Medical malpractice claims require plaintiffs to prove that a healthcare provider\u2019s deviation from the standard of care was a proximate cause of their injuries. If they do not, their claims may be dismissed, as shown in a recent New York decision<\/a> where the court found that the plaintiff failed to establish causation related to an alleged delay in notifying a physician of a patient\u2019s deteriorating condition.

The physician instructed the hospital staff to notify him of any significant changes.<\/p>\n

Surgery commenced at 6:00 a.m., but the plaintiff developed a blood clot in her leg post-operatively. Due to her critical condition, surgery to remove the clot was deemed unfeasible, resulting in the need for an above-the-knee amputation.
