A medical malpractice claim is based on the Torts Ordinance and on the duty of care a provider owes a patient. For a cause of action to exist, you must show a deviation from a reasonable medical standard, and that this deviation caused harm — a causal link that usually requires an expert medical opinion. In addition, the Patient's Rights Law grants the right to informed consent, and treatment without adequate explanation may establish a cause of action on its own. The process is complex, and it can be hard to tell whether what happened was an expected outcome of treatment or real negligence. An initial estimate helps you understand whether it's worth pursuing, before approaching a lawyer and an expert.

Frequently asked
- When is there a cause of action for medical malpractice?
- When you can show the provider deviated from a reasonable medical standard, and that this deviation caused harm (a causal link). Treatment without informed consent under the Patient's Rights Law may also establish a cause of action. LawLab examines whether the circumstances you provide may meet these conditions.
- Is a medical expert opinion required?
- Usually yes. Proving negligence and causation generally requires an opinion from a medical expert in the relevant field. LawLab explains which records are needed to assess whether it's worth commissioning an opinion.
- Is the estimate accurate or binding?
- No. It's an initial estimate for orientation only; the existence of a cause of action and the amount are determined by the court based on the evidence and medical opinions.
- Does this replace a lawyer?
- No. A medical malpractice claim is a complex process requiring a licensed attorney and a medical expert. The estimate is meant to help you understand whether it's worth pursuing.
