Causation
in medical
negligence cases
- proving that negligence caused injury or harm
In addition to proving that any
standard of care was breached,
you must also prove that any negligence caused an injury or otherwise
harmed the patient. Proving this link is known as establishing causation.
It may be that the injury would
have happened regardless of any breach of care and in such cases there
will not be a claim.
It must be shown that on the
balance of probabilities the breach caused the loss which means that it is
more likely than not that the act of negligence caused their injuries.
