In some instances, it can be difficult to establish a causal link. A skilled malpractice attorney will search for the evidence needed to prove this connection.

These are: (1) that the doctor had a duty of taking care of patients; (2) that the doctor violated that obligation by ignoring the standard of practice established; (3) the victim was injured as a result; and (4) this injury is quantifiable.
