Common Causes of Malpractice (Vimeo.Com) Litigation
Malpractice litigation is a complicated process. If a patient is able to prove four elements, it will be able to determine whether or not the error is a case of malpractice. These are professional obligations; a breach of that obligation; a repercussion from this breach; and quantifiable damage.
Plaintiffs must prove these elements with evidence like expert testimony, depositions and discovery.
Misdiagnosis and Failure to Diagnose
The inability of a doctor to correctly diagnose an illness or Malpractice injury can result in grave complications, or even death. Incorrect diagnosis is a common cause of medical negligence. To prove negligence the patient or their attorney must prove that a competent doctor under similar circumstances and in the same field would not have misdiagnosed the problem.
A misdiagnosis is not always negligence. Even highly skilled and experienced doctors can make mistakes. Therefore, a claim for malpractice must be backed up by other elements like breach, proximate cause or actual injury. If a doctor does not sterilize his equipment prior to giving anesthesia and the patient develops an infection because of this, the doctor might be found to be negligent.
Lawsuits alleging malpractice are typically filed in state trial courts where the alleged error occurred. However, federal courts might have jurisdiction in certain situations. A claim may be filed before a federal court in specific circumstances. For example it could be an issue regarding the statute of limitations or when the parties have different nationalities. Alternatively, some claims are settled through voluntary binding arbitration. This is a less-formal process that is governed by professional decision makers. It is designed to cut costs, expedite the legal proceedings, and eliminate the risk of overly generous juries. However, arbitration isn't accessible for all claims of malpractice.
Wrong Drug Dosage
Medication errors, often referred to as medication mistakes, are one of the most common causes of medical malpractice suits. These errors are caused by a doctor writing prescriptions in the wrong format, or giving the patient the wrong dosage. These errors are often preventable. In the event of an incident the pharmacy, hospital or other health care provider could be held accountable for the injuries caused by a patient who received the wrong dosage of a medication.
A doctor may prescribe the wrong medicine because of a misdiagnosis. Or, malpractice simply making a mistake in the prescription. A health care provider can also administer the incorrect dosage due to a lapse in communication. For instance the nurse might not read a doctor's prescription correctly or a pharmacist could make a mistake when filling the prescription. In other situations, a physician might delay the administration of the correct medication to the patient, resulting in their condition becoming worse.
A person who suffers from a medical malpractice claim must prove, to be successful in a malpractice lawsuit, that the medical professional violated their professional standards and that their injuries were directly attributed to the negligence. This requires medical experts to testify. Medical malpractice cases also must prove the extent and damage of the victim's injuries. This includes the cost of treatment as well as any lost wages. The more the loss of the claim, the greater the value of the claim.
The wrong procedure
This type of incident is not uncommon. It may seem like a challenge for medical professionals to perform the incorrect procedure on patients however, it happens. A surgeon who commits this mistake could be held liable for malpractice. However, a patient who is injured due to a surgical error can also be held accountable for any negligence that occurred on the path to the procedure.
A medical professional accused of malpractice must demonstrate that the patient was injured as a result of a specific act, or inability to perform the act. To prove this the legal team representing the patient must show: (1) that the doctor was required to provide care or treat the patient; (2) that he did not fulfill that duty; (3) that a causal link exists between the breach and the injury; and (4) the injuries result in damages that the legal system can deal with.
A breach of the duty of care is meaningless unless it causes injury which is the reason medical malpractice claims are usually built on a legal concept called "res ipsa loquitur." This law says that, in a majority of cases certain injuries are evident and obvious that they can only be explained by negligent actions.
Based on the circumstances the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim or their legal representative) or their attorney may decide to file a lawsuit in federal or state court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state court, however in certain situations the medical malpractice lawsuit could be filed in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
The wrong-site surgery is rare but it can be considered medical malpractice when the procedure is done in the wrong area of your body. This type of error usually occurs as the result of miscommunication between the members of a surgical team or production pressure that leads to a surgeon being assigned multiple surgeries simultaneously. In these situations the surgeon isn't solely responsible for his or her responsibility for a surgery that was performed on the wrong site because there is a legal rule known as "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the consequence of the error speaks for itself and cannot be attributed to negligence.
If a patient is injured during surgery that is performed on the wrong site and is injured, they may require additional procedures to fix problems caused by the surgical error. Patients and their families are left with costly medical bills. These expenses must be considered when calculating the financial consequences of medical malpractice lawsuits.
The majority of times surgeons are accountable for surgical errors. They are responsible to prepare the patient for 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 in the proper location. In some cases an anesthesiologist or hospital may also be held responsible. Medical malpractice cases are usually filed in state courts, however, they can be transferred under certain circumstances to federal court.
