This typically requires medical expert testimony to establish what a competent provider would have done differently in the same situation. Common examples include surgical errors, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, medication errors, and birth injuries. These cases are often complex and time-sensitive, with many states requiring an early expert affidavit or notice before a lawsuit can proceed.
