Every hospital malpractice case must have three elements present:

First, the hospital, clinic, or emergency room must be proven to have preformed in a negligent manner when providing emergency or medical services. Negligence can generally be found if the hospital not following its standard procedures, or if it deviates from the established standard of care for the area.

You must also be able to show actual damages or harm caused by the hospital's negligence. If the emergency room did not treat you within a reasonable amount of time, it may have been a major inconvenience, but it may not have resulted in additional injury or harm. If the delay led to a delayed diagnosis or improper treatment that resulted in serious harm, you may be entitled to sue for damages.

Finally, you must be able to show that a definite link existed between the negligent act and the harm it caused. If the delay in the emergency room did not directly result in further injury, you may not be able to show a specific link. If the delay caused you to suffer shock because of loss of blood, a definite link may be demonstrated to exist between the hospital negligence and the harm it caused.
