A: A claim for Medical Malpractice includes: breach of the standard of care, injury, and damages. There may be no remedy for this malpractice if there was no injury (you have not stated an injury or damages). If there are damages, unless they are significant or long term, it may not be practical for an attorney to bring a suit against the potential defendant, because a medical malpractice case will often involve multiple expert witness (who may cost several thousands of dollars each to retain).
