What Constitutes Medical Malpractice Under Utah Law?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. Under Utah law, this means the provider’s actions or inactions fell below what a reasonably competent healthcare professional would have done under similar circumstances. 

Common examples include:

• Misdiagnosis
• Surgical errors
• Medication mistakes
• Birth injuries
• Failure to obtain informed consent 
• Failure to consider a patient’s medical history
• Delayed diagnosis or treatment
• Anesthesia errors
• Hospital-acquired infections
• Failure to monitor patients properly
• Emergency room negligence

How to Prove Negligence in Medical Malpractice Cases

To prove medical malpractice, it is not enough to simply show that you were injured during medical treatment. You must show that the healthcare provider’s negligence directly caused your harm. The essential elements of a medical malpractice lawsuit include:

• Duty of care, establishing the doctor-patient relationship
• Breach of duty, or proving that the provider failed to meet professional standards
• Causation, or connecting the breach directly to your injuries
• Damages, or the financial, physical, and emotional losses you suffered as a result

These elements can be complex to establish and often require extensive medical documentation and expert testimony. At We Win Injury Law, we work with qualified medical professionals who can analyze your case and provide the expert opinions necessary to build a strong foundation for your claim. 

Additionally, we will thoroughly investigate your case, gather all relevant medical records, and properly present every piece of evidence to insurers, judges, and juries. With this comprehensive support, you can focus on your recovery while we handle the intricate legal work that these demanding cases require.

Utah’s Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations

Utah law strictly limits the time you have to file a medical malpractice claim. Generally, you must file your lawsuit within two years of discovering the injury or when you reasonably should have discovered it, but no more than four years from when the alleged malpractice occurred. If you suspect that your doctor was negligent, don’t wait to seek help—trust We Win Injury Law to investigate your case and file your lawsuit before time is up.
