How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Medical malpractice lawsuits can be a bit complicated. There are certain guidelines to be followed, which include the time frame within which the lawsuit may be filed.
In addition to proving negligence, the claimant must show that the actions of the doctor resulted in injuries and losses. This will require hospital and medical records.
Complaint
After your attorney's investigation has revealed evidence that a malpractice occurred, he or she will file a complaint in court along with summons. The complaint identifies the defendants in the case and outlines the allegations you are making against them.
Malpractice claims are based on the premise that doctors, nurses or other healthcare providers owe a patient an appropriate level of care. This standard is the level of competence and care an appropriately prudent doctor with the same training would employ in similar situations. Your legal team must show that your doctor did not adhere to this standard and resulted in you suffering quantifiable damages.
The standard of care a physician provides is usually a matter of opinion, and it is difficult to prove. This is why it is important to hire a law firm that has access to experts who can give testimony on the medical field and what an experienced professional in the same situation as your doctor would have done.
It's not just doctors who make mistakes in their medical practice; hospital staff members, such as nurses and anesthesiologists are susceptible to making mistakes. This is particularly true for emergency room staff where mistakes are usually made due to a busy environment and overworked staff. Your lawyer may be in a position to secure experts from emergency room personnel who can provide evidence of what should have happened and how your doctor failed to meet this standard.
Discovery

This includes medical records, witness statements, expert testimony, and more. The information may be requested by the opposing legal team. This is typically done via inquiries and requests for production of documents. Certain materials could be protected and confidential because of privacy laws, like HIPAA's Privacy Rule.
It is also necessary to prove that your injury was caused by the doctor's negligence. This is the most challenging aspect of a medical negligence case as it requires expert witness testimony that supports your claim.
Your lawyer will also question witnesses who can prove that the doctor's actions were negligent. This could include nurses, assistants radiologists, dentists, and others who were involved in your treatment. Your attorney will be skilled in taking effective and convincing depositions to convince these witnesses to admit that the doctor's negligence was not their fault.
Most lawsuits are resolved, or settled, prior to reaching the trial stage. For medical malpractice cases this is particularly common since the cost of going to trial can be expensive. Once the facts of your case are established, a settlement may be reached between you and the insurer of your doctor. If a settlement is not reached, your case may go to trial.
Trial
Your attorney will file a complaint following having completed the initial investigation. If they find that you have a compelling case for malpractice, they will file the complaint. This will clearly state the allegations and will be given to the defendant in the summons.
The next stage is discovery. The next stage involves discovery. This includes depositions and exchange of witnesses. Your lawyer will make use of the evidence to show that your doctor violated the standards of care. The objective is to prove that the error was caused by the negligence of the doctor, and caused damage.
In addition to the witness's testimony Alongside the statement of the witness, your medical malpractice attorney will also work with two or more experts to support your claim. They will be provided with medical records as well as detailed information about your case in preparation for their deposition and testify. They can also assist in preparing your case for trial.
As part of the preparation for trial, your attorney will begin negotiations for settlement with the defense. This process could last for several years. During this period, you will be recovering from your injuries and determining the extent and value of your damages. When you can, it's in everyone’s best interest to avoid litigation and settle out of court. Your attorney will carefully compare the merits of any settlement proposal with your current and future settlement. If the settlement offer is reasonable the lawyer will encourage to accept it.
Damages
During the discovery phase, plaintiffs need to prove that their losses are significant and that the negligence of the defendant contributed to these losses. For example, if the doctor did not inform the patient that a surgery was a 30 percent risk of losing a limb and the procedure was completed perfectly but the patient lost their arm or limb, the doctor could be held accountable for malpractice law firms.
In order to have a legitimate legal action, the defendant must also prove that a competent lawyer would have been able to stop their financial loss or at a minimum, lessen the amount. This is commonly referred to as the "but for" test. It is also essential to show that the plaintiff has incurred costs in the pursuit of a successful legal claim, which are more than the amount sought in compensation.
Our medical malpractice attorneys can explain the various types of damages granted in a malpractice case, including past, current and future medical expenses, as in addition to loss of income, pain and discomfort, and other non-economic loss. The greater the amount of money awarded the more serious the injury. However, a successful verdict is sometimes overturned in appeal. Therefore, settling the case outside of court may be an advantageous option for some clients. It can save money and time in litigation fees. It also eliminates the risk of a juror ruling on a case based upon emotion instead of fact.
