Assessing damages

Apart from the difficulties in winning a medical negligence case, assessing the damages is also difficult. The client in a medical negligence case is almost always suffering from a medical problem prior to the alleged negligence. Only the medical problems will flow from the negligence will lead to compensation. Other subsequent medical problems which cannot be shown to flow from negligence, do not attract compensation.
