Your case must establish that the healthcare providers breach of the duty of care caused your injuries or illness. In a medical malpractice case, causation is especially difficult to prove because you have to show that the injury would not have occurred without the medical providers negligence.
In Mississippi, you may bring a medical malpractice lawsuit for an injury you suffered against a licensed healthcare provider based upon their negligence, misconduct, errors or omissions, or breach of contract in the rendering of healthcare, medical services, nursing services or other health-related services.
The four Ds of medical malpractice are duty, dereliction (negligence or deviation from the standard of care), damages, and direct cause. Each of these four elements must be proved to have been present, based on a preponderance of the evidence, for malpractice to be found.
Mississippi Code section 15-1-36 specifies that an injured patient must file a medical malpractice claim within two years of the date on which the health care provider committed the alleged malpractice, or the date on which, with reasonable diligence, the malpractice might have been first known or discovered.
