Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation

Malpractice litigation involves a complex process. If a patient can prove four elements, it will determine whether or not the error is malpractice. These are the following: a professional obligation in breach of this obligation; a repercussion from this breach; and measurable damages.

Plaintiffs must also prove these elements with evidence such as expert testimony, depositions, or discovery.

The wrong diagnosis or the inability to diagnose

A physician's inability to diagnose an illness or injury can result in serious complications or even death. A lot of medical malpractice cases involve mistakes in diagnosis. To prove negligence, the patient or their lawyer must demonstrate that a competent physician under similar circumstances and working in the same area would not have missed the diagnosis.

It is not always a case of malpractice, however. Even the most skilled and trained doctors make mistakes, therefore any claim of malpractice has to be supported by other elements like breach, proximate causation, and actual injury. For instance If a doctor is not careful to clean their equipment prior the time they administer anesthesia and the patient develops an infection in the process, the doctor could be guilty of malpractice.

Legal actions claiming malpractice are usually filed in state trial courts, where the alleged malpractice lawsuit took place. Federal courts can however have jurisdiction in certain situations. For instance, a case may be brought in federal court if it involves an issue regarding a statute of limitations or when there is a significant variation in the citizenship of the parties to the case. Certain disputes are settled via arbitral arbitration, which is a binding process. This is a less formal process which involves professionals who make the decisions. It is designed to reduce costs, speed up legal process, and reduce the risk associated with overly large juries. However, arbitration is not available for all claims of malpractice.

The wrong dosage of medication

Medication mistakes, also referred to as medication errors, are among the most common causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. They can be the result of a doctor prescribing a prescription in error or giving the wrong dosage to a patient. These errors are often preventable. According to the circumstances, a hospital, its staff, a pharmacist or other health care professionals could be held accountable for the injuries sustained by a patient who was given the wrong drug dosage.

A doctor may prescribe the wrong medication to a patient because of an incorrect diagnosis or simply because they misread the prescription. A health professional could also prescribe the wrong dosage due to an inability to communicate, such as when a nurse reads the doctor's handwritten prescription incorrectly or the pharmacist makes an error in filling the prescription. In other situations, a physician might delay in administering the correct medication to the patient, resulting in their condition worsening.

To win an action for malpractice, a victim must establish that the medical professional acted in breach of their duty of care and that their negligence directly led to their injuries. This requires medical experts to testify. Additionally, a medical malpractice case must establish the severity of the victim's injuries as well as the damages they sustained because of the negligence. This includes the costs of a person's treatment and any lost wages. The more money you lose is, the more valuable of the claim.

The wrong procedure

This type of incident is not uncommon. It may seem like a challenge for medical professionals to carry out the wrong procedure on patients, however, it is a reality. A surgeon who makes this mistake can be held liable for malpractice. However, a patient who is injured due to a surgical error may also be held liable for any negligence that occurred along the process.

Any health care professional who is accused of malpractice must show that the patient was injured through a specific act or inaction. To prove this the legal team of the patient must prove that (1) the doctor was bound by an obligation to provide treatment or treatment; (2) that the doctor did not fulfill this duty; (3) that there is a direct and causal connection between the breach and the injury and (4) that the injury results in damages that the legal system is able to resolve.

A breach of the duty of care is insignificant unless it causes injury which is why medical malpractice claims are typically made based on a law called "res ipsa loquitur." This law states that, in the majority of cases certain injuries are so obvious and evident that they cannot be explained except by negligent actions.

Based on the circumstances, the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim, or their legal representative) or their lawyer could decide to file the claim either in state or federal court. Most malpractice cases are filed in state court. However, in certain circumstances, malpractice a medical malpractice lawsuit could be filed in federal district court.

Wrong Surgery

A wrong-site procedure is a rare mistake, but it could be considered medical negligence if the procedure is performed on the wrong side of the body. This kind of error is usually caused by a lack of communication between members of the surgical team or malpractice production pressures that lead to surgeons being assigned several surgeries to perform at the same time. In these instances, the surgeon is not all-in on his responsibility for a surgical error that is not performed correctly because there is a legal rule known as "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the effect of the error is evident and cannot be attributed to negligence.

If an individual is injured in a wrong-site procedure the patient may need additional procedures to correct problems that were made worse by the mistake. Patients and their family members are left with hefty medical bills. It is important to consider these costs when calculating the financial burden of medical malpractice claims.

Surgeons are most often held liable for surgical errors as they are the ones who are responsible for properly prepping for the operation, double-checking the patient's chart and medical records, coordinating effectively with other members of the medical team, and making sure the incision is located at the correct location. In some instances, hospitals or anesthesiologists may also be held responsible. Medical malpractice lawsuits are usually filed in state courts. However, under certain circumstances they may be transferred to federal courts.
