Medical Malpractice Law
Medical errors can happen even with the best education or a sworn oath of not causing harm to others. When medical errors are made the consequences for patients can be devastating.
The area of malpractice law is one of tort law that deals specifically with professional negligence. A malpractice suit must satisfy four main requirements.
Malpractice claims in the United States are typically filed in state trial courts. Extensive legal tools, including depositions under oath, are employed in order to collect evidence for the case.
Duty of care
A doctor is bound by the duty of care if you have a patient-doctor relationship. This is true regardless of whether the doctor is treating you in a hospital or at your own home. However, there are situations where doctors could be liable for malpractice attorneys even without the existence of a doctor-patient relationship.
A person who owes an obligation of accountability must behave in the same manner as a reasonable person in the circumstances. A driver, for instance is bound by a duty of care to drive in a safe manner and not to cause injury to other road users. If the driver is not able to meet this duty and causes an injury, he or her is liable for any injuries that occur as a result.
Doctors are accountable for the care of their patients at all times. This includes when doctors are not your doctor, like when you ask a doctor for advice in an elevator or outside of the restaurant. However, the obligation to be a good Samaritan is often governed by Good Samaritan laws.
Medical professionals are also required to take care to inform their patients about the risks that are associated with certain procedures and treatments. If they fail to do so, it is a violation of the duty of care owed to doctors. A doctor may also be in breach of their duty of care if they provide you medication that is known to interact with other medications that you are taking.
Breach of duty
In general, doctors are under the obligation to their patients to provide their patients with medical treatment that is consistent with accepted standards of practice. This standard is established by the laws of today as well as by standards developed by medical associations. When a doctor violates this duty they are acting negligently. A malpractice lawyer will review the evidence to determine whether the standard of care was violated.
A doctor can violate their duty of care in numerous ways. It is not just a question of whether they have done something normal people wouldn't do in the same circumstance; it also includes what they could have done and didn't do. In most cases, it requires expert witness testimony to determine what the accepted medical standard of care would have been.
A doctor might have violated their responsibilities if they prescribe the medication that is dangerously incompatible with another medication. This is a frequent error which can have serious health consequences.
However, just proving that a breach of duty occurred is not enough to prove malpractice. To be awarded damages, you must prove an immediate link between the doctor's breach of duty and your injury or illness. This is known as causation. This can be a complicated connection to make in some instances, but a skilled malpractice lawyer will work hard to uncover the evidence needed to establish the connection.
Causation
A malpractice case is only valid validity when the plaintiff can prove that the defendant's wrongful actions caused the injuries and losses. Proving medical negligence requires the use of experts to prove that a patient-provider relationship existed and that the provider breached the accepted standard of care. It is crucial that the victim's injuries must be directly related to the incident or omission that violated the standard of medical care. This is called causality or proximate cause.
It is important to demonstrate that the negligence of the attorney caused significant negative consequences for you when you are proving that the attorney committed legal negligence. A lawsuit can be expensive and you must prove that your losses are greater than the cost of litigation. The plaintiff must also prove that the negligence resulted in actual and measurable damage.
Most malpractice attorney cases are subject to the discovery process, which includes oral depositions. Your lawyer can represent your interests at these depositions. They will question experts for defense to challenge their conclusions, and to prove that the evidence supports the allegations. A medical malpractice lawyer with experience is essential to your case since establishing the four elements, including duty breach, causation and harm, can be complicated and time consuming. Your lawyer is familiar with every step in the process and will ensure that to meet all the requirements. The more steps you take the higher your chance of winning.
Damages
The amount of compensation that a patient will receive in a medical malpractice case will depend on the severity their injuries, as well as how much money they will need to pay for medical expenses, lost income, or any other financial loss. In some instances there may be punitive damages awarded to the plaintiff in retaliation for the doctor's behavior. These are very rare, as doctors must have acted recklessly or with the intention of receiving punitive damages.
Anyone who asserts medical negligence must prove four elements legal requirements. These are: (1) that the doctor was bound by a duty of taking care of patients; (2) that the doctor violated the obligation by ignoring the standard of practice in place; (3) the victim was injured as a result and (4) the damage is quantifiable. Additionally the injured party must bring a lawsuit within the time limit that varies from state to state.
The law recognizes that medical malpractice claims are complex and costly to resolve, especially when they are based on complicated issues like proximate causes or predictability. The goal of the law is to ensure that victims receive the justice they deserve, without allowing frivolous and opportunistic lawsuits to block courts. It also seeks to reduce costs by having all defendants take responsibility for the success of a claim (joint-and-several responsibility) as well as restricting the amount plaintiffs can recover in the event that the other defendants are not able to pay ("damage cap") as well as prohibiting doctors from practicing defensive medicine which requires them to alter their treatment plans in response to the threat or malpractice lawsuits.
