What Is a medical malpractice lawsuits Malpractice Claim?
A medical malpractice claim is the patient claiming the negligence of a healthcare professional. The patient (or his or her estate should the patient die) must show that the negligence led to injury or harm.
In general, lawsuits that claim medical negligence are filed in state trial courts. The patient who is aggrieved must demonstrate four legal elements to win the case:
Duty of care
In any legal case the plaintiff must demonstrate that a third party or entity was liable to them for a duty of care, and they failed to meet that obligation. In medical malpractice cases this is the obligation of doctors to provide the proper standard of care for their patients. This is usually determined through expert testimony.
Expert witnesses can help determine the appropriate standards of medical treatment and then reveal the ways in which a physician has deviated from these standards when treating a patient. A plaintiff's medical malpractice attorney must then prove that the deviation was directly responsible for the victim's injury.
Expert testimony is crucial for jurors, since the majority of jurors have only a basic understanding of anatomy and are exposed to several medical dramas. This is especially important in medical malpractice claims as it is difficult to establish a minimum standard of care. In the context of a medical malpractice claim, the standard of care is referred to the level of skill of the practitioner, the quality of treatment, and the level of diligence displayed by other physicians in similar specialties in similar circumstances.
Typically, experts in medical malpractice claims are fellow physicians or surgeons with similar training and board certifications. It is often difficult to find an expert who is willing to testify against substandard medical treatment due to the "conspiracy" of silence among doctors.
Breach of duty
Medical malpractice occurs when a physician makes an error that hurts the patient. These errors can lead to new injuries or make existing ones worse. Medical malpractice claims are challenging to prove because they involve complicated laws and concerns. A good medical malpractice attorney will evaluate your case to determine if the doctor has violated their obligation to you.
Your attorney will establish a doctor-patient relation between you and your doctor, which is necessary to prove a malpractice claim. Your attorney will also look into the actions and decisions of your physician to determine whether they complied with what is known as the standard of care for doctors with similar training, background and geographical location in your state.
Physicians are required by their patients to abide by these guidelines without deviation or omission. A breach of duty implies that the physician did not meet your expectations, and this has caused you injury.
Proving that a breach of duty occurred is typically straightforward with the help of your attorney's research and expert witnesses. Those experts can testify as to how the doctor's actions didn't meet the standard of care and explain how another medical professional in similar circumstances would have acted differently. Your lawyer must also link the breach of duty to your injuries and damages. Your lawyer will look over your medical records, prescription and test results, imaging scans and prescriptions to build solid evidence that the breach of duty by the doctor directly contributed to your injuries.
Causation
Medical mistakes can increase the risk of most treatments. To prove causation in a malpractice claim an injured patient must establish a direct connection between the alleged negligence and their injuries. In many instances, expert testimony is required, along with assistance of a medical malpractice attorney.
For example, misdiagnosing a condition or a serious disease is a common error. If a doctor fails to diagnose cancer or another condition, it can have severe consequences for the patient. In this scenario the patient may suffer unnecessarily pain and may even end up dying. In the absence of diagnosing the condition properly, the doctor may have committed a mistake.
Proving that a doctor or hospital failed to treat you appropriately can be difficult and time-consuming. Evidence could come from a number of sources, including medical records or test results, expert witness testimony and depositions. Your attorney can help you obtain and interpret the evidence and also assist you during the deposition process.
It is important to note that only healthcare professionals are liable for malpractice. Doctors and nurses, in contrast to receptionists in medical facilities, are expected to adhere to current standards of medical care. This means that a medical professional must be able to anticipate the consequences in light of their expertise and knowledge.
Damages
In medical malpractice cases, courts hear about monetary damages that are designed to compensate the victim. These types of damages can include future and past medical bills, lost wages, disfigurement, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. In certain cases the punitive damages may be awarded; these are reserved for particularly serious behavior that society has an interest in preventing.
A medical malpractice lawsuit begins with the filing in court of an administrative summons. The parties will then proceed to discovery. It is a process in which the defendant and plaintiff are required to give testimony under oath. This could involve asking for medical records and depositions of the parties involved in a lawsuit, and interviewing witnesses.
One of the primary elements to prove in a medical malpractice case is that the physician had a legal duty to provide medical care and treatment to the patient. The second is that the doctor breached his obligation by failing to follow the medical standards of practice. The third aspect is whether the breach resulted in injury to the patient.
It is important to know that the statutes of limitations (the legally-required time frame within which an action for medical malpractice must be filed) vary from state to states. In New York, there is a statute of limitations of two years and six month (30 months) after the date of the medical malpractice.
