To prove a duty to care, your lawyer needs to demonstrate that a medical professional had an legal relationship with you and had a fiduciary obligation to perform their duties with reasonable expertise and care. This can be demonstrated through eyewitness testimony, doctor-patient reports and expert testimony from doctors with similar education, experience, and training.
Your lawyer must also show that the medical professional violated their duty of care by not living up to the accepted standards of practice in their field.

Breach

If a physician fails to meet these standards, and the failure results in an injury and/or medical malpractice, then negligence can occur. Expert witness testimony from medical professionals that possess similar qualifications, training, skills and experience can help determine the appropriate level of care in a particular situation.
