Failure to provide a proper standard of care

An injury was the consequence of negligence
Even if a patient feels a medical professional was negligent, a claim cannot be made unless it can be proven that the negligence caused harm or injury. It must also be proven that the injury or harm would not have occurred otherwise.
The patient’s injury must have damaging consequences
Examples of damage include suffering, enduring hardship, chronic pain, loss of income, and injuries that disabled the patient.
In Kentucky, you only have one year from the date the negligence occurred or you reasonably should have discovered the negligence. After that, your claim is barred forever. If you believe you have a claim, do not delay. Call an attorney today!
