Medical Malpractice Litigation
Medical malpractice litigation can be complex and time-consuming. Both defendants and plaintiffs are also required to pay a substantial cost.
To receive compensation in the form of monetary damages for malpractice, the patient must prove that the substandard medical treatment he received led to his injury. This requires establishing four pillars of law which include professional obligation breach of this obligation, injury and damages.
Discovery
The most important part of a case involving medical negligence is gathering evidence. This can be done by means of written interrogatories or requests for documents. Interrogatories are questions that need to be answered under an oath by the opposition to the lawsuit. They are used to establish the facts needed to be presented in court. Requests for documents can be used to get tangible items, for example, medical records and test results.
In many instances, your lawyer will take the defendant physician's deposition which is an audio recording of a question and answer session. This allows your attorney to ask the witness or doctor questions that might not have been allowed at trial. It can be very useful in cases with expert witnesses.
The information gathered during pre-trial discovery is used in court to establish the following elements of your claim:
Infraction to the standard of care
Injuries resulting from a breach of the standard care
Proximate cause
Inability of a doctor to apply the expertise and knowledge held by doctors in their field. This caused injury or harm to the patient
Mediation
Medical malpractice trials can be necessary but they also have many drawbacks. For plaintiffs the pressure, cost, and time commitment of a trial can result in a negative psychological impact on them. A trial can cause embarrassment and a loss of status for defendant health care professionals. It can also have negative impacts on their professional career and practice since the financial payments they receive as part of a settlement prior to trial are reported to national databases of practitioners as well as the state medical licensing board and the medical societies.
Mediation is the most cost-effective, efficient, and risk-effective method of resolving an injury claim. The parties can negotiate more freely since they avoid the costs of a trial, and the potential for the verdicts of juries to be undermined.
Each side must submit an overview of the case to the mediator before mediation (a "mediation brief"). At this stage, the parties will usually communicate through their lawyer and not directly. Direct communication could be used as evidence in court. If the mediation continues it's a good idea to focus on your case's strengths and be willing to admit its weaknesses. This will assist the mediator to overcome any misunderstandings and make reasonable offers.
Trial
The goal of tort reformers is to establish a system that compensates those who have been injured by medical negligence in a timely manner and without a large cost. While this is a problem several states have implemented tort reforms to reduce expenses and to prevent frivolous medical malpractice attorney malpractice claims.
The majority of physicians in the United States carry malpractice insurance to safeguard themselves against claims of professional negligence medical instances. Some of these policies may be required by a medical or hospital group as a condition for permissions.
In order to receive compensation for injuries caused by negligence of a medical professional, the patient who has suffered injury must prove that the doctor failed to meet the standards of care applicable to his or her profession. This concept is known as proximate causation and is a crucial element of a medical malpractice lawsuit.
A lawsuit is initiated when a civil summons is filed in the court of your choice. Following this the parties must participate in a disclosure process. This includes written interrogatories as well as the creation of documents such as medical records. Also, it involves depositions (deponents are interrogated by attorneys under an oath) and requests for admission which are declarations that one side wants the other side to admit, either in full or in part.

Damages are determined based on economic losses (such as lost income or the cost of future medical treatment) and non-economic damages, like pain and discomfort. It is crucial to work with a seasoned lawyer when you are trying to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.
Settlement
Settlements are the simplest way to resolve medical malpractice lawsuits. In general, the actual dollar value of a case is negotiated between the plaintiff and the defendants (often through or alongside the defendant's malpractice/professional liability insurer). The result is a check for the injured patient, which is then given to the lawyer of the plaintiff who deposit it into an Escrow account. The attorney then deducts case expenses and legal fees per the representation agreement, and gives the injured patient their compensation.

The United States has a system of 94 federal district courts, which are essentially state trial courts. And each of these courts has an appointed judge and jury panel that hears cases. In certain instances the case of medical negligence may be transferred to one of these federal district courts.

Doctors must be aware of the structure and functioning of our legal system in order that they can react in a timely manner to claims made against them.
