• Certify that you are injured; patients who file a medical malpractice lawsuit must provide proof of injury or damage due to inadequate treatment. In some cases, patients may be eligible for compensation that includes the cost of treatment and loss in income because of their injuries.

• Confirm negligence done by the medical institution that caused the injury; one of the most crucial aspects about proving a malpractice case revolves around how negligent doctors were when they treated you under their responsibility as someone who provides healthcare services. 
  
  Patients that are hurt by their physicians must prove to the court that they were not already injured before coming in for treatment.

This is usually achieved through an agreement between both parties where one agrees to seek medical help from another in exchange for money or other compensation such as no warranty on submitted information whatsoever after handing over any personal data.
