Malpractice Litigation

Malpractice litigation is often an extended and complex process. It is necessary for the patient or a legally appointed representative to show that the doctor violated the obligation of care owed to them and that a repercussion resulted.

Various proposals have been made to modify the rules of law governing malpractice claims. These proposals would replace the jury and trial system with an alternative that would reduce costs, expedite settlements, eliminate excessively generous juries and filter out unsubstantial medical claims.

Incorrect diagnosis

Medical malpractice is usually caused by mistaken diagnosis. It occurs in a multitude of instances every year, with devastating consequences, including unnecessary surgery, prolonged hospital stays, or aggressive treatment. A misdiagnosis can even result in death in certain cases of severe injury or illness.

To prove malpractice the evidence must show that the doctor owed obligations to the patient and violated this obligation by failing to recognize the illness or injury properly. In the majority of cases, inability of a doctor to perform the required care is proven through an expert opinion. This could be an expert in medicine who has vast knowledge of the kind of disease in question. The expert must also demonstrate that the physician failed to properly add the condition to his or her list of differential diagnosis using methods such as asking more questions, making further observations or ordering additional tests as part of the diagnosis process.

A plaintiff also has to prove that the injuries caused by a misdiagnosis are a direct result from the breach of duty. This typically involves proving actual damages such as past or future medical expenses, income lost, pain and discomfort, reduced life span, and other damages. The victim must also file the lawsuit within the statutes of limitations which typically are two or three years after the harm was incurred.

Incorrect Procedure

It could be a shock to learn that surgeons execute the wrong procedure on a patient around 20 times per week. These mistakes in surgery often result in patients being faced with unanticipated medical bills and pain and suffering. A medical malpractice lawyer can help you get the compensation you are entitled to for your losses.

A successful malpractice lawsuit demands a convincing case of negligence on the part of the doctor in the matter. A claim of negligence stemming from an error in surgery must prove that the defendant's action was different from the standard of care that is expected to be provided by similarly skilled physicians in similar circumstances. This can be accomplished by expert testimony and an extensive examination of medical documents.

During the discovery process, your attorney and the defense team will share pertinent documents for use in your case. These documents could include medical and surgical reports, lab reports and the documentation of your injuries. Your lawyer will also speak with witnesses to gather information to support your case. During the interview with a witness you will be asked questions under oath from the opposing counsel. This is known as a deposition.

Surgery that is performed at the wrong site is a relatively rare but very serious form of malpractice. This type of malpractice usually results from an error made by a doctor who fails to follow the surgical recommendation or the medical history of a patient. In this scenario, it can be easy to prove that negligence occurred. However, determining who is liable for the negligence is not always simple.

Wrong Drugs

Each year, more than one million Americans are injured or have their health conditions worsened because of drug errors. Doctors must exercise extreme care when prescribing medications to ensure that they are safe and suitable for the patient. If the doctor's actions are not in line with the medical standard of care and you suffer severe injury as a result, it may be malpractice.

Sometimes errors don't occur in the doctor's offices but in the hospital. For example a nurse may misread a prescription and administer the wrong medication or dosage. The pharmacy could also make an error by filling in the wrong medication or a medication that contains harmful ingredients.

Emergency Room Errors

Emergency rooms are high-stress, high-pressure environments that could be dangerous for patients. Doctors are under pressure to take care of as many patients as they can. They must also conduct tests quickly, interact with themselves, and read and write reports and provide high-quality patient care. However, these hectic environments can cause mistakes that could cause catastrophic harm.

ER errors include everything from the incorrect diagnosis of a patient to premature discharge. The majority of ER errors result from an absence of medical history, a incorrect interpretation of test results or diagnosis or failure to consult specialists. ER staff may make errors in communicating with one another or with the patient like not letting the patient's allergies or other health conditions or giving incorrect instructions to nurses.

To be able to establish grounds to bring a malpractice suit, the plaintiff must first prove that the medical professional breached the standard of care. The standard of care is the level of care that a reasonable medical professional with the same training and experience would provide in similar circumstances. The plaintiff must prove that negligence was the cause for their injuries and damages. A successful plaintiff may be able to obtain compensation for future or past medical bills along with pain and suffering, earnings potential and lost wages as well as funeral expenses depending on the circumstances.
