Medical Malpractice Litigation
Medical malpractice lawsuits are complex and time-consuming. Both defendants and plaintiffs are also obliged to pay a significant price.
To receive compensation in the form of monetary damages for negligence, the patient has to prove that the substandard medical treatment caused their injury. This requires establishing four legal elements: a professional duty and breach of duty, injury, and resulting damages.
Discovery
The most important element of a medical negligence case is gathering evidence. This can be accomplished through written interrogatories or requests for documents. Interrogatories consist of questions that the opposing party has to answer under oath. They are utilized to establish facts that can be presented in court. Requests for documents can be used to obtain tangible items, like medical records and test results.
In many cases, your attorney will take the defendant physician's deposition which is an audio recording of a question and answer session. This permits your attorney to ask the doctor or witnesses questions that would not be allowed during trial. It can be very efficient in cases involving expert witnesses.
The information gathered during pretrial discovery will be used to prove your case in court.
Infractions to the standard of care
Injuries resulting from a breach of the standards of care
Proximate cause
A doctor's failure to use the level of expertise and knowledge held by physicians in their field of specialization, and which proximately caused injury to the patient
Mediation
Although medical malpractice cases are sometimes required, they do have some significant drawbacks for both parties. For plaintiffs who are facing a lawsuit, the stress, expense, and the commitment to trial can have a negative psychological impact on them. For malpractice health professionals who are defendants, a trial could result in humiliation and a loss of respect. It can also have negative consequences for their careers and practice since the financial payments they make as part of a settlement prior to trial are reported to national practitioner databases, state medical licensing board and the medical societies.
Mediation is a cheaper, time-efficient, and malpractice risk-effective option to settle the medical malpractice case. Parties can negotiate more freely when they avoid the costs of a trial, and the possibility of the verdicts of juries to be undermined.
Both parties must provide a brief description of the matter to the mediator before mediation (a "mediation brief"). The parties typically allow their communication to go through their lawyer, rather than directly between themselves at this point, as direct communications can be used against them later on in court. As the mediation process progresses it's a good idea for you to focus on your case's strengths and be willing to admit its weaknesses. This will assist the mediator to bridge any gaps in understanding and provide you with a reasonable offer.
