How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
A malpractice instance is when a medical professional fails to treat a patient in line with the accepted standards of care. For instance when an orthopedic surgeon makes a mistake during surgery that results in damage to the nerves of the femoral joint, this could be considered medical negligence.
Duty of care
The doctor-patient partnership creates the obligation of care all medical professionals must meet in their job. The job requires taking reasonable steps to prevent injury and to cure or ease the symptoms of a patient's illness. The doctor must also warn the patient of any potential risks that are associated with treatment or procedure. A doctor who fails to inform patients about the risks that are known to the profession could be held liable for malpractice.
When a medical professional violates their duty of care, they are accountable for negligence and must pay damages to the plaintiff. This aspect of the case has to be proved by showing that the defendant's conduct or inactions fell short of the standard of the way other medical professionals do in similar circumstances. This is typically established through expert testimony.
A medical professional who is well-versed in the applicable practice and the kinds of tests that should be performed to determine the severity of a particular illness can be able to prove that the defendant's actions did not meet the standards of care for the specific illness or condition. They can also inform a jury in simple terms how the standard of medical care was not met.
Not all medical experts are qualified to handle malpractice cases, so an experienced attorney should know how to find and work with experts. In more complex cases there may be a need that the expert provide specific reports and be present to give evidence in the courtroom.
Breach of duty
All malpractice cases are based around defining the standard of care, and proving that the medical professional did not adhere to it. This is typically done through expert testimony from other physicians who have similar skills, knowledge and experience as the negligent doctor.
In essence, the standard of care is what other medical professionals would do in your circumstances to treat you. Doctors have a duty to their patients to treat them with care and in a sensible manner. This duty of care extends to their loved ones. However, this does not mean that medical professionals are not required to be good Samaritans in and outside of the hospital.
If a medical professional breaches his or their duty of care and you suffer injury then they are accountable for the harm. In addition the plaintiff must show that their injury was directly caused by the breach. For instance, if the defendant surgeon misreads the patient's chart and then operates on the wrong leg, causing injury, it is likely negligence.
It could be difficult to prove the cause of your injury. It can be difficult to prove that a surgical sponge left behind after gallbladder surgeries caused the patient's injuries.
Causation
A doctor is only liable for malpractice if the patient is able to demonstrate that the doctor's negligence caused the injury. This is referred to as "cause". It is important to keep in mind that a negative consequence of an intervention is not necessarily medical malpractice. The plaintiff must also demonstrate that the physician deviated from the standard of care that is normally applied in similar cases.
It is the doctor's responsibility to inform the patient of the risks and potential outcomes of a procedure, including the rate of success. If a patient hasn't been adequately informed about the potential risks, they may have decided to opt out of the procedure and opt for an alternative. This is known as the duty of informed consent.
The legal system's framework for dealing with medical malpractice cases evolved from 19th century English common law, and is governed by court rulings and legislative statutes that vary between states.
The procedure of suing a doctor involves filing an official complaint or summons in a state court. The document outlines the alleged wrongs and demands compensation for injuries caused by a physician's actions. The attorney representing the plaintiff needs to organize a deposition of the defendant physician under oath. This is an opportunity for the plaintiff's attorney to present evidence. The deposition will be recorded and used as evidence at the trial.
Damages
A patient who believes a doctor has acted negligently in medical treatment can file a lawsuit in the court. A plaintiff must demonstrate that there are four elements that constitute an action for malpractice that is valid that includes a legal obligation to act within the rules of the profession and a breach of duty, an injury resulting by this breach and damages that can be reasonablely connected to the injuries.
Expert testimony is required in medical malpractice cases. Often, the defendant's attorney will initiate discovery, where parties ask for written interrogatories or requests for the production of documents. These are questions and requests for tangible evidence that the opposing party must respond under oath. This could be a lengthy and drawn-out procedure and both sides will have experts testify.
The plaintiff must also show that negligence caused substantial damages. It is costly to pursue a malpractice claim. If the damages are small then it might not be worth it to bring an action. Additionally, the amount of the damages must be greater than the cost of filing the suit. It is therefore important to consult with an Board Certified legal malpractice lawyer before bringing a lawsuit. After a trial has concluded, either the winning or losing party may appeal the decision of the lower court. In the event of an appeal, a higher court will look at the record and determine whether the lower court committed any errors in fact or law.
