Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation involves a complex process. The question of whether or not an error constitutes malpractice depends on whether the patient is able to establish four legal elements such as a professional duty; breach of this duty; harm resulting from the breach; and tangible damages.
Plaintiffs must also prove the elements by using evidence like expert testimony and depositions.
Incorrect diagnosis or failure to diagnose
Failure to correctly diagnose an injury or illness accurately could lead to serious complications, or even death. The misdiagnosis of a patient is a frequent reason for medical malpractice. To prove negligence, a person or their lawyer must demonstrate that a skilled doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed an illness.
Misdiagnosis doesn't always mean negligence. Even highly-trained and experienced doctors make mistakes. Therefore, a claim of malpractice has to be backed up by other elements, such as breach, proximate cause and actual injury. If a physician fails to sterilize his equipment prior to giving anesthesia and the patient gets infected because of this, the doctor might be liable.
In the majority of cases, lawsuits that allege malpractice will be filed in the state trial court where the malpractice was alleged to have occurred. However, federal courts might be able to hear cases in specific circumstances. For instance, a lawsuit may be brought in federal court in the event of an issue regarding the statute of limitations or when there is a significant difference in citizenship among the parties involved in the case. Certain claims are settled through binding voluntary arbitration. This is a less formal process with professional decision makers. It is designed to reduce costs, speed up legal proceedings and eliminate the possibility of excessively generous juries. However, arbitration is not accessible for all malpractice claims.
Wrong Drug Dosage
Medication errors, often referred to as medication mistakes, are one of the main causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. These errors can be caused by a physician who writes prescriptions in the wrong format or giving the patient the wrong dosage. These mistakes are usually avoidable. According to the circumstances an individual pharmacy, hospital or other health care providers could be held accountable for the injuries caused by a patient who was given the wrong dose of a drug.
A doctor could prescribe wrong medication to a patient as a result of an inaccurate diagnosis or simply because he/she misreads the prescription. A health professional may also prescribe the wrong dose due to a breakdown in communication, such as when nurses read a doctor's handwritten script incorrectly or the pharmacist makes an error in filling out the prescription. In other cases, a doctor could delay in administering the correct medication to the patient, which could result in their condition worsening.
A person seeking compensation must prove, in order to prevail on a malpractice lawsuit that the medical professional breached their standards of practice and that their injuries were directly caused by the negligence. This requires medical experts to testify. Additionally, a medical malpractice claim must establish the extent of the injuries suffered by a victim and the damages they sustained because of the negligence. This includes the cost of treatment as well as any lost wage. The more the loss is, the more valuable of the claim.
Unskillful Procedure
It might seem absurd for medical professionals to perform the wrong procedure on a patient but this type of mishap does occur. The surgeon who commits this mistake could be held liable for negligence. However the patient who is injured as a result of a surgical error can also be held accountable for any negligence that occurred the process.
Any health professional who is accused of negligence must show that the patient was injured by a specific action or inaction. To prove this the legal team representing the patient must show: (1) that the doctor was obligated to provide treatment or care to the patient; (2) that he violated his duty; (3) that a causal link exists between the breach and injury and (4) the injury results in damages the legal system could address.
A breach of duty of care is no significance unless it results in injury. This is the reason why medical malpractice cases tend to be built on the legal principle "res ipsa locquitur" which states that certain injuries are so obvious that they can be explained only by negligence.
Based on the facts depending on the facts, the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim or their legal representative) or their lawyer may decide to file the claim either in state or federal court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state courts, but in certain circumstances the medical negligence lawsuit could be filed with a federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
The wrong-site surgery is rare, but can be considered medical malpractice when the procedure is done in the wrong area of your body. This kind of error is usually the result of miscommunications between members of the surgical team, or due to pressures in the production process that result in surgeons having multiple surgeries assigned at once. In these cases the surgeon is not solely responsible for a misplaced procedure because of the legal principle known as "res ipsa locquitur", which states that the result is a matter of fact and cannot be attributed to negligence.
If someone is injured during a wrong-site procedure it is possible that the patient will require additional procedures in order to correct issues that were caused due to the error. This can result in high medical expenses for patients as well as their families. These expenses should be considered when calculating the financial impact of medical malpractice lawsuits.
The majority of times surgeons are liable for surgical mistakes. They are responsible to prepare the patient for surgery, reviewing the medical records and charts of the patient, coordinating with the rest of the medical staff, and ensuring that the incision was made in the correct place. In some cases hospitals or anesthesiologists may also be held responsible. Medical malpractice attorney claims are typically filed in state court, but they may be transferred under certain circumstances to federal court.
