How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
A malpractice case occurs when a doctor fails in their obligation to treat a patient according to accepted standards of care. Medical malpractice can be triggered by an orthopedic surgeon who commits a mistake during surgery and injures the nerves of the femoral area.
Duty of care
The doctor-patient relationship creates the obligation of care all medical professionals must meet during their professional duties. That work includes taking reasonable steps to prevent injuries and to treat or alleviate a patient's illness. The doctor must inform the patient about any risks that may be connected to a treatment procedure. A physician who fails warn the patient of the risks that are known to the profession may be held accountable for malpractice.
When a medical professional breaches their obligation to care, they are liable for negligence and must pay damages to the plaintiff. To prove this element of the case, it has to be proven that the defendant's actions or inaction were not in accordance with the standards that other medical professionals would have followed under similar circumstances. This is usually proven through expert testimony.
A medical expert who is knowledgeable about the applicable practice and the kinds of tests that must be conducted to diagnose an illness may demonstrate that the defendant's behavior breached the standard of care for the specific illness or condition. They can also inform the jury in simple terms how the standard of medical care was not met.
There are a few medical experts who are qualified to handle the malpractice cases, so an experienced attorney must be able to identify and work with the right experts. In cases that are complex, the expert may need to provide complete reports and be available to testify in court.
Breach of duty
Every malpractice case is based around defining the standard of care, and then proving that the medical professional violated the standard. This is typically accomplished by getting expert evidence from doctors with similar skills, training and knowledge as the alleged negligent physician.
The basic principle of care is what other medical experts would do in your circumstances to treat you. Doctors are bound by their patients to treat them with caution and in a reasonable way. The duty of care also extends to their patients' loved ones. But, this does not mean that medical professionals are required to be good Samaritans out of the hospital.
If a medical professional violates his or his duty of care and you suffer injury and suffer injuries, they are liable for the harm. The plaintiff must prove that the breach directly led to their injury. For instance, if the surgeon performing the surgery for the defendant is not able to read their patient's chart and then operates on the wrong leg and causes an injury, it's likely to be negligence.
It may be difficult to establish the reason for your injury. For example in the instance where a surgical sponge was left behind following gallbladder procedure, it's difficult to prove that the patient's problems were directly triggered by the procedure.
Causation
A doctor may be held liable for malpractice only if the patient proves that the physician's negligence directly caused injury. This is known as "causation." It is important to keep in mind that a negative outcome from an operation does not necessarily constitute medical malpractice. The plaintiff must also prove that the doctor's actions were not in line with the standards of care in similar cases.
It is a doctor's duty to inform the patient of the possible risks and consequences of a procedure, as well as the likelihood of success. If a patient isn't fully informed about the risks, they could have opted to forgo the procedure in favor of an alternative. This is called the duty of informed permission.
The legal system for handling medical malpractice cases developed from English common law in the 19th century. It is regulated by a variety of state legislative statutes and the decisions of courts.
The process of suing a physician involves filing an official complaint or summons to the state court. The document outlines the allegations of wrongdoing, and demands compensation for any injuries caused by the physician's conduct. The plaintiff's attorney must then organize a deposition of the defendant doctor under oath, which is an opportunity for the plaintiff to present testimony. The deposition is typically recorded to be used as evidence in the trial of the case.
Damages
A patient who believes a doctor has committed medical malpractice may bring a lawsuit to court. A plaintiff must prove four elements to support a claim of malpractice: a legal duty to act within the standards of practice in the profession; a breach of that obligation; injury caused by the breach and damages reasonably connected to the injury.
Expert testimony is required in medical malpractice cases. The lawyer of the defendant will usually engage in discovery where parties seek written interrogatories as well as requests for documents. The opposing party has to answer these questions and requests under oath. The process can be a lengthy and drawn out one, and the attorneys for both sides will bring experts to give evidence.
The plaintiff must also prove that the negligence caused significant damages. It is costly to pursue a negligence claim. If the damages are small then it might not be worth it to start a lawsuit. The amount of damage must be more than the amount required to bring the lawsuit. This is why it is vital for a patient to speak with an experienced Board Certified legal malpractice attorney before filing a lawsuit. After a trial, either the winning or losing party can appeal the decision of the lower court. During an appellation, a higher court will examine the record to determine whether the lower court committed mistakes in the law or facts.
