What Is Medical Causation

Medical causation analysis addresses several key questions in legal cases:

Direct Cause Relationship

Was the injury or condition directly caused by the alleged action or inaction? Our experts evaluate the medical evidence to determine causation relationships.

Foreseeability and Prevention

Was the outcome foreseeable and preventable based on the medical circumstances? We assess standard medical practices and decision-making processes.

Pre-existing Condition Impact

Did pre-existing conditions play a role in the patient outcome? Our analysis separates baseline conditions from new injuries or complications.

Timing and Sequence Analysis

We evaluate the timing of medical events to establish causation relationships and rule out alternative explanations for patient outcomes.
