Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
The legal process for defending malpractice is a complex procedure. If a patient is able to prove four elements, it will be able to determine whether or not the mistake is malpractice. These are professional obligations in breach of this obligation; an injury that results from the breach; and quantifiable damage.
Plaintiffs must prove these elements with evidence like expert testimony, depositions and discovery.
Misdiagnosis or Failure to Diagnose
Failure to identify an injury or illness in a timely manner could lead to serious complications, or death. A large number of medical malpractice cases involve incorrect diagnosis. To prove negligence, a patient or their lawyer must demonstrate that a skilled doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed the condition.
It is not always a case of an error, but. Even the most experienced and highly trained doctors make mistakes. Therefore, a claim of malpractice must be supported by other factors like breach, proximate causation and actual injury. If a doctor fails to sterilize his equipment prior to administering anesthesia and the patient becomes infected because of this, he could be guilty.
In most instances, lawsuits claiming that there was a mistake will be filed in the state trial court in which the malpractice was alleged to have occurred. Federal courts may be able to handle the case in certain instances. A case may be brought before a federal court under certain circumstances. For example, it may involve the issue of a statute of limitation or when the parties are of different nationalities. Certain claims are settled through binding arbitration. This is a less-formal process that involves professional decision makers. It is designed to reduce costs, expedite the legal process, and remove the risks associated with large juries. Arbitration is not accessible in all cases of malpractice.
The wrong dosage of medication
Medication errors, also known as medication mistakes, are one of the most frequent causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. They can result from a doctor writing a prescription incorrectly or administering the wrong dosage to a patient. These errors are usually preventable. According to the situation the pharmacy, hospital or other health care provider could be held responsible for the injuries resulting from an individual who took the wrong dosage of a medication.
A doctor could prescribe the wrong medicine because of a misdiagnosis or simply misreading the prescription. A health care professional could also prescribe the wrong dosage because of a breakdown in communication for instance, when a nurse reads the doctor's handwritten prescription incorrectly or the pharmacist is mistaken in filling out the prescription. In other instances, a physician might delay administering the correct medication to the patient, which could result in their condition worsening.
A person who suffers from a medical malpractice claim must prove, in order to prevail on a malpractice claim that the medical professional breached their professional standards and that their injuries were directly caused by the negligence. This requires testimony from a medical expert. Moreover, a medical malpractice case must demonstrate the extent of a victim's injuries and the damages they suffered as a result of the negligence. This includes the costs of a person's treatment and any wages lost. The more the loss of the claim, the greater the value of the claim.
Wrong Procedure
It's not likely that medical professionals would perform the wrong procedure on a patient but this type of incident does occur. If a surgeon makes this error may be held responsible for negligence. A patient who suffers injury as a result of a surgical error may be held responsible for any error that occurred during the procedure.
Any health professional who is accused of misconduct must prove that the patient was harmed by a specific act or failure to act. To prove this the legal team of the patient must prove that: (1) the doctor was bound by an obligation to provide care or treatment; (2) that the doctor did not fulfill this duty; (3) that there is a direct causal relationship between the breach and the injury and (4) that the injury results in damages that the legal system could deal with.
A breach of the duty of care has no significance unless it causes injury, which is the reason medical malpractice claims are typically built on a legal concept called "res ipsa loquitur." This law states that, in a majority of cases, certain injuries are so obvious and evident that they cannot be explained except by negligent acts.
Based on the facts the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim or their legal representative) or their lawyer could decide to file the claim in federal or state court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state court, however under certain circumstances medical malpractice lawsuits can be filed in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery

This kind of error is usually caused by a lack of communication between members of the surgical team, or by pressures on production that result in surgeons having several surgeries to perform at the same time. In these instances the surgeon isn't the only one with liability for a wrong-site surgery since there is the legal principle known as "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the consequence of the error is evident and cannot be traced to negligence.
When a patient is injured during surgery that is performed on the wrong site and is injured, they may require additional procedures to fix problems that are aggravated due to the surgical error. Patients and their families are left with expensive medical bills. It is crucial to consider these costs when calculating the financial burden of medical malpractice lawsuits.
Most often, surgeons are held responsible for surgical mistakes. They are responsible to prepare the patient for the procedure, checking the medical records and chart of the patient, communicating with the rest of the medical staff, and ensuring that the incision was placed in the correct place. However, in some instances an anesthesiologist or hospital may also be held responsible. Medical malpractice claims are typically filed in state court but may be transferred in certain circumstances to federal court.
