How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
Medical malpractice cases can be complicated. Fortunately, an experienced lawyer can assist you in understanding your legal rights and navigate through this complicated procedure.
To file a claim for medical malpractice, you must prove that your physician or another healthcare professional violated their duty of care towards you. The breach could have resulted in an adverse legal outcome for you, such as an unfavorable medical outcome or financial loss.
Birth defects
The birth of a child is an joyful time for parents. Unfortunately, medical issues could occur during this time. Birth defects such as the cleft lip, missing limbs, congenital heart disease, and muscular dystrophy are all a concern. It is possible to make a claim for malpractice when a doctor's negligence has caused these conditions during pregnancy or delivery.
Birth problems can be caused by many factors, including exposure to toxic chemicals or prescription medications as well as environmental factors and problems with prenatal care. The physician's responsibility to ensure the well-being and wellbeing of the mother and fetus involves performing proper screening tests, detecting and treating anomalies during pregnancy and conducting the appropriate tests for screening.
Medical experts must determine if a doctor's error caused fatal injury or death as a result of not diagnosing or treating the condition. To prove negligence, an expert has to review the standards of care that a physician would have followed in similar circumstances, and prove that the doctor did not follow that standard and consequently caused the injury or death.
It is crucial to speak to any eyewitnesses and collect evidence at the site of the accident. This can include witnesses at the hospital as well as other patients or their families, nurses and more. You must also take photos of your child's injuries to show how serious they are.
Maternal deaths
Every year, between 700 and 900 women die each year as a result of complications arising from pregnancy or childbirth. This is an alarming number especially in a third-world country like the United States. USA Today recently reported that many of these deaths could have been avoided by better medical care in hospitals.
Some of the reasons for maternal deaths include obstetric emergencies which include bleeding severe during delivery or a hemorrhage afterward or pre-existing health conditions like obesity and diabetes that can affect the birth of a child and pregnancy. However doctors also have a responsibility to monitor and take care of warning signs, like high blood pressure that could cause the deadly condition known as preeclampsia. Preeclampsia can cause premature separation of the placenta from the uterus and seizures. It can also trigger a life-threatening condition called HELLP Syndrome.
In the United States, medical malpractice claims involving obstetrics or gynecology is one of the most common types of lawsuits. In a malpractice lawsuit the plaintiff has to prove that a doctor or healthcare provider violated an accepted standard of care that led to the plaintiff to be injured or even die. The legal community determines the standard of care, which differs from one state to the next. Despite the large number of malpractice lawsuits, most of them settle without ever going to trial. A settlement is typically reached through direct negotiations between the parties, and frequently involves the assistance of a neutral third party, like a mediator (often retired judges or lawyers). Medical malpractice suits are not able to stop a doctor from practicing immediately.
Injuries as a result of surgery
While medical advances have dramatically reduced the likelihood of adverse outcomes, they do occur. If they do, they usually result in serious injuries. These injuries aren't just unpleasant and uncomfortable, they can also lead to expensive corrective surgeries, high medical costs as well as extended recovery time or even death.
There are many surgical errors that can be considered malpractice, but. To prove a claim, it must be proven that a healthcare provider did not adhere to the standard of care in an operation and this failure resulted in injury. Medical malpractice may include:
Incorrect-site surgeries, in which the surgeon performs surgery on a body part that is different than what was intended, leaving a sponge, scalpel or other object inside the patient, which can cause puncture or nicking a nerve or organ, causing infections because of inadequately cleaned and sanitized equipment or instruments.
A lawsuit based on a surgical error is a complicated issue and you should seek the advice from an experienced attorney who is knowledgeable about medical malpractice. It's also important to record any injuries you sustain including photographs, and take note of any details that you think might be relevant to your claim. A lawsuit for a surgical error can take years to resolve, however it's worth the effort if your doctor made a error that caused you to be injured. This is especially true if your injuries are severe and have a significant impact on your living quality.
Wrongful death
The loss of a loved one can be extremely stressful, but if the death is due to the negligence of someone else the experience can be extremely painful. Depending on state law it is possible to file a claim against that party to seek compensation for your loss.
A wrongful death case is distinct from a medical malpractice claim because it concerns a person's life instead of their health. The standard of proof is therefore higher. It must be proven beyond reasonable doubt that the death of your loved one was caused by negligence on the part another party.
For example, Joan's husband died of lung cancer that was not found on an x-ray. The cause of his death was a doctor who failed to observe the symptoms of his patient and perform an MRI when the patient was experiencing trouble breathing. The delay in treatment allowed the tumor to grow and cause irreparable damage.
In this scenario the family members of the patient may bring a wrongful-death claim against the doctor and hospital. Similar to a medical malpractice claim, the type of damages that can be sought is based on your state's laws. They can include both economic and non-economic damages, including funeral expenses, loss of consortium and suffering prior to the victim's death. Punitive damages are a possibility in wrongful-death claims. This amount isn't included in all cases, however it's an option in the event that the death of the victim was particularly inexplicably egregious or as a result of multiple mistakes.
