- First, you need to show that you were the medical professional’s patient and that the medical professional, thus, owed you a duty of care.
- You must then prove that the medical professional breached the duty of care by bringing the action that an otherwise reasonable medical professional would not have taken.
- You will then have to prove that you were injured and incurred severe damages as a result of the medical professional’s breach of care.
