"willful neglect or malpractice"
The standard of proof for negligence is not "wilfull"
No one commits willful negligence. That is called either recklesness or intentional, which could be a crime.
Negligence often involves deviating from an accepted standard of care by similar professionals in the same circumstance.
Believe it or not, med mal cases are very hard to prove.
Don't have to prove anything. Just convince a jury someone is entitled to something
I believe it. Which is why I was curious why a lawyer was going to be consulted prior to a second or third medical opinion.
If I missed something, I apologise. I have tried to avoid rudeness, but some questions have to be asked.
But you don't have to prove it, just get 12 idiots on a jury (and claim to channel the spirit of a dead child or two).
