What is Causation?
We’re often asked by our medical malpractice clients about causation. Causation can get a little tricky, but simply put it is the deviation from the standard of care — what the physician did wrong — that caused your injuries. At Edwards & Ragatz, we get highly-trained experts to talk about what the standard of care is, and secondly, that committing malpractice caused the injuries and the damages that we’re seeking in your case.

What is Breach of Duty?
We’re often asked by our clients about breach of duty. Your physicians, in medical malpractice, have a duty to meet the applicable standard of care. What that means is that, a lot of times, clients come to us with nothing more than a hunch that their physicians didn’t do things correctly. We gather all pertinent records and hire experts that are at the top of their field to help us determine what a physician should’ve done under similar circumstances. That’s part of our job at Edwards & Ragatz.
