Plaintiffs must prove these elements through evidence like expert testimony, depositions, or discovery.
Undiagnosed or Incorrectly Diagnosed
The failure of a physician to correctly diagnose an illness or injury can result in serious complications or even death. The misdiagnosis of a patient is a frequent reason for medical malpractice. To prove negligence the patient or their lawyer must demonstrate that a competent doctor under similar circumstances and working in the same specialty would not have missed the diagnosis.
A misdiagnosis is not always malpractice. Even highly skilled and experienced doctors make mistakes, so an allegation of malpractice needs to be supported by other factors such as breach, proximate causality and actual injury. For example the case where a physician fails to properly sterilize their equipment before administering anesthesia, and the patient develops an infection in the process the doctor may be found to be negligent.
The majority of lawsuits involving malpractice are filed in state trial courts, where the alleged misconduct occurred. However, federal courts could be able to handle cases in certain circumstances. A case may be brought before federal court in certain circumstances. For example it could involve a dispute about the statute of limitations or when the parties are of different citizenships. Some claims are settled by arbitration that is binding and voluntary. This is a less formal procedure which involves professional decision makers and is designed to cut costs, speed up legal proceedings, and eliminate the risk of overly generous juries. Arbitration is not always available in cases of misconduct.
Wrong Drug Dosage
Medication mistakes, also referred to as medication errors, are among the most common causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. They can be the result of a doctor prescribing a prescription in error or administering the wrong dosage to patients. These mistakes are often avoidable. Based on the circumstances the situation, a pharmacist, a hospital or other health care providers could be held accountable for the injuries resulting from patients who were given the wrong dosage of a medication.
A doctor might prescribe the wrong medication because of a misdiagnosis or simply failing to read the prescription. A health professional can also administer the wrong dosage due to a failure in communication. For example the nurse might interpret a doctor's prescription incorrectly or a pharmacist might have a mistake while filling the prescription. In other cases, a physician might delay in administering the correct medication to the patient, which could result in the patient's condition getting worse.
In order to be successful in a malpractice lawsuit, a victim must show that the medical professional acted in breach of their standard of care, and that their negligence directly led to their injuries. This requires medical experts to testify. Moreover, a medical malpractice claim must establish the extent of the injuries suffered by a victim and the damage they sustained as a result of the negligence. This includes the cost of treatment for the victim as well as any wages lost. The more loss you suffer, the higher the value of the claim.
Incorrect Procedure
This kind of situation is not uncommon. It may seem like a challenge for medical professionals to perform the wrong procedure on patients, however, it is a reality. The surgeon who makes this error could be held accountable for malpractice. A patient who is injured as a result of an error during surgery can be held responsible for any negligence that occurred during the procedure.
A health care professional who is accused of negligence must prove that the patient was injured because of a specific act, or failure to take action. To prove this, the patient's legal team must prove that (1) the doctor had the obligation to provide medical care or treatment; (2) that the doctor breached this duty; (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 has no significance unless it causes injury which is the reason medical malpractice claims are typically based on a legal doctrine called "res ipsa loquitur." This law states that, in the majority of cases certain injuries are obvious and recognizable that they are only explained by negligence.
Depending on the facts, the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim, or their legal representative) or their lawyer could choose to file in state or federal court. Most malpractice cases are filed in state court, but under limited circumstances, a medical malpractice lawsuit can be brought in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
Surgery performed on the wrong site is a very rare error, but it may be considered medical malpractice when the procedure is performed on the wrong part of the body. This type of error is usually due to miscommunication between members of a surgical team or production pressure that leads to an individual surgeon being assigned multiple surgeries at once. In these instances the surgeon isn't solely responsible for a wrong-site operation because of a legal rule known as "res ipsa locquitur", which states that the result is a matter of fact and cannot be attributed to negligence.
If a patient is injured by wrong-site surgery, he or she may require additional procedures to fix issues that were caused due to the surgical error. Patients and their families are left with high medical bills. These costs should be considered when calculating the financial consequences of medical malpractice claims.
Surgeons are usually held liable for surgical errors as they are the ones who are responsible for properly getting ready for the procedure and double-checking the patient's medical chart and medical records, coordinating effectively with the other members of the medical team, and making sure that the incision has been placed at the right place. In some instances, an anesthesiologist or a hospital could also be accountable. Medical malpractice claims are usually filed in state courts, but under certain circumstances, they can be transferred to federal courts.
