How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
A malpractice case is one in which a medical professional fails to treat a patient in line to accepted standards of care. For example when an orthopedic surgeon commits a mistake during surgery that results in injuries to nerves in the femoral region, this could be considered medical negligence.
Duty of care
All medical professionals are obligated by the obligation to care that arises from the doctor-patient relationship. This includes taking reasonable precautions to prevent injury or to treat a patient's condition. The doctor must inform the patient of any risks connected to a treatment procedure. If a doctor fails to inform the patient about potential risks known to the profession could be liable for negligence.
A medical professional who violates their duty of care is liable for negligence, and is required to pay damages to a plaintiff. To establish this aspect of the case, it must be established that the defendant's actions or inaction fell below the standard that other medical professionals would have acted under similar circumstances. This is usually established by expert testimony.
A medical professional who is familiar with the applicable practice and the kinds of tests that should be conducted to diagnose an illness may testify that the defendant's actions violated the standard of care for the specific disease or condition. They can also explain to the jury in simple terms the reason why the standard of care was violated.
Some medical experts are not qualified to work on malpractice cases, so an experienced attorney must know how to find and work with the appropriate experts. In more complex cases the expert might be required to provide detailed reports as well as be available to testify at court.
Breach of duty
All malpractice lawsuit cases are based on defining a standard of care, and proving that the medical professional violated it. This is typically done through expert testimony from other doctors who have the same knowledge, skills, and experience as the negligent doctor.
In essence, the standard of care is what other medical experts would do in your circumstances to treat you. Doctors have a duty to their patients to treat them with caution and in a fair manner. The duty of care carries over to their loved family members. However, this does not mean that medical professionals are not required to be good samaritans out of the hospital.
If a medical professional violates his or her duty of care, and you suffer harm the medical professional is responsible for the injuries. The plaintiff must also prove that the breach directly led to the injury. If, for instance, the defendant surgeon does not read the patient's chart and performs surgery on the wrong leg, causing an injury, it is likely negligence.
It is important to remember that it can be difficult to prove the reason for your injury. For example, in the case where a surgical sponge was left behind following gallbladder surgery, it's difficult to prove that the patient's complications were directly related to the surgery.
Causation
A doctor may be held accountable for negligence only if the patient can prove that the doctor's negligence directly caused injury. This is called "cause". It is important to remember that a negative outcome of an intervention is not necessarily medical malpractice. The plaintiff must prove that the doctor erred from a standard of care normally adhered to in similar cases.
A doctor has a responsibility to inform a patient of the potential risks and consequences as well as the likelihood of success of a procedure. If a patient has not been adequately informed of the potential risks, they may have chosen to opt out of the procedure and choose an alternative. This is known as the duty of informed consent.
The legal system's framework to handle medical malpractice claims evolved from the 19th century English common law, Malpractice Attorney and is governed by court decisions and legislative statutes that differ between states.
The procedure of suing a doctor involves filing an official complaint or summons filed in the state court. The document outlines the alleged wrongs, and seeks compensation for harms caused by the physician's actions. The lawyer of the plaintiff must schedule an oath-taking deposition with the defendant doctor, which gives the plaintiff an opportunity to give testimony. The deposition is usually recorded to be used as evidence in the trial of the case.
Damages
A patient who believes that a physician has committed medical malpractice could pursue an action before a court. A plaintiff must establish the following four elements to be able to establish a valid claim of malpractice: a legal duty to act within the standards of practice in the field and a breach of this duty; an injury caused by the breach; and damages that are reasonable in relation to the injury.
Medical malpractice cases require expert testimony. Often, the attorney representing the defendant will initiate discovery, where the parties ask for written interrogatories or requests for production of documents. These are requests and questions for tangible evidence that the opposing party has to respond under oath. The process can be a long and drawn-out one, and lawyers for both sides will have experts to provide evidence.
The plaintiff must also prove that the negligence caused significant damages. This is because it can be costly to pursue a malpractice case. A lawsuit might not be worth it if the damages are minor. Additionally the amount of damages must be more than the cost of filing the suit. For this reason, it is crucial for patients to speak with an experienced Board Certified legal malpractice attorney before making a claim. After a trial has concluded, either the losing or winning side can appeal the decision of a lower court. In an appeal, a higher level judge will review the case to determine whether the lower court committed mistakes in law or in the facts.
