| Claims for Breach of Contract |
| |
| Generally, most medical malpractice cases are tort actions based on the existence of a physician's duty to a patient, a breach of that duty, and injury to the patient as a result of the breach. Most healthcare providers do not promise a cure nor guarantee the best possible result.
