If my doctor was negligent does that mean I win
Not necessarily. Sometimes, the negligence of the doctor will not cause you any increased harm or damages. You have to establish not only that the doctor, through negligence, violated the standard of care, but also that your doctor's negligence played a substantial role in causing you harm. An example: some types of cancer are almost always fatal and cannot reasonably be diagnosed before they have already grown to such a size and type as to already be terminal. If your radiologist, for example, failed to diagnose one of these types of cancer on x-ray, and a delay in your diagnosis ensued, your radiologist would defend himself in any case you and/or your estate brought against him by stating that with this particular cancer, as it appeared on the x-ray that he misread, that it already was a death sentence. Any delay on his part did not cause your death from that cancer.
