How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
A patient who believes he has suffered losses due to an error made by a medical professional can file a medical malpractice lawsuit. These cases differ from personal injury claims due to the fact that they employ a professional standard to determine negligence.
In the United States, malpractice claims are resolved by state trial courts. Each state has its laws and procedures.
Duty of care
A doctor, surgeon or nurse, or any other health care professional, is obligated to their patients a duty of caring. This legal concept states that any health professional who cares for you has a duty to adhere to the accepted medical practice.
This medical standard of care is a legal yardstick using which any malpractice claim will be judged. It is crucial to a successful claim, because it lays out the specific procedure to allow the injured person and his or her attorney to prove negligence by showing that a health care professional did not meet the standards of care.
The proof of this standard of treatment usually requires the assistance of a medical expert witness. They are essential in determining the standard of care that applies to the case and the extent to which defendants have infringed on that standard.
In addition it is essential to establish that the breach of duty was responsible for your injury or illness. In medical malpractice lawsuits, damages can include hospital expenses as well as lost income, future earning capacity, suffering, pain, and even punitive damage. Your lawyer must establish the value of these damages, which may be greater than your initial medical expenses. In some cases it is simpler than in other. A lot of doctors work in hospitals that grant them staff privileges. In these situations, the physician's employer may be held responsible via theories of vicarious liability.
Breach of duty
A physician owes the patient an obligation to act in accordance to medical standards of care when delivering treatments or providing services. If a physician violates this obligation and an injury occurs the patient is injured, the patient may make a claim for malpractice.
Medical negligence can involve a wide range of actions, including errors in diagnosis, dosage of medications and health management, treatment and post-treatment. A lawsuit is considered valid if the plaintiff is able to prove four legal aspects. These are:
First, there has to be a trusting relationship between the doctor and the patient. The physician must have obligation to inform the patient of any potential risks or complications involved in the procedure. Failure to inform the patient of any risks or complications could cause the physician to be held accountable for negligence, even if the procedure was executed perfectly. For instance, if the physician did not inform the patient that a specific procedure was likely to have 30 percent chance of losing limbs, a patient could not reasonably have agreed to the surgery.
The second element to be proven is a breach of the standard of care. To prove that the doctor deviated from the standard of care, the lawyer will need expert witness testimony. Additionally, it must be proven that this violation caused the patient's injury.
The court system can be slow to resolve medical negligence cases. This is due to the fact that it requires a lot of time from the doctor and attorney, as well as extensive research, interviews with experts, and a thorough study of legal and medical literature. A physician who faces an action for malpractice will have to pay for high court costs as well as attorney fees and work products, as well as expenses for expert testimony.
Causation
Nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals are people and they make mistakes. If those errors rise to the level of medical malpractice, patients are afflicted with serious and life-threatening injuries. Proving that a healthcare provider committed a breach of his or duty and caused injury requires both medical and legal knowledge. A successful case must demonstrate four legal elements: a physician-patient relationship; the doctor's professional obligation to the patient; the breach by the doctor of that obligation; and the injury that resulted from the breach.
The injury needs to be proven to have been caused by a doctor's deviation from the standard of medical care. This is a higher legal standard than "beyond reasonable doubt" in criminal cases. The lawyer representing the plaintiff has to convince the jury or fact finder that it is more likely than not that the physician's actions were negligent, and that negligence was the primary cause of the injury.
Medical experts are often needed early in the process to help establish all of these elements. According to Rhode Island law, only doctors with the right training, education as well as expertise in the field of the alleged malpractice can give expert testimony regarding the issue. This is why choosing a competent medical expert is a crucial aspect of the malpractice case.
Damages
Medical malpractice lawsuits are designed to recover damages which include past and future expenses that result from an injury. These expenses can include hospital bills, doctor's visits, pain and discomfort, and lost wages. The amount of damages awarded is determined by the jury based on the evidence presented.
During the trial the plaintiff or their lawyer must prove four main legal elements: (1) a physician had a professional obligation to them; (2) the doctor violated this duty by acting negligently; (3) the doctor's negligence caused injury and (4) the injury resulted in measurable damages. A doctor's actions are not a breach of professional standards if you're dissatisfied with it. But there need to be a repercussion. A medical expert can help determine whether a doctor has violated the standard of treatment.
The legal procedure for a claim of malpractice may last for years. This is because "discovery" involves the exchange of documents and sworn statements from the parties involved. While many cases settle before reaching the courtrooms, a portion of these claims go all through to the jury trial and verdict.
In an effort to cut the cost of litigation, a few states have adopted a number of legislative and administrative actions, known collectively as tort reform measures, to limit liability for negligence. A few states have implemented alternative dispute resolution systems like binding arbitration. These alternatives to civil litigation are designed to reduce the cost of litigation, speed up settlement and handling of malpractice claims, reduce the number of generous juries, and screen out claims that are frivolous.
