Making Medical Malpractice Legal
Medical malpractice is a difficult legal field. Physicians should take precautions to safeguard themselves from liability by purchasing adequate medical malpractice insurance.
Patients must prove that the physician's breach of duty caused injury to them. Damages are dependent on economic losses, such as lost income, future medical expenses as well as non-economic losses, such as discomfort and pain.
Duty of care
The duty of care is the first element a medical malpractice lawyer must establish in a case. All healthcare professionals owe their patients a duty to act according to the current standards of care in their specific field. This includes doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals. This includes medical students, interns, and assistants who work under supervision of a physician or doctor.
The standard of care is determined by an expert witness from medical in court. They review the medical malpractice law firm records to determine what a qualified physician in the same field would have done under similar circumstances.
If the healthcare professional's or their conduct fell below the standard, they have breached duty of care, and resulted in injury. The injured patient then has to demonstrate that the breach of duty by the healthcare professional directly triggered their loss. This can include scarring, injury, or pain. They can also include financial losses, such as medical expenses and lost wages.
For instance when a surgeon has left a surgical instrument inside the patient after surgery, it could cause discomfort and other issues that result in damage. A medical malpractice lawyer can establish through the testimony of a medical expert that the surgical team's negligence resulted in these damage. This is referred to as direct causation. The patient must also show evidence of their damages.
Breach of duty
A malpractice lawsuit can be filed if medical professionals breach the accepted standards of practice and causes injury to patients. The victim must prove that the doctor did not fulfill their duty of caring by providing care that was substandard. The doctor must have acted negligently, and this negligence caused the patient to suffer injury.
To prove that the physician breached their duty to care, a seasoned attorney must present expert testimony to show that the defendant failed to be a practitioner or possess the level of skill and knowledge held by physicians in their specialty. Further, the plaintiff must establish a direct connection between the alleged negligence and the injuries he suffered which is referred to as causation.
Moreover, the injured plaintiff must prove that they would not have chosen the course of treatment if they had been adequately informed. This is also known as the principle of informed consent. Physicians have a duty to inform patients about possible complications or risks associated with procedures prior to deciding to perform surgery or place the patient under anesthesia.
In order to bring a medical malpractice claim, the patient who was injured must submit a lawsuit within a certain time frame known as the statute of limitations. No matter how grave the error of the health care provider or the extent to which the patient has been injured the court will almost always reject any claim that is filed after the statute of limitations has expired. Some states require that parties to a lawsuit for medical malpractice submit their claims to an independent screening panel or arbitration that is voluntary and binding as an alternative to the trial.
Causation
Medical malpractice cases require a significant investment in time and money both for the doctors who are involved in the litigation and their lawyers. To prove that a doctor’s treatment wasn't up to par the court must review records, interview witnesses, and analyze medical literature. A law requires that lawsuits be filed within the time limit set by the court. Generally speaking, this deadline -- also known as the statute of limitations -- begins to run when the medical error was made or when the patient realized (or ought to have realized according to the law) that they were hurt because of a medical error.
Causation is the fourth and most important element in a medical malpractice case. It can be the most difficult thing to prove. A lawyer must demonstrate that a doctor's failure to fulfill the duty of care directly led to injury to the patient and the damages or injuries would not have occurred but due to the negligence of the doctor. This is referred to as real or proximate causes. The legal standard to prove this element differs than that required in criminal proceedings, where proof must be beyond reasonable doubt.
If a lawyer can establish these three factors, then the victim of malpractice may be entitled to an amount of money from the defendant. The purpose of these damages is to pay the victim for their injuries or medical malpractice loss of quality of life and other damages.
Damages
Medical malpractice cases are usually complex and require expert testimony. The lawyer representing the plaintiff must demonstrate that a doctor failed to adhere to the standards of medical treatment, that this failure caused injuries and that the injury was caused by damages. The plaintiff must also show that the injury was measurable in monetary terms.
Medical negligence cases are among the most difficult and costly legal actions to bring. To cut down on the high cost of litigation, many states have implemented tort reforms that aim to improve efficiency, decrease frivolous claims and compensate injured parties fairly. Some of these measures include reducing the amount that plaintiffs can recover for suffering and pain while limiting the number defendants who are responsible for paying an award (joint and multiple liability) as well as requiring arbitration, mediation or the submission of an action to a panel of judges for a screening prior to trial; and imposing limits on damages in medical malpractice lawsuits.
Many malpractice cases also have technical aspects, which are difficult to comprehend by juries and judges. Experts are vital in these cases. For example in the event that a surgeon makes an error during a procedure the patient's attorney must hire an orthopedic specialist to explain why the specific mistake could not have occurred had the surgeon acted according to the relevant medical standards of care.
