Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation is a complicated procedure. Whether or not an error constitutes malpractice depends on whether the patient is able to prove four legal elements which include professional duty and breach of this duty; harm resulting from the breach; and quantifiable damages.
Plaintiffs must be able to prove the elements using evidence, such as expert testimony and depositions.
Misdiagnosis and Failure to Diagnose
Inability to recognize an injury or illness accurately can result in serious complications, or even death. A large number of medical malpractice cases involve mistaken diagnosis. To show negligence, the patient or their lawyer needs to prove that a seasoned doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed a problem.
A misdiagnosis is not always negligence. Even experienced and highly trained doctors make mistakes. Therefore, any claim for malpractice must be backed by other factors, such as breach, proximate cause and actual injury. For example the case where a physician does not properly sterilize their equipment before administering anesthesia to a patient and they develop an infection as a result the doctor may be liable for malpractice.
In most cases, lawsuits that allege malpractice lawsuit will be filed in the state trial court where the alleged misconduct occurred. However, federal courts could be able to hear cases in specific circumstances. A claim may be filed before a federal court in specific circumstances. For instance, it may involve the issue of a statute of limitation or if the parties are of different citizenships. Certain claims are settled through arbitral arbitration, which is a binding process. This is a less formal procedure that involves professional decision makers. It is designed to minimize costs, speed up legal process, and reduce the risk associated with overly generous juries. However, arbitration is not available for all malpractice lawyer claims.
Wrong Drug Dosage
Medication mistakes, also referred to as medication errors, are one of the main causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. These errors can be caused by a physician who writes a prescription in the wrong format or giving the patient the wrong dosage. These errors are usually avoidable. In certain circumstances the hospital or its staff, pharmacist or other health care provider could be held responsible for the harms suffered by a patient who was given the wrong dosage of medication.
A doctor might prescribe the wrong medication to a patient as a result of an inaccurate diagnosis or simply due to a misreading of the prescription. A health care professional could also prescribe the wrong dose due to a breakdown in communication for instance, when nurses read a doctor's handwritten script incorrectly or the pharmacist is mistaken in filling the prescription. In other instances, a physician might delay in administering the correct medication to the patient, which could result in their condition deteriorating.
In order to be successful in a malpractice case, the victim must demonstrate that the medical professional did not meet their standard of care and that the negligence directly contributed to their injuries. This requires medical experts to testify. Additionally, a medical malpractice case must prove the extent of the injuries suffered by a victim and the damages they sustained because of the negligence. This includes the cost of treatment as well as any wage loss. The greater loss is in the greater value of the claim will be.
Unskillful Procedure
This type of incident is not uncommon. It may seem impossible for medical professionals to carry out the wrong procedure on patients but it's true. A surgeon who makes this error could be held liable for malpractice. However those who are injured as a result of a surgical error may also be held liable for any negligence that occurred on the way to the procedure.
A health care professional who is accused of malpractice must prove that the patient was injured due to the specific act or inability to act. To prove this, the patient's legal team must prove that (1) the doctor was in a duty to provide care or treatment; (2) that the doctor breached the duty of care; (3) that there is a direct causal connection between the breach and the injury; and (4) that the injury results in damages that the legal system can resolve.
A breach of the duty of care is meaningless unless it causes injury which is the reason medical malpractice lawsuits are generally founded on a legal principle called "res ipsa loquitur." This law states that, in a majority of cases certain injuries are obvious and evident that they can only be explained by negligence.
Depending on the circumstances, the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim, or their legal representative) or their lawyer could decide to file the claim either in state or federal court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state courts, however under certain circumstances medical malpractice lawsuits can be brought in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
The procedure that is performed on the wrong site is not common but it could be considered medical malpractice if the procedure is performed in the wrong part of your body. This type of error is often caused by miscommunication between the members of a surgical team or production pressure that results in an individual surgeon being assigned multiple surgeries at once. In these situations the surgeon is not solely responsible for an incorrect-site procedure because of the legal principle known as "res ipsa locquitur", which states that the result speaks for itself and cannot be attributed to negligence.
If a patient is injured by wrong-site surgery and is injured, they may require additional procedures to fix problems caused by the surgical mistake. This could result in expensive medical expenses for the patient and their families. These expenses must be taken into consideration when calculating the financial consequences of medical malpractice claims.
Most often surgeons are held accountable for surgical errors. They are accountable in preparing the patient prior to the procedure, as well as checking the medical records and chart of the patient, coordinating with the medical staff, and ensuring that the incision was placed at the correct location. In some instances hospitals or anesthesiologists could also be held accountable. Medical malpractice claims are usually filed in state courts, but under certain circumstances they may be transferred to federal courts.
