if an injury was caused by mere negligence can it be counted as a Medical Malpractice.
If any health care professional simply violated the standard of care, it is not sufficient enough that this episode can be termed or claimed as a medical malpractice. The patient must also prove he or she sustained an injury that would not have occurred in the absence of negligence. An unfavorable outcome by itself is not malpractice.
The patient must prove that the negligence caused the injury. If there is an injury without negligence or negligence that did not cause an injury, there is no case.
