Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation

Malpractice litigation involves a complex process. If a patient can demonstrate four elements, it will be able to determine whether or not the mistake is malpractice. These are: a professional obligation in breach of this obligation; an injury that results from this breach; and measurable damages.

Plaintiffs must also prove the elements using evidence, such as expert testimony and depositions.

Incorrect diagnosis and failure to diagnose

The inability of a doctor to correctly diagnose an illness or injury can lead to grave complications, or even death. Misdiagnosis is a common cause of medical malpractice. To prove negligence, a person or their lawyer needs to prove that a seasoned doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed the condition.

Not every misdiagnosis is an error, but. Even the most skilled and trained doctors make mistakes, therefore an allegation of malpractice needs to be backed by other elements like breach, proximate causation, and actual injury. If a physician fails to sterilize his equipment prior the time he administers anesthesia and the patient becomes infected because of this, he could be guilty.

In most instances, lawsuits claiming malpractice will be filed in the state trial court where the alleged misconduct occurred. However, federal courts may be able to handle cases in certain circumstances. A case may be brought before a federal court under certain circumstances. For instance it could involve an issue regarding a statute of limitation or if the parties are of different nationalities. Some claims are settled by arbitral arbitration, which is a binding process. This is a non-formal procedure that is governed by professional decision makers. It is designed to minimize costs, expedite the legal process, and reduce the risk of overly generous juries. Arbitration is not accessible in all cases of malpractice.

Dosage for a drug that is not correct

Medication errors, also known as medication mistakes, are among the most common causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. They can be caused by a physician prescribing a prescription in error or administering the wrong dosage to the patient. These errors are usually preventable. Depending on the circumstances the hospital or its staff, pharmacist or other health care professionals may be held liable for the harms suffered by the patient who received the wrong dose of medication.

A doctor could prescribe the wrong medication to a patient as a result of an incorrect diagnosis or simply because he/she misreads the prescription. A health professional could also give the wrong dosage due to a lapse in communication. For instance, a nurse may read a doctor's script incorrectly or a pharmacist may make an error when filling the prescription. In other cases doctors may delay in administering the correct medication to the patient, which could result in their condition worsening.

A person who suffers from a medical malpractice lawsuit claim must prove, to be successful in a malpractice claim that the medical professional breached their professional standards and that their injuries were directly caused by the negligence. This requires medical expert testimony. A medical malpractice case must prove the severity and the damages caused by the victim's injuries. This includes the cost of treatment for a patient and any wages lost. The more loss you suffer, the higher the value of the claim.

The wrong procedure

This kind of situation is not unusual. It might seem impossible for medical professionals to carry out the wrong procedure on patients, however, it is a reality. A surgeon who makes this kind of error could be held responsible for malpractice. However patients who are injured due to a surgical error could also be held accountable for any negligence that occurred the process.

A health professional accused of malpractice must prove that a patient was injured by an action or inability to take action. To establish this, the patient's legal team must show that: (1) the doctor was in a duty to provide care or treatment; (2) that the doctor breached this duty; (3) that there is a direct causal link between the breach and the injury; and (4) that the injury results in damages that the legal system is able to deal with.

A breach of duty of care is no meaning unless it results in injury. This is why medical malpractice cases tend to be dependent on the lawful doctrine "res ipsa locquitur," which states that certain injuries are so obvious they can only be explained by negligence.

Depending on the circumstances of the case, the plaintiff (the patient or their legally appointed representative) or their attorney can file the claim in state or federal court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state courts, however under certain circumstances, a medical malpractice case could be filed in federal district court.

Wrong Surgery

A wrong-site procedure is a rare error, but it could be considered medical negligence if the procedure is performed on the wrong side of the body. This kind of error is often caused by miscommunications between members of the surgical team or pressures on production that result in surgeons being assigned multiple surgeries at once. In these situations the surgeon isn't solely responsible for a wrong-site operation because of a legal rule known as "res ipsa locquitur" which says that the outcome is a matter of fact and cannot be attributed to negligence.

If a patient is injured due to surgery performed on the wrong site the patient may require additional treatments to correct issues that were caused due to the surgical error. Patients and their families are left with expensive medical bills. It is essential to take these costs into consideration when calculating the financial costs of medical malpractice claims.

The majority of times surgeons are accountable for surgical mistakes. They are accountable in preparing the patient for the procedure, checking the medical records and chart of the patient, communicating with the medical staff, and ensuring that the incision was placed at the correct location. However, in certain instances a hospital or anesthesiologist may also be held responsible. Medical malpractice claims are usually filed in state courts. However, under certain circumstances they may be transferred to federal courts.
