Medical Negligence And Drug History

Full Conversation

Billings Montana
Thank you for providing your location. In Montana, medical negligence cases are assessed based on the facts and evidence presented. A patient's history of drug addiction does not automatically invalidate their complaint. However, it may be considered during the evaluation of the case.
- Medical negligence is evaluated based on the standard of care provided.
- Evidence and expert testimony play a crucial role.
- The patient's medical history may influence the case but doesn't dismiss it outright.
For more specific guidance, consulting a local attorney is advisable.
That's not true because when I called a medical negligence attorney after the board didn't even investigate and dropped my complaint the first thing they asked me was did it was there any drug abuse history before they would even take my intake information to determine if they would be willing to help me so do you wanna try that again?
I understand your frustration. Attorneys often assess potential cases based on various factors, including the patient's medical history. However, legal standards for medical negligence in Montana are as follows:
- **Standard of Care**: Evaluates if the medical professional acted competently.
- **Evidence**: Crucial in proving negligence.
- **Expert Testimony**: Often required to establish standard of care deviations.
