How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
A patient who finds an object foreign to her body, such as surgical clamps in her body after gall bladder surgery is able to sue for medical malpractice. A successful claim must demonstrate the elements of medical malpractice: duty, deviation from the duty, and direct cause.
Our clients must establish a direct link between the breach of duty, and the injury. This is referred to as proximate cause.
The reason for injury
A medical malpractice case can be filed by the injured person or a person who is legally authorized to represent them. This can be the spouse or adult child or parent, guardian or administrator of the estate of a deceased patient depending on the circumstances. The plaintiff in a medical malpractice suit is the health professional. This could be a nurse, doctor or therapist, or any other health professional.
Expert testimony is often required in malpractice cases. Medical experts are required to testify on whether or the medical professional followed the standard of care for their particular area of expertise. They must also testify as to the harm caused by the actions or inactions of a doctor.
The consequences of negligence and mistakes can be devastating. An incorrect diagnosis can lead to serious consequences, such as an illness that could be life-threatening. Other kinds of injuries include operating on the wrong body part or putting instruments inside the patient during surgery.
The patient must establish four legal elements of a malpractice claim which include a duty to the patient by the doctor and a breach of this duty; an injury caused by the breach and the consequential damages. In some states, like New York, the law restricts the amount of money that could be awarded for a malpractice claim.
Causation
The injury element is known as the causation. It is one of most crucial aspects of a medical malpractice claim. To establish causation, the plaintiff must prove that they suffered an injury on a balance of probabilities as a result of the negligence of the doctor. This can be a challenging task for several reasons.
Many of the injuries that form the basis of a medical negligence lawsuit stem from long-term conditions or ongoing conditions that existed prior to when treatment began. The time period for filing a medical malpractice case could be extended over a period of time and injuries can develop slowly.
In these instances it is difficult to prove that a medical professional's failure to adhere to the standard of care which led to the injury is a challenge. However, the patient who is afflicted may be able to use the evidence collected by the attorney, such as medical malpractice attorney documents and expert testimony.
During the discovery process, which is part of the legal process for preparation for trial, your lawyer may request disclosure of expert testimony and other documents from defendants' attorneys. The doctor who is representing the case will be required to give deposition. This is a declaration which is under an oath. Your lawyer can cross-examine the doctor and challenge their findings. The jury will decide whether the plaintiff has proved the elements of the case which include breach of duty, breach and causation.
Negligence
The plaintiff must convince the jury when bringing a lawsuit for medical malpractice that it is likely that the doctor did not fulfill his or her obligations as physician and that the actions led to injury. The lawyer representing the plaintiff must demonstrate this with evidence gathered through pre-trial discovery, which involves seeking disclosure of documents, which includes medical records from all parties who are involved in the lawsuit. Depositions, in which statements are made under oath, and recorded for use at trial, are also a part of this procedure.
A doctor has violated their professional obligation by doing something that an ordinary prudent doctor would not have done in the same circumstances. It must be proven that the breach caused injury directly to the patient. This is called causation or causal proximate causes. For instance the patient is admitted to the hospital for a hernia surgery and is later told that he or his gall bladder removed instead. This is medical negligence as the removal was not beneficial for the patient.
Medical malpractice suits must be filed within the legal time frame, also known as the statute of limitations. This is different from state to state. The victim must show that the inadequate treatment caused injury, and then they must prove what monetary compensation they deserve.
