When can I sue a doctor for medical mistakes?

A medical mistake is nothing more than negligence committed by a doctor. Therefore, you would need to prove the four elements of negligence: the doctor owed you a duty of care, the doctor breached that duty of care, the doctor's breach caused you to suffer an injury, and you indeed suffered an injury. In medical mistake cases, you must also have a new injury, not just the injury that you went to the doctor for in the first place. You should consult an attorney for an evaluation of your claim.
