medical malpractice (great post to read) Litigation
Medical malpractice litigation is complex and time-consuming. It is also expensive for both the plaintiff as well as the defendant.
In order to receive compensation for malpractice, the patient must prove that the negligent medical treatment he received led to his injury. This requires establishing four elements of law: a professional obligation and breach of this obligation, injury and damages.
Discovery
One of the most important elements of a medical negligence case is obtaining evidence via written interrogatories as well as requests for the production of evidence. Interrogatories are inquiries that have to be answered under the oath of the party opposing to the lawsuit. They can be used to establish the facts needed to be used in trial. Requests for documents can be used to obtain tangible items, such as medical records and test results.
In many cases, your attorney will be able to take the defendant's deposition that is recorded as a question and answer session. This allows your attorney to ask the witness or physician questions that might not be allowed during trial. It can be extremely useful in cases with experts as witnesses.
The information you gather during discovery before trial will be used to support your case at trial.
Infraction to the standard of care
Injuries resulting from a breach of the standard of care
Proximate cause
A doctor's failure to use the level of expertise and knowledge held by doctors in their field of specialization and that caused injury to the patient
Mediation
Medical malpractice trials are necessary, but they also have many drawbacks. The stress, cost and time commitment required by a trial can have a negative effect on plaintiffs. A trial can lead to humiliation and a loss of respect for defendant health professionals. It can also have adverse effects on their career as well as practice as the monetary settlements they make as part of settlements before trial are reported to national databases of practitioners and to the state medical licensing body and the medical societies.
Mediation is a more cost-efficient and time-efficient option to settle cases of medical negligence. Parties can negotiate more freely since they don't have the cost of a trial and the potential for the verdicts of juries to be undermined.
Before mediation, both sides will provide the mediator with a brief of information on the case (a "mediation brief"). The parties will often allow their communication to go through their lawyer rather than directly between themselves at this stage, as direct communications can be used against them later on in court. If the mediation continues it is a good idea for you to focus on your case's strengths, and be ready to acknowledge your case's weaknesses. This will enable the mediator to overcome any misunderstandings and offer you a reasonable offer.
Trial
Tort reformers are working to establish an insurance system that compensates people who are injured due to negligence of a physician quickly and without excessive costs. Numerous states have implemented tort reform measures to cut costs and also to prevent frivolous claims arising from medical malpractice.
Most physicians in the United States have malpractice insurance as a way to protect themselves from accusations of professional negligence. Certain policies may be required by a hospital or medical group to be a condition of the right to practice.
In order to receive monetary compensation for injuries caused by negligence of a medical professional, an injured patient must establish that the physician did not meet the standards of care applicable in the area of expertise he or she practices. This concept is known as proximate cause, and is a key element in the medical malpractice claim.
A lawsuit starts with the filing of an civil summons and complaint with the appropriate court. Once this is complete each party must participate in a process of disclosure. This involves written interrogatories and the creation of documents such as medical malpractice attorneys records. It also involves depositions (deponents are confronted by attorneys under the oath) and admission requests which are declarations that one side wishes the other to admit either in whole or part.
The burden of proof in the case of medical malpractice is extremely high. The damages awarded take into account the actual economic loss such as lost earnings and the costs of future medical treatment and noneconomic losses such as pain and suffering. It is crucial to partner with a skilled attorney when you are pursuing a medical negligence claim.
Settlement
Settlements are the simplest way to settle 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 an amount for the injured patient, which is then paid to the plaintiff's lawyer who then deposits it into an escrow account. The lawyer subtracts the legal costs and case expenses in accordance with the representation agreement. He then provides the injured victims with compensation.
In order to prevail in a medical malpractice case, the patient who has suffered must establish that a physician or other healthcare provider was obligated to them under a duty of care, and then violated this duty by failing use the appropriate degree of knowledge and skill in their field, that in the proximate consequence of the breach, the victim sustained injury, and that such injuries are quantifiable in terms of monetary loss.
The United States has a system of 94 federal district courts, which are essentially state trial courts, and each of these courts has jurors and a judge which hears cases. In certain circumstances medical malpractice cases can be transferred to one of these courts. In the United States, physicians carry medical malpractice insurance as a way to safeguard themselves from claims of injury that was not intended. Doctors must be aware of the structure and operation of our legal system so that they are able to respond appropriately to a lawsuit brought against them.
