How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
A malpractice case is one where a medical professional fails to treat a patient in line with the accepted standards of medical care. Medical malpractice can be triggered by an orthopedic surgeon who makes a mistake in surgery and damages the nerves of the femoral area.
Duty of care
All medical professionals are obligated by a duty to care arising from the doctor-patient relationship. This means taking reasonable steps to avoid injury or treat a patient's condition. The doctor must inform the patient about the risks associated with a particular treatment or procedure. A doctor who fails to warn the patient of potential risks known to the profession may be held accountable for negligence.
If a medical professional fails to meet their obligation to care, they are accountable for negligence and are required to pay damages to the plaintiff. This element of the case must be proven by showing that the defendant's actions or inactions were not in line with how other medical professionals would behave in similar situations. This is usually demonstrated through expert testimony.
A medical professional who is familiar with the relevant practice and the kinds of tests that must be performed to determine the severity of an illness may declare that the defendant's conduct breached the standard of medical care for that type of disease or condition. They can also inform jurors in simple terms how the standard of medical care was not met.
Some medical experts are not qualified to work on malpractice cases, so an experienced attorney should know how to find and work with the right expert witnesses. In cases that are complex the expert might need to provide detailed reports as well as be available to testify in the court.
Breach of duty
Determining the standard of care and proving that the medical professional violated it is the basis of all malpractice cases. This is usually done through expert testimony from other physicians who have similar knowledge, skills and experience as the negligent doctor.
The basic principle of care is what other medical professionals would do in your circumstances to treat you. Doctors are obliged to their patients by a duty of care to always act sensibly and with a degree of caution when treating a patient. This duty of care carries over to their patients' loved ones. This does not mean that medical professionals have a responsibility to act as good samaritans out of the hospital.
If a medical professional fails to fulfill their duty of care and you are injured, they are accountable for the injuries you sustain. The plaintiff must also prove that the breach directly led to their injury. If, for instance, the defendant surgeon is not reading the chart of their patient and operates on the wrong leg, causing an injury, this is most likely negligence.
It is important to remember that it can be difficult to prove the cause of your injury. It is difficult to prove that a surgical sponge left over after gallbladder surgery has caused the patient's injuries.
Causation
A doctor may be held accountable for malpractice only if a patient can prove that the doctor's negligence directly led to injury. This is referred to as "cause". It is important to note that a negative outcome of a treatment is not necessarily medical malpractice. The plaintiff must prove that the doctor did not adhere to the standard of care normally followed in similar cases.
A doctor is obliged to inform patients of all potential risks and outcomes, including the success rate of an operation. If a patient has not been properly informed about the dangers, they may have decided to avoid the procedure in favour of a different option. This is known as the obligation of informed consent.
The legal system's framework for handling medical malpractice claims evolved from the 19th century English common law, and is regulated by court decisions and legislative statutes that differ between states.
The procedure of suing a doctor involves filing an official complaint, or summons filed in a state court. This document outlines the allegations of wrongdoing, and demands redress for the injuries caused by the physician's actions. The attorney for the plaintiff must organize a deposition of the defendant physician under oath. This is an opportunity for the plaintiff's attorney to present testimony. The deposition will be recorded and used as evidence in the trial.
Damages
A patient who believes a physician has committed medical malpractice may pursue an action before a court. A plaintiff must prove that there are four elements to an action for malpractice that is valid that includes a legal obligation to act in accordance with the guidelines of the field, a breach of the obligation, a harm caused by this breach and damages that may be reasonably connected to the injuries.
Expert testimony is required in medical malpractice cases. The defendant's lawyer will often participate in discovery where parties seek written interrogatories and requests for documents. These are requests and questions for tangible evidence which the opposing side must take oath to answer. This can be a lengthy and drawn-out process, and both sides will be able to have experts be present to testify.
The plaintiff must also show that negligence has caused substantial damages. This is because it can be expensive to pursue a malpractice lawsuit. If the damage is not significant then it might not be worthwhile to bring a lawsuit. The amount of damages must be more than the amount required to file the lawsuit. For this reason, it is important that a patient consult with an experienced Board Certified legal malpractice attorney before filing a lawsuit. When a trial is over, either the winning or losing party can appeal the decision of a lower court. In an appeal, a higher level court will review the record to determine if the lower court made errors in law or facts.
