Abstract

This article, the fifth in a series, focuses on procedural issues concerning the causation element in health care litigation. The fourth article in the series identified the different perspectives of the medical and legal professions on the concept of cause and proposed an approach to clarify the concept for juries, judges, and arbitrators. This article analyzes the procedural aspects of proving causation or--as most health care providers in litigation often find it necessary to do--disproving causation.

摘要

本文是该系列的第五篇文章，重点关注医疗保健诉讼中因果关系要素的程序问题。该系列的第四篇文章确定了医学和法律专业对因果关系概念的不同观点，并提出了一种为陪审团、法官和仲裁员澄清该概念的方法。本文分析了证明因果关系的程序方面，或者——正如大多数参与诉讼的医疗保健提供者通常认为有必要做的那样——反驳因果关系的程序方面。
