How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
A patient who believes that he or she suffered a loss due to an error made by a health care provider may bring a lawsuit against a medical malpractice. These cases differ from personal injury lawsuits since they employ a professional standard to determine the extent of negligence.
In the United States, malpractice claims are handled by state trial courts. Each state has its own rules and procedures.
Duty of care
A surgeon, doctor, nurse, or any other health care professional, owes their patients the duty of care. This legal doctrine states that every health professional who treats you is required to adhere to accepted medical practices.
The medical standard of care is the legal yardstick to which all medical malpractice claims are evaluated. It is essential to a successful claim, since it lays out the specific procedure for the victim and his or her attorney to prove negligence by proving that a medical professional failed to meet the standards of care.
The proof of this standard of treatment often requires the assistance of a medical expert witness. These experts are vital to establishing the relevant medical standards of care and proving this standard was violated by the defendants in a medical malpractice case.
Additionally it is imperative to prove that the breach of duty was responsible for your injury or illness. In medical malpractice lawsuits, damages can include hospital bills, lost income as well as future earning capacity suffering, pain, and even punitive damages. Your lawyer must prove the value of these damages, which may exceed your original medical expenses. This is less difficult in some cases than others. Many doctors work at hospitals that give them staff privileges. In these situations, the physician's employer could be held accountable by virtue of theories of vicarious liability.
Breach of duty
A doctor has a responsibility to the patient to follow the medical standards of care when providing treatment or other services. If a doctor fails to comply with that duty and suffers injury an injured patient can file a malpractice lawsuit.
Medical negligence can encompass various actions, such as errors in diagnosis, dosage of medications and health management, as well as treatment and aftercare. For a lawsuit to be valid the plaintiff has to prove four legal elements. These are:
First, there must be a doctor-patient relationship. The doctor has a responsibility to inform patients of any risks or complications that could arise with the procedure. Failure to inform the patient of any risks or complications could render the physician liable for negligence, even if the procedure was carried out flawlessly. If the doctor did not inform the patient that a particular procedure was likely to have an average of 30% risk of losing limbs, the patient might not have consented.
The second aspect to be proved is an infraction to the standard of care. To do this, the lawyer needs to be able to present expert testimony to prove that the doctor violated the standard of care. In addition, it needs to be established that the breach caused the patient's injury.
It takes a long time to settle medical negligence claims in the court system, which includes a great deal of physician and attorney time, a thorough review of the records, interviewing experts and research into the medical and legal literature. A physician who is the subject of a malpractice suit will have to pay high court fees including attorney costs, work products, as well as expenses for expert testimony.
Causation
Doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals are humans and they make mistakes. When these mistakes reach the level of malpractice, patients can be afflicted with life-threatening injuries. The proof that a health care provider violated his or their duty and caused injury requires both medical and legal knowledge. A successful lawsuit must establish four legal elements: a physician-patient relationship; a doctor's professional obligation to the patient; the doctor's violation of this duty; and injury resulting from that breach.
The injury must be proved to have been caused by the doctor's deviation from the standard of medical care. This is a more stringent legal standard than "beyond reasonable doubt" in criminal cases. The plaintiff's lawyer must convince the jury/factfinder that it is more likely than not that the doctor's actions were negligent and that negligence was the primary factor in the injury.
A medical expert is usually required early in the process to identify all of these elements. According to Rhode Island law only doctors with sufficient knowledge, experience and training in the area of the claimed malpractice can give expert testimony. This is why selecting an expert medical professional who is competent is an essential aspect of a malpractice case.
Damages
Medical malpractice lawsuits are designed to collect damages that include past and future expenses incurred as a result of an injury. These costs could include hospital bills, doctor's visits, pain and discomfort, and lost wages. The jury will determine the amount of damages that will be awarded based on evidence presented.
During the trial the plaintiff or their attorney must prove four main legal elements: (1) a physician owed them a professional duty; (2) the doctor did not fulfill this duty when he or she acted negligently; (3) the doctor's negligence caused injury; and (4) the injuries caused by negligence resulted in damages. Dissatisfaction with a physician's work does not constitute malpractice, but an actual injury must be evident. A qualified expert witness will be able to determine if a doctor did not follow the standard of care.
The legal process for a malpractice claim may last for years. This is because "discovery" involves the exchange of documents and the sworn declarations of the parties involved. A majority of cases are settled before reaching the courtroom. However, a smaller amount of these claims make it to the stage of trial for a jury.
To limit malpractice liability Some states have taken several administrative and legislative measures collectively known as tort reform. Some states have implemented alternative dispute resolution systems that include binding arbitration. These alternatives to civil litigation are designed to cut down on costs of litigation, speed up the process of settling malpractice claims, remove overly generous juries, and filter out claims that are frivolous.
