Malpractice Litigation

Malpractice litigation can be a long and complicated process. It is the responsibility of the patient or legally appointed representative to prove that the doctor violated the duty of care owed them, and that an injury resulted.

A variety of ideas have been proposed to alter the legal rules that govern malpractice claims. These proposals would replace the jury system and trial with a new system that would lower costs, speed settlements, eliminate overly generous juries and screen out frivolous medical claims.

Incorrect diagnosis

Medical malpractice is often caused by mistakes in diagnosis. It occurs in a multitude of instances every year, resulting in devastating consequences, such as unnecessary surgeries, long hospitalizations, or invasive treatment. In some instances an error in diagnosis could cause death.

To prove malpractice the evidence must show that the doctor owed the patient a duty and breached that duty by failing to diagnose the condition or injury correctly. In the majority of cases, failure of the physician to perform the required medical care is established by an expert's assessment. This could be an expert in medicine who has vast knowledge of the kind of illness being examined. The expert has to prove that the doctor did not add the illness to their differential diagnosis list by asking further questions, or making further observations or requesting further tests to aid in the diagnosis process.

A plaintiff must also demonstrate that the injuries resulting from the incorrect diagnosis were the direct result of the breach of duty. This typically means establishing actual damages, such as future and past medical expenses and lost income, as well as the suffering of others, a reduced life expectancy, and other damages. The victim must file the lawsuit within the time frame of the statute of limitations which is typically two or three years after the date of the harm.

Incorrect Procedure

It can be shocking to hear that surgeons carry out the wrong procedure on patients around 20 times a week. These surgical errors typically result in patients being faced with unexpected medical expenses as well as suffering and pain. A medical malpractice lawyer can help you obtain the compensation you're due for your losses.

A successful malpractice lawsuits suit requires an enviable claim of negligence on the part of the doctor in the case. A claim of negligence based on a surgical error must show that the defendant's actions was not in accordance with the standard of care that would be offered by similarly trained physicians in similar circumstances. This can be done through expert testimony and an extensive review of medical documents.

During the discovery process, your attorney and the defense team will share relevant documents to use in your case. These documents could comprise medical and surgical records, lab reports, as well as documentation of your injury. The lawyer will also question witnesses to gather information for your case. During the interview with a witness, the opposing attorney will inquire about your concerns under an oath. This is known as a deposition.

Wrong-site surgery is a rare, but serious type of malpractice. This kind of malpractice is usually triggered by a physician's failure to follow the surgical recommendation records or the patient's medical record. In this situation it is possible to establish that negligence occurred. However, determining who should be held accountable is not always straightforward.

Wrong Drugs

Drug errors can lead to harm or worsening of health conditions in over a half a million Americans each year. Doctors should exercise extreme caution when prescribing medications to ensure that they are safe and appropriate for the patient. If you sustain serious injuries due to the doctor's deviation from standard medical practice this could be considered negligent.

Emergency Room Errors

Emergency rooms can be high-stress and high-pressure environments. This can be risky for patients. Doctors are under pressure to treat as many patients as they can. They must also run tests quickly, communicate between themselves and write and read reports while providing top-quality patient care. However, these hectic environments can lead to mistakes that can cause catastrophic harm.

ER errors can range from mistaken diagnosis of a patient, to premature discharge. Most ER errors result from a lack of medical history, mistake in interpretation or test results and a failure consult with specialists. ER staff could make errors when communicating with one another and with patients, such as failing to inform patients of health issues, allergies or other medical conditions or giving incorrect instructions.

To be able to establish grounds for a malpractice claim, the plaintiff must first demonstrate that the medical professional acted in violation of the standard of care. The standard of care is the standard of care that a reasonable medical professional with the same training and experience would provide in similar circumstances. The plaintiff must prove that negligence caused the injury and damages. A successful plaintiff can seek compensation for past or future medical bills as well as pain and suffering, loss of earnings and wages and funeral costs, if applicable.
