Medical Malpractice Law
Even with the most thorough training and a pledge to do no harm, medical errors could occur. When medical errors do occur, the consequences for patients can be devastating.
Malpractice law is a specific area of tort law which deals specifically with professional negligence. A malpractice lawsuit must meet four main requirements.
In the United States, malpractice claims are typically filed in state court. To gather evidence, a range of legal tools are employed to gather evidence, including depositions under an oath.
Duty of care
A doctor is bound by a duty of care when you have a patient-doctor relationship. This is true whether the doctor is treating you in a hospital, or in your own home. However, there are circumstances where doctors can be responsible for malpractice even if there isn't the existence of a patient-doctor relationship.
A person with a duty of care has to act in a manner that an ordinary person would in the same situation. For instance, a driver is obliged to drive carefully and not cause injuries to other drivers on the road. If the driver does not adhere to this duty and results in an accident, they could be held accountable for any injuries that result.
Doctors are required to care for their patients at all times. This is even when a doctor is not your primary doctor, such as when asking for advice in an elevator or the restaurant. However, the obligation to be a good neighbor is often restricted by Good Samaritan laws.
Medical professionals are also bound by a duty of care to warn their patients about the dangers that are associated with certain procedures and treatments. Failure to do so constitutes an infraction of the medical professional's duty. A doctor could also violate their duty of care when they give you a medication that is known to interact with other medications that you are taking.
Breach of duty
In general, doctors are under a duty to their patients to provide medical care that meets the accepted standards of practice. This standard is governed by the laws of the present as well as by standards developed by medical associations. If a doctor fails to fulfill this duty, they are acting negligently. A malpractice lawyer will investigate the evidence to determine whether the standard of care was breached.
A doctor could be in violation of their duty of care in a variety of ways. It is not just a matter of whether they've done something a reasonable person wouldn't do in the same situation; it also includes what they should have done and didn't do. Expert witness testimony is typically required to determine the accepted standards of medical practice.
A doctor could have erred in their responsibilities if they prescribe the medication that is dangerously incompatible with another medication. This is a common mistake which can have severe consequences for your health.
However, merely showing that there was a breach of duty is not enough to establish the malpractice. To be awarded damages, you need to prove that there is a direct connection between the breach of duty by the doctor and your injury or illness. This is referred to as causation. It is a complex connection to establish in certain cases, but a skilled malpractice lawyer will work hard to find the evidence to prove this connection.
Causation
A malpractice claim can be substantiated only if the plaintiff is able to prove that the defendant's negligence resulted in the injury and losses. Proving medical negligence requires use of expert testimony to prove the existence of a patient-provider relationship and that the provider breached the acceptable standard of care. It is crucial that the injury suffered by an individual be directly related to the act or omission which violated the standard. This is called causality or proximate causes.
In order to prove legal malpractice, it is necessary to prove that the negligence of the attorney has had a significant negative impact on you. It is essential to prove that the expenses of a lawsuit exceed the losses. The plaintiff must also show that the negligence caused actual and measurable damage.
The majority of malpractice cases undergo discovery that includes oral depositions. Your lawyer will represent your interests at these depositions. They will question defense experts to challenge their conclusions, and to show that the evidence backs the assertions. A medical malpractice attorney lawyer with experience is essential to your case as establishing the four elements, namely duty breach, causation and harm, can be a challenge and time-consuming. Your lawyer is aware of every step in the process and can help to meet all the requirements. The more steps you can complete the higher your chance of winning.
Damages
The amount of compensation a person will receive when suing a medical professional is contingent on the severity of their injury, as well as the much money they will need to pay for medical expenses as well as lost income or any other financial losses. In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded to the plaintiff as a punishment for the doctor's behavior. These are extremely rare, as doctors must have acted in recklessness or intent to receive punitive damages.
The law requires that anyone asserting medical malpractice demonstrate four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was an obligation of care on the part of the physician; (2) the doctor breached this duty by deviating from the established standards of practice; (3) as a result of the doctor's deviance the victim was injured; and (4) the injury is measurable in terms of an amount in money. In addition, the injured party must start a lawsuit within applicable statute of limitations that varies from state to state.
The law recognizes that medical malpractice lawsuits can be expensive and malpractice lawsuits complex to resolve, especially when they involve complex issues such as proximate cause or foreseeability. Its aim is to provide victims the justice they are entitled to, without allowing unjustified and opportunistic lawsuits delay the justice system. It also aims to cut costs by requiring all defendants to take responsibility for the success of a lawsuit (joint-and-several responsibility) as well as limit the amount the plaintiff can recover if the other defendants fail to pay ("damage cap"); and preventing physicians from practicing defensive medical, which involves changing their treatment plans as a response to the threat or malpractice lawsuits.
