Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys are in a fiduciary position with their clients and are required to behave with care, diligence and ability. Attorneys make mistakes, just like every other professional.
There are many mistakes made by an attorney are considered to be malpractice. To demonstrate legal malpractice, an aggrieved person must demonstrate duty, breach, causation and damages. Let's review each of these elements.
Duty
Doctors and medical professionals take an oath to use their skills and experience to cure patients, not causing further harm. Duty of care is the foundation for the right of patients to receive compensation in the event of injury due to medical negligence. Your attorney will determine if the actions of your doctor breached the duty of medical care and if those breaches resulted in injury or illness.
Your lawyer has to prove that the medical professional you hired owed a fiduciary duty to act with reasonable competence and care. To prove that the relationship existed, you may require evidence such as your records of your doctor-patient relationship, eyewitness statements and expert testimony from doctors who have similar qualifications, experience and education.
Your lawyer must also prove that the medical professional violated their duty of care by not submitting to the standards of practice that are accepted in their area of expertise. This is commonly described as negligence. Your lawyer will assess the actions of the defendant to what a reasonable person would do in the same situation.
Your lawyer must also show that the defendant's breach caused direct injury or loss. This is referred to as causation, and your attorney will use evidence like your medical records, witness statements and expert testimony to demonstrate that the defendant's failure to meet the standards of care in your case was the direct cause of your injury or loss.
Breach
A doctor owes patients duties of care that are consistent with the highest standards of medical professionalism. If a physician fails to meet those standards and the failure causes injury, then medical malpractice and negligence could occur. Typically expert testimony from medical professionals who have the same training, qualifications and experience, as well as certifications and certificates will help determine what the appropriate standard of care should be in a specific situation. State and federal laws as well as institute policies also determine what doctors should do for certain types of patients.
To prevail in a malpractice lawsuit, it must be shown that the doctor violated his or duty of care and that the breach was the direct cause of injury. This is referred to in legal terms as the causation element, and it is essential that it is established. For instance in the event that a damaged arm requires an xray the doctor must properly set the arm and place it in a cast for proper healing. If the doctor did not do so and the patient was left with an irreparable loss of the use of the arm, then malpractice may have occurred.
Causation
Attorney malpractice attorneys claims rely on evidence that shows the attorney's errors caused financial losses to the client. For example the lawyer does not file an action within the timeframe of limitations, resulting in the case being lost forever and the victim could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
It is important to understand that not all mistakes by lawyers are considered to be malpractice. Strategy and planning errors aren't usually considered to be a sign of negligence. Attorneys have a wide decision-making discretion to make decisions so long as they're in the right place.
The law also gives attorneys a lot of discretion to perform discovery on the behalf of clients, so long as it was not unreasonable or negligent. Legal malpractice is committed through the failure to uncover important documents or facts, such as medical reports or witness statements. Other examples of malpractice are the failure to include certain defendants or claims, for instance failing to include a survival count for the case of wrongful death, or the repeated failure to communicate with clients.
It's also important to note that it must be established that but the negligence of the lawyer the plaintiff would have won the case. If not, the plaintiff's claims for malpractice will be denied. This requirement makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. It is important to employ an experienced attorney.
Damages
A plaintiff must demonstrate that the attorney's actions caused actual financial losses in order to win a legal malpractice suit. This can be proven in a lawsuit through evidence like expert testimony, correspondence between client and attorney along with billing records and other records. In addition the plaintiff has to prove that a reasonable lawyer would have avoided the damage caused by the attorney's negligence. This is known as the proximate cause.
It can happen in many different ways. The most frequent malpractices include: failing an expiration date or statute of limitations; not performing the necessary conflict checks on an issue; applying the law improperly to a client's specific circumstances; and violating the fiduciary obligation (i.e. the commingling of funds from a trust account with an attorney's own accounts or handling a case improperly and not communicating with the client are all examples of malpractice.
In most medical malpractice cases, the plaintiff will seek compensation damages. These compensate the victim for the out-of-pocket expenses and losses, such as hospital and medical bills, costs of equipment required to aid in healing, as well as lost wages. Victims are also able to claim non-economic damages, such as discomfort and pain as well as loss of enjoyment from their lives, and emotional anxiety.
In a lot of legal malpractice lawsuit cases, there are cases for punitive and compensatory damages. The former compensates a victim for losses resulting from the negligence of an attorney, while the latter is intended to discourage future misconduct by the defendant.
