Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
The legal process for defending malpractice is a complex process. If a patient can demonstrate four elements, it will decide whether or not the mistake is a case of malpractice. These are professional obligation; a breach of that duty; an injury resulting from the breach; and quantifiable damages.
Plaintiffs must also prove the elements using evidence like expert testimony and depositions.
The wrong diagnosis or the inability to diagnose
Inability to recognize an injury or illness correctly could lead to serious complications, or death. It is a typical reason for medical negligence. To establish negligence, a patient or their lawyer must prove that a qualified doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed the condition.
Misdiagnosis does not always constitute negligence. Even the most experienced and highly trained doctors make mistakes, and a claim of malpractice law firm must be backed by other elements like breach, proximate causation, and actual injury. For example when a doctor does not take the time to clean their equipment prior the time they administer anesthesia and the patient develops an infection in the process the doctor may be guilty of malpractice.
In most instances, lawsuits claiming malpractice will be filed in the state trial court where the malpractice was alleged to have occurred. Federal courts can however have jurisdiction in certain circumstances. A case may be brought before a federal court in certain circumstances. For example it could be a dispute about the statute of limitations or if the parties are of different citizenships. Some claims are settled by arbitration that is binding and voluntary. This is a less formal process that involves professionals who make the decisions. It is intended to save costs, expedite legal proceedings and remove the possibility of excessively generous juries. Arbitration is not available in all instances of malpractice.
Wrong Drug Dosage
Medication errors, also known as medication mistakes, are one of the most frequent causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. These errors can be caused by a doctor writing prescriptions in the wrong format or giving the patient the incorrect dosage. These mistakes are usually avoidable. Based on the circumstances, a hospital or its staff, a pharmacist or other health care provider may be held liable for the injuries suffered by a patient who was given the wrong dose of medication.
A doctor might prescribe the wrong medication to a patient because of an incorrect diagnosis or simply by misreading the prescription. A health care professional could also administer the wrong dose due to an inability to communicate, such as when a nurse reads the doctor's handwritten prescription incorrectly or the pharmacist is mistaken in filling out the prescription. In other situations doctors may delay the administration of the correct medication to the patient, which could result in the patient's condition getting worse.
A victim must prove, in order to prevail on a malpractice claim that the medical professional breached their professional standards and that their injuries were directly caused by the negligence. This requires medical experts to provide evidence. In addition, a medical mishap case must establish the severity of the injuries suffered by a victim and the damage they sustained as a result of the negligence. This includes the cost of treatment and any lost wage. The more loss you suffer, the higher the value of the claim.
Incorrect Procedure
This type of incident is not uncommon. It might seem impossible for medical professionals to carry out the wrong procedure on patients, however, it is a reality. The surgeon who commits this error may be held to be liable for negligence. A patient who suffers injury as a result of an error during surgery may be held accountable for any error that occurred during the procedure.
A health care professional who is accused of malpractice has to prove that a patient was injured by the specific act or failure to take action. To prove this, the legal team of the patient must show: (1) that the doctor was legally obligated to provide treatment or care to the patient; (2) that he violated his duty; (3) that a causal link exists between the breach and the injury; and (4) the injury results in damages the legal system could address.
A breach of the duty of care is not relevant unless it causes injury, this is why medical malpractice lawsuits are generally based on a legal doctrine known as "res ipsa loquitur." This law says that, in a lot of instances, certain injuries are so obvious and recognizable that they are only explained by negligence.
Based on the circumstances the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim, or their legal representative) or their lawyer can choose to file either in state or federal court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state court. However, under certain circumstances medical malpractice lawsuits can be brought in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
A wrong-site procedure is a rare error, but it can be considered medical negligence if the procedure is performed on the wrong side of the body. This kind of error is usually the result of miscommunication between the members of a surgical team, or production pressure that leads to the surgeon being assigned multiple surgeries at one time. In these instances the surgeon isn't all-in on his responsibility for a surgical error that is not performed correctly since there is an underlying legal principle referred to as "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the outcome of the error speaks for itself and can be attributed to negligence.
If a patient gets injured during surgery that is performed on the wrong site, he or she may require additional procedures to correct problems that are aggravated due to the surgical error. Patients and their families are left with high medical bills. These expenses must be considered when calculating the financial impact of medical malpractice claims.
The majority of times surgeons are liable for surgical errors. They are accountable in preparing the patient for surgery, reviewing the chart and medical records of the patient, coordinating with the medical staff, and ensuring that the incision was made in the proper location. However, in some instances hospitals or anesthesiologists may also be liable. Medical malpractice claims are generally filed in state courts, but can be transferred under certain circumstances to federal court.
