malpractice cases are often complex and require the services of an experienced attorney. When dealing with a malpractice case, there are a few things that need to be established:

• A doctor-patient relationship existed. The doctor must’ve had an obligation to the patient.
• Proving negligent care. You will need to prove that the doctor did not meet the medical standard of care.
• Prove an injury occurred. It must be proven that your injuries occurred as a result of the doctor’s negligence.
• Proving damages. You must prove that you suffered as a result of the malpractice.
• Prove all elements. You need to prove all elements above “by a preponderance of the evidence.” This means that it needs to be more likely true than not.
