Medical Malpractice Law
Even with the most thorough training and a pledge to avoid harm, medical mistakes could happen. When they do, the consequences can be devastating for patients.
Malpractice law is a branch of tort law that focuses on professional negligence. A malpractice lawsuit must meet four fundamental requirements:
Malpractice claims in the United States are typically filed in state trial courts. A variety of legal tools, such as depositions under oath, are used in order to gather evidence for the case.
Duty of care
A doctor is bound by the duty of care if there is a patient-doctor relationship. This is true regardless of whether the doctor is treating you in a hospital or in your home. However, there are certain instances where doctors are liable for malpractice even without the existence of a patient-doctor relationship.
Someone who is bound by the obligation of responsibility must act in the same way as a reasonable person in the circumstances. A driver, for instance is bound by a duty of care to drive safely and not cause harm to other road users. If a driver fails to fulfill this duty and causes an injury, he/she could be held accountable for any injuries that result.
Doctors are bound to care for their patients at all times. This is even when a doctor is not your official physician such as when you ask an expert to provide advice in an elevator or at the restaurant. Good Samaritan laws often limit this obligation to be good Samaritan.
Medical professionals also have a responsibility of care to inform their patients of the dangers that are associated with certain procedures and treatments. Failure to do this is a violation of the duty of care of a doctor. Doctors may also violate their obligation if they give you medication that interacts with other medications you are taking.
Breach of duty
Generally speaking, doctors owe patients a duty to provide medical care that meets the standards of practice that are accepted. This standard is determined by the laws of today and also by standards set by medical associations. When a doctor violates this obligation they are committing negligence. A malpractice attorney will look over the evidence and determine whether there was a breach of the standard of care.
A doctor may violate their duty of care in a number of ways. It's not only a matter of what they did that normal people wouldn't do in the same circumstance; it also includes what they should have done and did not do. Expert witness testimony is often required to determine the accepted standard of medical practice.
A doctor could have violated their responsibilities if they prescribe an unintentionally dangerous medication with another medication. This is a common mistake that can have grave health consequences.
However, merely showing that a breach of duty occurred is not enough to establish malpractice. To be awarded damages, you must prove that there was a direct link between the doctor's breach of duty and your injury or illness. This is known as causation. It can be a difficult connection to make in some cases, but a skilled malpractice lawyer will work hard to discover the evidence required to establish this link.
Causation
A malpractice case only has legitimacy if the plaintiff can demonstrate that the defendant's negligence caused the losses and injuries. Expert testimony is required to establish medical negligence. This requires proving that there was a relationship between patient and provider and that the provider's conduct breached the acceptable standard. It is essential that the harm suffered by someone be directly connected to the act or omission that breached the standard. This is known as causality or causality or proximate cause.
When proving legal malpractice is crucial to show that the attorney's negligence resulted in significant negative consequences for you. A lawsuit can be costly so you need to be able to prove that your losses are greater than the cost of the litigation. The plaintiff must also show that the negligence caused tangible and quantifiable damage.
Most malpractice cases go through an investigation process that involves oral depositions. Your lawyer will represent your interests in these depositions. They will ask questions of the defense experts to challenge their findings and to prove that the evidence backs the allegations. It is essential to have a seasoned medical malpractice attorney to represent you because the process of establishing the four components of malpractice, such as duty, breach, causation and harm, malpractice is a lengthy and complicated process. Your lawyer knows each step in the process and will ensure that you satisfy all requirements. The more steps you fulfill the higher chances you will be successful in your claim.
Damages
The amount of money a person receives in a medical malpractice case is contingent upon the severity of their injury and the amount they require to pay medical expenses as well as loss of income or other financial losses. In some instances there are punitive damages that can be awarded to the plaintiff as a punishment for the malpractice of the doctor. These are very rare, as doctors must have acted with recklessness or with intent to collect punitive damages.
The law requires that anyone alleging medical malpractice prove four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was an obligation of care on the part of the doctor; (2) the doctor breached this duty by deviating from the standard of practice; (3) as a result of the doctor's deviance the victim was injured; and (4) the harm is quantifiable in terms of an amount in dollars. The person who suffered the injury must bring a lawsuit prior to the applicable statute of limitation that varies from state to state.
The law recognizes the fact that some medical malpractice claims can be complex and expensive to resolve, particularly if they involve complex issues such as proximate cause or foreseeability. The goal of the law is to give victims the justice they deserve without allowing frivolous and opportunistic lawsuits to clog the courts. It also aims to reduce costs by requiring that all defendants bear the responsibility for the success of a lawsuit (joint and multiple responsibility) as well as limiting the maximum amount a plaintiff can receive if other defendants don't have funds to pay ("damage caps) and also preventing doctors from practicing defensive medicine, which involves altering their treatment plans due to the danger of malpractice lawsuits.
