How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
A malpractice case is one in which a medical professional fails to treat a patient according with the accepted standards of medical care. For instance when an orthopedic surgeon makes a mistake during surgery that causes damage to the nerves in the femoral area, it could be considered medical malpractice.
Duty of care
All medical professionals are bound by a duty to care arising from the doctor-patient relationship. That work includes taking reasonable measures to prevent injury and to treat or ease the symptoms of a patient's illness. The doctor should also inform the patient about any risks that are associated with treatment or procedure. A doctor who does not warn the patient about risks associated with their profession could be held liable for malpractice law.
If a medical professional fails to meet their obligation to care, they can be held accountable for negligence and Malpractice law must pay damages to the plaintiff. This element of the case must be proven by proving that the defendant's actions, or lack thereof, fell short of the standard of what other medical professionals would do in similar circumstances. This is usually demonstrated through expert testimony.
A medical professional with experience in the relevant practices and kinds of tests that should be used to diagnose the condition can testify the defendant's actions were in violation of the standard of care. They can also explain to a jury in simple terms what the standard of care was violated.
A good attorney will know how to work with the most competent experts. Not all medical professionals have the qualifications to work on malpractice claims. In more complex cases experts may be required to provide detailed reports as well as be available to testify at the court.
Breach of duty
All malpractice cases are built on defining the standard of care, and then proving that the medical professional violated the standard. This is usually done by seeking expert evidence from doctors with similar qualifications, training and expertise as the negligent doctor.
The standard of care is what other medical professionals in your situation would do to treat you. Doctors have a responsibility to their patients to treat them with care and in a reasonable manner. This duty of care carries over to their loved family members. But, this doesn't mean that medical professionals have a duty to act as good Samaritans outside the hospital.
If a medical professional breaches his or his duty of care and you suffer harm the medical professional is responsible for the injuries. The plaintiff must establish that the breach directly caused the injury. For instance, if a surgeon who is the defendant misreads their patient's chart and then operates on the wrong leg, causing an injury, it's likely that they were negligent.
It is important to remember that it may be difficult to prove the reason for your injury. It is difficult to prove that a surgical sponge left behind following gallbladder surgeries caused the patient's injuries.
Causation
A doctor can be held liable for negligence only if the patient can prove that the physician's negligence directly led to injury. This is referred to as "cause". It is important to note that a negative outcome of an operation is not always medical malpractice. The plaintiff must prove that the doctor did not follow the standards of care in similar cases.
It is the responsibility of a doctor to inform the patient of all potential risks and outcomes of a procedure, including its success rate. If a patient has not been adequately informed of the risks, they might have opted out of the procedure, and instead choose an alternative. This is known as the duty of informed consent.
The legal system's framework for handling medical malpractice claims evolved from 19th century English common law, and is governed by court rulings and legislative statutes which differ between states.
To be able to sue a doctor, one must make an official complaint or summons to a state's court. This document outlines the claimed wrongs and seeks compensation for injuries caused by a physician's actions. The plaintiff's attorney must then schedule a deposition for the defendant doctor under oath. This provides an opportunity for the plaintiff's attorney to present testimony. The deposition will be recorded and used as evidence at the trial.
Damages
A patient who believes a doctor has committed medical malpractice claim may make a claim in a court. A plaintiff must establish four elements in order to have a valid claim of malpractice: a legal obligation to act within the standards of the profession; a breach of that duty; an injury caused by the breach and damages reasonable and directly related to the injuries.
Medical malpractice cases require experts testimony. Lawyers for the defendant often engage in discovery where the parties ask for written interrogatories, as well as documents. These are queries and requests for tangible evidence which the opposing party must be able to answer under oath. This procedure can be a lengthy and drawn out one, and the attorneys for both sides will bring experts to be witnesses.
The plaintiff should also demonstrate that negligence caused substantial damages. This is because it could be expensive to pursue a malpractice claim. A lawsuit may not be worth it in the case of minor damages. The amount of damages must also be greater than the expense to file the lawsuit. Therefore, it is essential that a patient consult with an experienced Board Certified legal malpractice legal attorney before making a claim. After a trial has concluded either the losing or winning party can appeal the decision of a lower court. In an appeal, a higher court will review the record and decide if the lower court made any mistakes in law or fact.
