A legal duty exists whenever a hospital or health care provider undertakes treatment to a patient. The duty is breached when the provider is failed to conform to the standard care. The breach of duty is a proximate cause of injury. Without damages there is no basis for a claim, regardless of whether the medical provider was negligent. Likewise, damage can occur without negligence, e.g., when someone dies from a fatal disease.
