Medical Malpractice Law
Even with the best training and an oath to do no harm, medical mistakes can happen. When medical mistakes occur, the consequences for patients can be devastating.
Malpractice law is a branch of tort law that focuses on professional negligence. A malpractice case must meet four basic requirements:
Malpractice claims in the United States are typically filed in state trial courts. Extensive legal tools, including depositions under oath, are employed in order to gather evidence for the case.
Duty of care
A doctor owes you a duty of care when you are in a relationship with a doctor. This is the case whether the doctor is treating you in a hospital, or in your home. However, there are some circumstances when doctors may be liable for malpractice even without the existence of a doctor-patient relationship.
Someone who is bound by a duty of responsibility must behave in the same way as a reasonable person under the circumstances. For example, a driver is bound by a duty of care to drive in a safe manner and not to cause injury to other road users. If the driver is not able to meet this duty and causes injury, they is accountable for any injuries that result.
Doctors are bound to care for their patients at all times. This is true even when a doctor is not your doctor such as when you ask an expert to provide advice in an elevator or at the restaurant. However, the obligation to be a good Samaritan is usually limited by Good Samaritan laws.
Medical professionals have a duty to inform patients about the risks associated with certain procedures and treatments. If they fail to do so, it is a violation of the duty of care of a doctor. Doctors can also violate their duty of care if they prescribe you a medication known to interact with other medications you are taking.
Breach of duty
Generally speaking, doctors owe patients a duty to provide medical care that conforms to the standards of practice accepted by doctors. This standard is established by the laws of today and also by standards set by medical associations. If a doctor fails to meet this duty is negligent. A malpractice attorney will examine the evidence and determine whether there was a violation of the standard of care.
A doctor can violate their duty of care in a variety of ways. It is not just about whether they have done something reasonable people wouldn't do in the same situation; it also includes what they could have done, but didn't do. It is often necessary to have expert witness testimony to determine what the accepted medical standard of practice would have been.
A doctor could have violated their duty of care if they prescribe a medication that interacts dangerously with another drug. This is a common error that can have serious consequences for your health.
However, simply proving that a breach of duty occurred is not enough to prove malpractice. You must prove that there was a direct link between negligence of a doctor and your injury or illness to receive damages. This is called causation. It can be a difficult connection to make in some instances, but a knowledgeable malpractice lawyer will work hard to uncover the evidence needed to prove the link.
Causation
A malpractice lawsuit only has validity if the plaintiff can prove that the defendant's negligent actions caused the injuries and losses. Expert testimony is required to establish medical negligence. This requires proof that there was a relationship between the patient and the provider and that the provider violated the accepted standard of care. It is crucial that the person's injury be directly related to the action or omission that violated the standard of care. This is called causality or the proximate cause.
When proving legal malpractice it is essential to show that the attorney's negligence has had a significant negative impact on you. You must be able show that the costs of a lawsuit far exceed your losses. The plaintiff also needs to prove that the negligence caused actual and measurable damages.
Most malpractice cases go through an investigation process that involves oral depositions. Your lawyer can represent you at these depositions and ask questions of the defense experts to challenge their findings and show that the evidence backs your claims. It is imperative to have an experienced medical malpractice lawyer on your side as the process of establishing the four components of malpractice, which include breach, duty causation, harm and breach is time-consuming and complex. Your lawyer will guide you through every step of the process. The more steps you can complete, the higher your odds of winning.
Damages
The monetary compensation a patient receives in a medical malpractice case depends on their injury and the amount of money they require to pay medical bills and income loss or other financial losses. In some instances, punitive damages may be given to the plaintiff as a punishment for the malpractice of the doctor. They are not common, since doctors must have acted in recklessness or intent to receive punitive damages.
The law requires that anyone alleging medical malpractice prove four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was a duty of care on the part of the physician; (2) the doctor did not fulfill this duty when he or she departed from the accepted standards of practice; (3) as a consequence of the doctor's negligence, the victim suffered injury; and (4) the damage can be quantified in terms of an amount in money. Additionally the person who was injured must file a lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitations which varies according to the state.
The law recognizes that some medical malpractice claims can be costly and complicated to resolve, malpractice particularly when they involve complicated issues such as proximate cause or the possibility of foreseeability. Its purpose is to ensure that victims receive the justice they deserve, while preventing frivolous and opportunistic lawsuits to delay the justice system. It also aims to cut costs by requiring that all defendants share responsibility for a claim's success (joint and multiple liability) while limiting the amount that a plaintiff can receive if other defendants don't have funds to pay ("damage caps") and stopping doctors from practicing defensive medicine, which entails altering their treatment plans due to the danger of malpractice lawsuits.
