Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys have a fiduciary connection with their clients and are required to conduct themselves with diligence, care and expertise. Attorneys make mistakes, just like any other professional.
A mistake made by an attorney can be considered malpractice. To prove legal malpractice, an aggrieved person must demonstrate duty, breach, causation and damages. Let's examine each of these aspects.
Duty
Doctors and medical professionals take an oath that they will use their skill and training to treat patients, and not to cause further harm. The legal right of a patient to compensation for injuries sustained from medical malpractice hinges on the concept of duty of care. Your attorney can determine if your doctor's actions violated the duty of care and if these breaches caused you injury or illness.
To establish a duty of care, your lawyer must to demonstrate that a medical professional has an agreement with you in which they owed you a fiduciary responsibility to act with reasonable expertise and care. This can be proved by eyewitness testimony, physician-patient records and expert testimony of doctors who have similar education, experience, and training.
Your lawyer must also show that the medical professional violated their duty of care by not submitting to the standards of practice that are accepted in their field. This is often referred to as negligence. Your lawyer will examine the defendant's actions to what a reasonable person would perform in the same situation.
Your lawyer must also show that the breach by the defendant caused direct injury or loss. This is known as causation, and your attorney will use evidence such as your doctor-patient records, witness statements and expert testimony to show that the defendant's failure to live up to the standard of care in your case was a direct cause of your injury or loss.
Breach
A doctor is bound by a duty of treatment to his patients that reflects professional medical standards. If a doctor fails meet those standards and that failure results in injury, negligence and medical malpractice might occur. Typically experts' testimony from medical professionals with similar training, skills or certifications will assist in determining what the minimum standard of medical care should be in a specific situation. Federal and state laws, as well as policies of the institute, help determine what doctors are required to provide for specific types of patients.
To win a malpractice case it must be proven that the doctor breached his or her duty of care and that the breach was a direct cause of an injury. In legal terms, this is referred to as the causation component, and it is essential that it is established. If a doctor is required to take an x-ray of a broken arm, they must place the arm in a cast and properly set it. If the doctor did not do so and the patient was left with an irreparable loss of use of that arm, then malpractice could have occurred.
Causation
Attorney malpractice claims are based on evidence that shows the attorney's errors caused financial losses to the client. For example, if a lawyer fails to file an action within the timeframe of limitations, leading to the case being lost forever the person who was injured can bring legal malpractice actions.
However, it's important to realize that not all errors made by lawyers are a sign of malpractice. Mistakes in strategy and planning do not typically constitute malpractice lawsuit attorneys are given lots of freedom to make judgement calls so long as they're reasonable.
The law also gives attorneys the right to refuse to conduct discovery on behalf of their clients as long as the decision was not arbitrary or a case of negligence. Inability to find important information or documents, such as medical reports or witness statements can be a case of legal malpractice. Other examples of malpractice include a inability to include certain defendants or claims such as omitting to file a survival count in a wrongful-death case or the consistent and extended inability to contact a client.
It's also important to note that it must be proven that, if not the negligence of the lawyer the plaintiff would have won the case. Otherwise, the plaintiff's claim for malpractice will be rejected. This requirement makes bringing legal malpractice claims difficult. It is crucial to find an experienced attorney.
Damages
To win a legal malpractice case, the plaintiff must prove actual financial losses resulting from the actions of an attorney. In a lawsuit, this must be proven through evidence, such as expert testimony and correspondence between the client and attorney. A plaintiff must also prove that a reasonable lawyer could have prevented the harm caused by the lawyer's negligence. This is referred to as proximate cause.
Malpractice can occur in many different ways. The most frequent types of malpractice include: failing to meet a deadline, including a statute of limitations, failure to conduct a check on conflicts or other due diligence check on the case, not applying the law to the client's situation or breaching a fiduciary obligation (i.e. Commingling funds from a trust account an attorney's own accounts or handling a case improperly and not communicating with the client are all examples of malpractice.
Medical malpractice lawsuits typically include claims for compensatory damages. These compensate the victim for out-of-pocket expenses and losses, for example hospital and medical bills, costs of equipment that aids in recovery, and lost wages. Victims can also claim non-economic damages, such as discomfort and pain, loss of enjoyment of their lives, as well as emotional anxiety.
Legal malpractice cases usually include claims for compensatory and punitive damages. The former compensates victims for the loss resulting from the negligence of an attorney, while the latter is intended to deter future malpractice by the defendant.
