How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
A malpractice case is one where medical professionals fail to treat a patient in accordance with the accepted standards of care. For example, if an orthopedic surgeon commits a mistake during surgery, which causes injuries to nerves in the femoral area, this could be considered medical malpractice.
Duty of care
All medical professionals are bound by the obligation to care that arises from the doctor-patient relationship. That work includes taking reasonable measures to prevent injury and to treat or alleviate a patient's illness. The doctor must also inform the patient about any risks that are associated with treatment or procedure. A doctor who does not warn the patient of risks that are associated with their profession could be held accountable for negligence.
When a medical professional violates their obligation to care, they are accountable for negligence and are required to pay damages to the plaintiff. The case must be established by showing that the defendant's actions or inactions were not in line with what other medical professionals would behave in similar situations. This is usually established by expert testimony.
A medical expert who is knowledgeable of the practice relevant to the case and the types of tests that should be performed to determine the severity of a particular illness can declare that the defendant's conduct violated the standard of care for the particular disease or condition. They can also explain in plain terms to jurors why the standard was not met.
Not all medical professionals are qualified to work on malpractice lawsuits cases, therefore an experienced attorney should be able to identify and work with the appropriate experts. In more complex cases the expert might be required to provide detailed reports and be available to testify at court.
Breach of duty
All malpractice cases are built around defining the standard of care, and proving that the medical professional did not adhere to it. This is usually done by getting expert testimony from doctors who have similar qualifications, training and knowledge as the alleged negligent doctor.
The norm of care is basically what other medical professionals in your situation would recommend to treat you. Doctors are obliged to their patients by a duty of care to act sensibly and with a degree of caution when treating a patient. The duty of care carries over to their patients' loved ones. This doesn't mean that medical professionals have a responsibility to act as good samaritans in and outside of the hospital.
If a medical professional does not fulfill their duty of care and you're injured, they are accountable for your injuries. In addition the plaintiff must show that their injury was directly caused by the breach. For instance, if the surgeon who is defending the plaintiff misreads the patient's chart and then operates on the wrong leg, causing injury, it is likely negligence.
It could be difficult to establish the cause of your injury. For instance, in the case where a surgical sponge was left behind after gallbladder operation, it can be difficult to prove that the patient's issues were directly triggered by the procedure.
Causation
A doctor can be held accountable for malpractice only if a patient proves that the physician's negligence directly caused injury. This is referred to as "causation." It is important to keep in mind that a negative outcome resulting from an intervention does not automatically constitute medical malpractice. The plaintiff must also prove that the doctor's actions were not in line with the standard of care that is normally applied in similar cases.
It is the responsibility of a doctor to inform the patient about the risks and potential outcomes of a procedure, including the rate of success. If a patient is not properly informed of risks, they may decide to skip the procedure in favor of a different option. This is known as the duty of informed consent.
The legal system's structure for handling medical malpractice claims grew out of the 19th century English common law, and is regulated by court decisions and legislative statutes that vary between states.
The process of suing a physician involves filing an official complaint or summons filed in a state court. This document sets forth the allegations of wrongdoing and demands compensation for any injuries caused by the actions of the physician. The attorney representing the plaintiff needs to schedule a deposition for the defendant doctor under oath, which is an opportunity for the plaintiff to present evidence. The deposition is usually recorded for use as evidence in the trial of the case.
Damages
A patient who believes a doctor has acted negligently in medical treatment can file a lawsuit in the court. A plaintiff must demonstrate four elements in order to have a valid claim of malpractice: a legal duty to follow the rules of practice in the field and a breach of the obligation; injury caused by the breach; and damages that are reasonably connected to the injury.
Expert testimony is required in medical malpractice cases. Often, the attorney representing the defendant will initiate discovery, where the parties request written interrogatories or requests for production of documents. The opposing party is required to answer these questions and requests under an oath. This can be a lengthy and drawn-out process, and both sides will have experts provide testimony.
The plaintiff must also prove that the negligence resulted in significant damages. It is costly to pursue a malpractice claim. If the damages are not too significant, it might not be worth the effort to bring a lawsuit. The amount of damages should be greater than the cost to bring the lawsuit. It is crucial to consult with a Board Certified legal malpractice lawyer before filing a suit. When a trial is over either the losing or winning side can appeal the decision of the lower court. During an appellation an appeal, a higher-level court will review the evidence to determine whether the lower court committed mistakes in the law or facts.
