Medical Malpractice Law
Medical errors can happen even with the best education or a sworn pledge of not causing harm to others. If they do, the results can be devastating for patients.
Malpractice law is a branch of tort law that addresses professional negligence. A malpractice case must meet four essential elements:
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 collect 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 true whether the doctor is treating you in a hospital or your home. However, there are circumstances when doctors may be liable for malpractice even without the existence of a patient-doctor relationship.
A person who has a duty of care has to behave in a way that reasonable people would do under the circumstances. A driver, for instance has a duty to care to drive safely and not to cause harm to other road users. If the driver fails in this duty and causes an injury, he/she can be held responsible for any injuries that result.
Doctors are bound to taking care of their patients at all times. This includes situations where a physician is not your primary doctor such as when you ask a doctor to give you advice in an elevator or a restaurant. However, this obligation to be a good Samaritan is usually limited by Good Samaritan laws.
Medical professionals are required to warn patients of the risks associated with certain procedures and treatments. A failure to do so is a violation of the doctor's duty of care. A doctor could also be in breach of their obligation if they prescribe you a medication that interacts other medications you're taking.
Breach of duty
In general, doctors have an obligation to provide medical care that conforms to the standards of practice accepted by doctors. This standard is established by current laws and standards that are drafted by medical organizations. If a doctor fails to fulfill this duty, they are acting negligently. A malpractice lawyer will review the evidence and determine if there was a breach of the standard of care.
A doctor may violate their obligation of care in a variety ways. It's not just about whether doctors did something that a reasonable person would not do in the same circumstance; it also includes things they ought to have done or not done. Most of the time, it is necessary to obtain expert witness testimony to determine what the accepted medical standard of practice would have been.
A doctor could have erred in their obligation if they prescribe drugs that are dangerously interfering with another drug. This is a common error which can have severe consequences for your health.
However, simply proving 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 breach of duty committed by the doctor and your injury or illness. This is referred to as causation. This can be a complicated connection to establish in certain cases, malpractice but a skilled malpractice lawyer will work hard to uncover the evidence needed to establish this link.
Causation
A malpractice case is only valid validity when the plaintiff can prove that the defendant's negligent actions caused the damages and losses. Expert testimony is required to establish medical negligence. This requires establishing that there was a patient-provider relation and that the provider's conduct violated the acceptable standard. It is essential that the harm suffered by the person be directly tied to the act or omission which breached the standard. This is called causality or proximate causes.
When proving legal malpractice it is essential to show that the attorney's negligence has had a significant negative impact on you. You must prove that the costs of a lawsuit exceed your losses. The plaintiff must also prove that the negligence resulted in actual and measurable damages.
Most malpractice cases go through discovery that includes oral depositions. Your lawyer can represent you during these depositions and ask questions of the experts in defense to challenge their findings and to prove that the evidence supports your claims. It is essential to have a skilled medical malpractice attorney on your side as the four elements of malpractice, such as duty, breach of duty, causation and harm is complex and time-consuming. Your lawyer will guide you through each step of the process. The more steps you go through more steps you complete, the better your chance of winning.
Damages
The amount of compensation a patient receives in a medical malpractice case depends on their injury and the amount of money they require to cover medical expenses and income loss or other financial losses. In some instances the court may award punitive damages awarded to the plaintiff in retaliation for the malpractice of the doctor. But, they are very rare because doctors must have acted with intent or recklessness to be awarded punitive damages.
The law requires that a person alleging medical malpractice prove four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was a duty of care on the part of the doctor; (2) the doctor breached this duty by deviating from the established standards of practice; (3) as a result of the doctor's breach the victim was injured and (4) the harm can be quantified in terms of an amount in money. Additionally the victim must bring a lawsuit within the time limit that varies from state to state.
The law recognizes the fact that some medical malpractice claims can be complex and expensive to resolve, especially when they involve complicated issues such as proximate causes or foreseeability. The goal of the law is to offer victims the redress they deserve without allowing frivolous or opportunistic lawsuits to slow down courts. It also seeks to reduce costs by insisting that all defendants share responsibility for a claim's success (joint and several liability) and limiting the total amount that a plaintiff can receive if other defendants don't have funds to pay ("damage caps); and preventing doctors from practicing defensive medicine, which involves altering their treatment plans due to the threat of malpractice lawsuits.
