In order to hold a healthcare professional liable, it is up to the person making the claim to provide proof of fault, injury and a causal link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When practitioners are employed by an establishment, whether public or private, only the structure in which they work may be held liable before the courts or administrative tribunals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
