Malpractice Litigation

Malpractice litigation is often a lengthy and complex process. It is required for the patient or an legally appointed representative to prove that the doctor did not fulfill the duty of care owed to them, and that an injury resulted.

Many proposals have been put forward to change the legal rules governing malpractice claims. These proposals would replace the jury and trial system with a new system that would reduce costs, speed settlements, reduce excessively generous juries, and eliminate unsubstantial medical claims.

Misdiagnosis

Misdiagnosis is among the most common types of medical malpractice. It happens millions of times every year, with devastating consequences, such as unnecessary surgical procedures, prolonged hospital stays, or aggressive treatment. A misdiagnosis can even result in death in some cases involving severe injuries or illness.

To prove malpractice the evidence must show that the doctor was bound by an obligation to the patient and breached the obligation by failing to recognize the injury or illness properly. In the majority of cases, the failure of the doctor to meet the standard of treatment is confirmed by an expert opinion. This can be an expert medical professional who has extensive knowledge of the type of illness being examined. The expert must also demonstrate that the doctor didn't add the disease to their list of differential diagnoses by asking additional questions, conducting more examinations or requesting further tests as part of the diagnosing procedure.

A plaintiff must also demonstrate that the injuries caused by the mistake were the direct result of the breach of duty. This usually means establishing actual damages, such as past and future medical expenses loss of income, the suffering of others, a reduced life expectancy and other losses. Finally, the victim must bring the lawsuit within the statute of limitation which is usually two or three years from the date of the injury.

Unskillful Procedure

It could be a shock to discover that surgeons perform the wrong procedure on a patient approximately 20 times per week. These surgical mistakes could lead to unanticipated medical costs and additional pain for patients. A medical malpractice lawyer can help you obtain the compensation you are entitled to for your losses.

A successful malpractice case requires a strong claim of negligence on the part of the doctor in the matter. A malpractice claim stemming from a surgical error must prove that the defendant's actions deviated from the usual care that would have been provided by a physician with the same training in similar circumstances. This can be demonstrated through expert testimony as well as a thorough review of medical documents.

During the discovery process your attorney and defense team will share relevant documents to be used in your case. These documents may include medical and surgical records, lab reports and evidence of your injuries. Your lawyer will interview witnesses to collect information about your case. In the witness interview you will be questioned under oath by opposing counsel. This is referred to as a deposition.

Wrong-site surgeries are a rare but very serious type of malpractice. This kind of malpractice typically results from an error made by a physician who fails to adhere to the surgical recommendations or a patient's medical history. In this case, it is easy to prove negligence. However, determining which surgeon is liable for the negligence is not always simple.

Wrong Drugs

Drug-related errors can cause injury or worsen health conditions in more than a half million Americans every year. Doctors must exercise extreme caution when prescribing medication to ensure that they are safe and suitable for the patient. If the doctor deviates from the medical standard of treatment and you suffer an injury as consequence, it could be a case of malpractice.

Sometimes, the error doesn't happen in the doctor's office, but rather in the hospital. Nurses may misunderstand the prescription and give the wrong dose or medication. A pharmacy could also make a mistake by filling in the wrong medication or one with harmful ingredients.

However, these hectic environments can result in mistakes that could have catastrophic consequences.

ER errors can range from misdiagnosis, to premature discharge of the patient. The majority of ER errors are caused by an absence of medical history, mistake in interpretation or test results or a failure to consult with specialists. ER staff may also make mistakes in communicating with one another or with the patient, for example, not communicating the patient's allergies or health conditions, or not giving the correct instructions to nurses.

To have a basis to bring a malpractice suit, the plaintiff must first demonstrate that the medical professional acted in violation of the standard of care. The standard of care is the level of care that a reasonable medical professional with the same education and experience would provide in similar circumstances. The plaintiff must prove that their negligence caused them injury and the resulting damages. A successful plaintiff could recover damages for past and future medical bills, physical suffering and pain as well as loss of wages and earning capacity, funeral expenses and funeral costs in the event that they are applicable.
