Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys have a fiduciary responsibilities to their clients, and are required to act with skill, diligence and care. Attorneys make mistakes, just like every other professional.
Some errors made by attorneys are malpractice. To prove legal negligence the aggrieved party must prove obligation, breach of duty, causation, and damage. Let's look at each of these elements.
Duty
Doctors and medical professionals take the oath of using their expertise and knowledge to treat patients, not causing further harm. The legal right of a patient to receive compensation for injuries resulting from medical malpractice rests on the notion of the duty of care. Your attorney can help you determine whether or not your doctor's actions violated the duty of care, and whether the breach caused injury or illness to you.
To establish a duty of care, your lawyer will need to show that a medical professional had an official relationship with you in which they owed you a fiduciary responsibility to exercise a reasonable level of competence and care. This relationship may be proven by eyewitness testimony of witnesses, doctor-patient documents and expert testimony from doctors with similar educational, experience and training.
Your lawyer must also show that the medical professional violated their duty of care by not submitting to the accepted standards of practice in their field. This is often referred to as negligence. Your lawyer will evaluate the defendant's conduct to what a reasonable person would perform in the same situation.
Your lawyer must also show that the defendant's breach directly contributed to your injury or loss. This is known as causation. Your lawyer will make use of evidence, such as your doctor/patient reports, witness testimony and expert testimony, to demonstrate that the defendant's failure to meet the standard of care was the main cause of injury or loss to you.
Breach
A doctor has a duty to patients of care that adhere to professional medical standards. If a doctor fails to meet those standards and the failure results in injury, medical malpractice and negligence may occur. Expert evidence from medical professionals who have similar training, certifications or experience can help determine the quality of care for a specific situation. Federal and state laws and institute policies also help determine what doctors are required to do for specific types of patients.
In order to win a malpractice claim it must be proven that the doctor breached his or his duty of care and that this breach was the direct cause of injury. In legal terms, this is referred to as the causation component and it is vital to establish. For instance, if a broken arm requires an xray the doctor has to properly place the arm and put it in a cast to ensure proper healing. If the doctor is unable to perform this, and the patient suffers a permanent loss in use of the arm, then malpractice may be at play.
Causation
Attorney malpractice lawyers claims rely on evidence that demonstrates that the attorney's errors resulted in financial losses for the client. For example when a lawyer fails to file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations, which results in the case being lost for ever, the injured party could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
It is crucial to realize that not all mistakes by lawyers are considered to be malpractice. Strategy and planning errors aren't usually considered to be a sign of malpractice. Attorneys have a broad decision-making discretion to make decisions so long as they're rational.
The law also grants attorneys an enormous amount of discretion to not conduct discovery for a client, so long as the failure was not unreasonable or negligent. The failure to discover crucial details or documents, such as witness statements or medical reports can be a case of legal malpractice. Other examples of malpractice are the inability to add certain defendants or claims, like forgetting a survival count for a wrongful-death case, or the repeated failure to communicate with clients.
It's also important to keep in mind that it must be established that if it weren't for the lawyer's negligence, the plaintiff would have won the underlying case. In the event that it is not, the plaintiff's claim for malpractice attorney will be denied. This requirement makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. It's important to find an experienced attorney to represent you.
Damages
To win a legal malpractice lawsuit a plaintiff must demonstrate actual financial losses caused by the actions of an attorney. This has to be demonstrated in a lawsuit with evidence such as expert testimony, correspondence between the client and attorney, billing records and other documentation. In addition, the plaintiff must prove that a reasonable lawyer would have prevented the damage caused by the negligence of the attorney. This is referred to as proximate causation.
The causes of malpractice vary. Some of the more common types of malpractice include the failure to meet a deadline, for example, the statute of limitation, failure to conduct a check on conflicts or other due diligence of a case, improperly applying the law to a client's case and breaching a fiduciary responsibility (i.e. the commingling of trust account funds with attorney's personal accounts), mishandling of a case, and failing to communicate with clients.
In the majority of medical malpractice cases, the plaintiff will seek compensatory damages. The compensations pay for expenses out of pocket and expenses like medical and hospitals bills, costs of equipment to aid in recovery and lost wages. In addition, the victims can be able to claim non-economic damages such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life and emotional suffering.
In many legal malpractice cases there are claims for punitive or compensatory damages. The first is meant to compensate the victim for the damages caused by the attorney's negligence while the latter is meant to prevent future mistakes on the defendant's part.
