How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Lawyers and doctors must invest considerable time and funds in many medical malpractice lawsuits. This can include attorney time court fees, expert witness fees and other costs.
A medical malpractice claim may be filed in the event that a healthcare professional has been negligent or has committed misconduct or erred, or failed to take action. The injured party can seek compensation for economic losses, such as past or future medical bills, as well as noneconomic damages, such as discomfort and pain.
Complaint
A medical malpractice lawsuit has many moving parts and requires a solid evidence to be successful. The injured person, or their attorney should the patient die, must show each of these legal elements:
The defendant violated this duty. The defendant failed to meet this duty. The breach directly caused injury to the plaintiff. This is referred to as "cause". A breach of a standard of care does not cause injury on its own. It must be shown that it directly caused the injury and was the primary cause for the injury.
To safeguard the rights of a patient and to ensure that a doctor is not committing further errors, it is required to file a report with the state medical board. A report is not a lawsuit, however, it is the first step to starting the malpractice claim. It is recommended to talk with a Syracuse malpractice attorney before filing any report or other document.
Summons
A summons or claim is filed in the court and is sent to the defendant doctor as part of the legal procedure. A lawyer appointed by the court for plaintiff will then go over these documents and, if it appears that there could be an incident of malpractice and they submit a complaint and an affidavit before the court describing the alleged medical error.
The next step is to obtain evidence by pretrial disclosure. This includes the submission of requests for documentation, such as hospital billing and notes from clinics, and taking the deposition of the defendant's doctor. Attorneys then will question the defendant under oath regarding the details of the case.
This information will be used by the lawyer for the plaintiff to establish the elements of a claim for medical negligence in court. This includes the existence of a duty on the physician's part to provide care and treatment to patients; the doctor's violation of this duty; causality between the breach and the patient's injury or death; and a sufficient amount of damages resulting from the injury or death to warrant a monetary award for compensation.
Discovery
During the discovery phase in the discovery phase, both parties are entitled to request any evidence relevant to their case. This includes medical records prior to and after an incident of alleged negligence, information on experts and tax returns or other documents related to out-of-pocket expenses that the plaintiff claims to have incurred, and the names and contact details of any witnesses who will testify during the trial.
The majority of states have a statute of limitations which allows injured patients the time period of a certain amount of years after a medical error to bring a lawsuit. Those time limits are usually set by law of the state, and are subject to rules known as the "discovery rule."
To win a medical malpractice lawsuit an injured victim must prove that a physician's negligence caused harm to a specific person like physical pain or loss of income. They must also prove causation- that is, that the negligent treatment was the sole reason for their injury or death.
Deposition
Depositions are essentially question-and-answer meetings that take place in presence a court reporter, who takes notes of the questions as well in the responses. Depositions are part of the process of discovery, which is about gathering information that can be used in a trial.
Depositions allow attorneys to ask witnesses, typically doctors, a series of questions. When a physician is questioned to testify, he or she must answer the questions truthfully under oath. Typically, the doctor is first asked questions by an attorney, and then the attorney is cross-examined by another attorney. This is a crucial step in the case and the physician has to focus on it with complete attention.
A deposition allows attorneys to get a complete background on the doctor's background, including his or her education, training and experience. This information is essential to establish that the doctor violated the standard of care in your particular case and that the breach caused you injury. For example, physicians who have been trained in the field of malpractice cases generally be able to prove that they have a lot of experience performing specific procedures and techniques that could be relevant to a specific medical malpractice claim.
Trial
A lawsuit in a civil court is officially launched when your lawyer files a complaint and summons with the appropriate court. The process begins with a legal requirement of disclosure, also known as discovery, where you and your physician's team collaborate to collect evidence to prove your case. This evidence typically includes medical records and testimony from expert witnesses.
To prove that you committed a crime, you must establish that the doctor's actions were not in accordance with the standards of care. Your lawyer must convince the jury that your injuries could be prevented if the doctor had acted in accordance with the standards of care. Your doctor's lawyers will argue arguments that do not agree with the evidence presented by your lawyer.
Despite the belief that doctors are targets for malpractice claims that are not meritorious, decades of empirical research shows that jury verdicts usually reflect fair assessments of negligence and damages and juries are skeptical of damages that are exaggerated. The vast majority of malpractice cases are settled before trial.
