How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
A malpractice case is one in which medical professionals fail to treat a patient according to accepted standards of care. For instance, if an orthopedic surgeon makes a mistake during surgery that causes injury to nerves in the femoral area, this could qualify as medical malpractice.
Duty of care
All medical professionals are subject to obligations to care that result from the doctor-patient relationship. That work includes taking reasonable steps to avoid injuries and to treat or alleviate a patient's illness. The doctor must also inform the patient about any potential risks associated with a particular treatment or procedure. If a doctor fails to warn the patient of the risks that are that are known to the profession could be held accountable for malpractice.
A medical professional who fails to meet their duty of caring is liable for negligence and is required to pay damages to the plaintiff. The case must be proven by showing that the defendant's behavior, or lack thereof, fell short of the standard of how other medical professionals would act in similar circumstances. This is usually proven by expert testimony.
A medical professional with experience in the relevant practices and types tests that should be used to diagnose the condition can testify the defendant's actions were in violation of the standard of care. They can also inform the jury in simple terms how the standard of medical care was not met.
A good attorney will be able to work with the most qualified experts. Not all medical professionals have the necessary qualifications to handle on malpractice claims. In more complex cases, it may be necessary for the expert witness to provide detailed reports and be able to testify in the courtroom.
Breach of duty
Determining the standard of care and showing that the medical professional violated it is the premise of all malpractice cases. This is usually done by getting expert testimony from doctors who have similar skills, training and experience as the alleged negligent physician.
The standards of care are basically what other medical professionals in your situation would offer to treat you. Doctors owe their patients a duty of care to act in a prudent manner and with a sense of prudence when treating a patient. This duty of care carries over to their patients' loved family members. It doesn't mean medical professionals are not required to act as good samaritans outside the hospital.
If a medical professional breaches his or her duty of care, and you suffer injury then they are accountable for the injuries. In addition the plaintiff must show that their injury was directly attributed to the breach. For instance, if the defendant surgeon does not read the chart of their patient and then operates on the wrong leg, causing an injury, this is most likely negligence.
It is important to remember that it is possible to determine the root reason for your injury. For instance when a surgical sponge was left behind after a gallbladder procedure, it's hard to demonstrate that the patient's issues were directly caused by the procedure.
Causation
A doctor can only be held accountable for malpractice if the patient can prove that the physician's negligence caused the injury. This is known as "cause". It is important to remember that a negative consequence of a treatment is not necessarily medical malpractice. The plaintiff must prove that the doctor erred from the standard of care normally followed in similar cases.
It is the doctor's responsibility to inform the patient of the potential risks and results of a procedure, including the likelihood of success. If a patient has not been fully informed about the risks, they may choose to defer the procedure in favor of a different option. This is known as the obligation of informed consent.
The framework of the legal system for handling medical malpractice cases evolved from English common law in the 19th century. It is regulated by state statutes and court decisions.
To bring a lawsuit against a doctor, you must make an official complaint or summons in a state's court. This document sets forth the allegations of wrongdoing, and demands compensation for any injuries caused by the physician's conduct. The attorney for the plaintiff has to schedule a deposition under oath of the defendant physician, which gives the plaintiff the opportunity to give testimony. The deposition will be recorded and used as evidence at the trial.
Damages
A patient who believes a physician has committed medical malpractice could file an action with a court. A plaintiff must establish four elements to support a claim of malpractice: a legal obligation to adhere to the standards of practice within the profession and a breach of this obligation; an injury resulting by the breach and damages that are reasonably connected to the injury.
Medical malpractice cases require expert testimony. In most cases, the attorney for the defendant will initiate discovery, in which the parties request written interrogatories or requests for production of documents. The opposing party is expected to answer these questions as well as to submit under an oath. This process can be a long and drawn-out one, and the attorneys on both sides will be able to present experts to provide evidence.
The plaintiff also has to prove that the negligence caused significant damages. This is because it could be expensive to pursue a malpractice attorneys case. If the damage is small, it might not be worth the effort to start an action. Additionally, the amount of the damages must be greater than the amount of bringing the suit. In this regard, it is essential for a patient to consult with an experienced Board Certified legal malpractice attorney before filing a lawsuit. After a trial has concluded either the winning or losing party may appeal the decision of the lower court. During an appeal, a higher court will look at the evidence and decide if the lower court made any errors in fact or law.
