How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Both lawyers and doctors have to invest a lot of time and money in many medical malpractice lawsuits. This includes attorney time, court fees expert witness fees, court costs and other expenses.
A medical malpractice lawsuit can be filed when a healthcare professional is negligent, has committed misconduct or committed a mistake or acted in a way that was not. The injured party may be able to seek compensation damages, which could include actual economic loss, such as the past and future medical bills, and noneconomic losses such as pain and suffering.
Complaint
A medical malpractice case is a complicated one and requires proof of credibility to be able to prevail. The injured patient (or their attorney if they've lost their claim) must demonstrate each of the following legal elements of the claim:
The hospital or doctor was bound to follow the applicable standard of care. The defendant violated this duty. The breach directly caused injury to the plaintiff. This element is known as "cause". A breach of a standard of care will not directly cause injury. It must be demonstrated that it directly caused the injury and was the primary reason for the injury.
It is often necessary to file a formal complaint to a state medical board in order to safeguard the rights of the patient and to ensure that the doctor doesn't commit additional mistakes. However, filing a complaint is not a way to start a lawsuit and is often just a step towards getting the malpractice case moving. It is recommended to speak with an Syracuse malpractice attorney prior to filing any report or document.
Summons
As part of the legal process, an order or claim form is filed with the court and then handed to the doctor who is the defendant. A lawyer for the plaintiff appointed by the court will review these documents. If it is determined that there is a malpractice case the lawyer will file an affidavit and a complaint with the court, describing the claimed mistake.
The next step in the legal process is to obtain evidence through pretrial discovery. This includes filing requests for documents such as hospital bills and clinic notes, and taking depositions of the doctor who is defending the case. Attorneys will then inquire with the defendant under oath regarding the details of the case.
The information provided will be used by the plaintiff's lawyer to establish the elements of a claim for medical negligence in the course of trial. The elements of a medical malpractice case include the existence of an obligation on the part of the physician to provide medical and treatment to patients, the doctor's failure to fulfill this duty as well as a causal connection between the breach and the injury or death of the patient and an amount of damages sufficient to warrant a monetary award.
Discovery
During the discovery phase during the discovery phase, both parties are able to request any evidence relevant to their case. This includes medical records prior to and following the suspected malpractice, information on experts as well as copies of tax returns or other documentation related to out-of-pocket expenses the plaintiff claims were incurred as well as the names and contact details for any witnesses who appear at trial.
There are many states with a statute of limitations which limits the amount of amount of time a patient can seek compensation for injuries caused by an error in medical care. Those time limits are usually determined by state law, and are subject to rules called the "discovery rule."
To win a medical malpractice case an injured victim must prove that the doctor's negligence caused harm to a specific person, such as physical pain or loss of income. They must also prove causation i.e. that the negligent treatment caused their death or injury.
Deposition
Depositions are question and answer sessions conducted in the presence of an official court reporter who records both the questions and answers. The deposition is part of the discovery process, which consists of gathering information that can be used in a trial.
Depositions permit attorneys to ask witnesses, typically doctors to answer a set of questions. When a physician is deposed they must answer all questions in a straight and honest manner under an oath. Usually, the physician is initially questioned by an attorney and later interrogated by a different attorney. This is a crucial phase of the case and requires the complete attention and focus of the physician.
A deposition is a fantastic opportunity for lawyers to gather an extensive background on the doctor, including his education, training and experience. This information is crucial to prove that the doctor did not meet the standard of care in your situation and that the breach directly caused you harm. Physicians who have been educated in the area will often be able to prove they have experience in performing certain procedures and techniques that may be relevant to a particular medical malpractice case.
Trial
Your lawyer will file a complaint with the court and a summons. This begins a legal process of disclosure, also known as discovery, which is where you and your doctor's team work together to gather information to prove your case. This evidence usually comprises medical records and testimony from an expert witness.
To prove malpractice, you must establish that the actions of your doctor did not meet the standards of care. Your lawyer must convince jurors that it is more likely than not your injuries wouldn't have occurred if your physician acted according to the standard of care. Your doctor's lawyers will present arguments that do not agree with the evidence provided by your attorney.
Despite folklore suggesting that doctors are targets for frivolous malpractice claims decades of research on the subject shows that jury verdicts usually reflect reasonable judgments about the extent of negligence and damages, and that juries are skeptical about inflated damage awards. The majority of malpractice cases settle before trial.
