Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys are in a fiduciary position with their clients and are required to behave with diligence, care and competence. However, just like any other professional, attorneys make mistakes.
Some mistakes made by attorneys are legal malpractice. To prove negligence in a legal sense the person who was hurt must prove duty, breach of duty, causation, and damage. Let's take a look at each of these elements.
Duty-Free
Doctors and medical professionals take the oath of using their skills and experience to treat patients and not cause additional harm. A patient's legal right to be compensated for injuries sustained from medical malpractice hinges on the notion of the duty of care. Your attorney can determine if the actions of your doctor breached the duty of medical care and if these breaches resulted in your injury or illness.
To establish a duty of care, your lawyer has to prove that a medical professional has an legal relationship with you in which they had a fiduciary obligation to perform their duties with an acceptable level of competence and care. The proof of this relationship may require evidence such as the records of your doctor and patient eyewitness accounts and expert testimony from doctors with similar knowledge, experience, and education.
Your lawyer must also prove that the medical professional violated their duty of care by not submitting to the accepted standards of care in their field. This is often referred to as negligence, and your attorney will compare the defendant's behavior with what a reasonable person would perform in the same situation.
Then, your lawyer has to demonstrate that the defendant's breach of duty directly led to injury or loss to you. This is known as causation, and your lawyer will make use of evidence like your doctor-patient records, witness statements and expert testimony to demonstrate that the defendant's failure to meet the standard of care in your case was the direct cause of your injury or loss.
Breach
A doctor owes patients duties of care that adhere to the standards of medical professional practice. If a doctor does not adhere to these standards and the result is an injury, then medical malpractice or negligence can occur. Expert evidence from medical professionals who have similar training, certificates and skills can help determine the standard of care in a particular situation. State and federal laws as well as institute policies can also be used to determine what doctors are required to perform for specific types of patients.
To prevail in a malpractice case the case must be proved that the doctor breached his or their duty of care, and that this breach was a direct cause of injury. In legal terms, this is known as the causation component and it is crucial to establish. For instance, if a broken arm requires an x-ray, the doctor must set the arm and then place it in a cast to ensure proper healing. If the physician failed to do this and the patient suffered an unavoidable loss of use of the arm, then malpractice may have occurred.
Causation
Legal malpractice claims are based on evidence that the attorney made mistakes that led to financial losses to the client. For example the lawyer does not file a lawsuit within the prescribed time of limitations, which results in the case being lost for ever and the victim could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
It is crucial to realize that not all mistakes by lawyers are considered to be malpractice. Planning and strategy errors are not typically considered to be misconduct. Attorneys have a broad range of discretion in making decisions so long as they're reasonable.
In addition, the law allows attorneys the right to perform discovery on a client's behalf, as in the event that it is not negligent or unreasonable. Legal malpractice can be committed through the failure to uncover important documents or evidence, such as medical reports or witness statements. Other instances of malpractice could be a failure to add certain claims or defendants such as omitting to file a survival count in a wrongful death lawsuit or the consistent and persistent inability to communicate with a client.
It is also important to consider the fact that the plaintiff has to demonstrate that, if it weren't for the lawyer's careless conduct, they would have won their case. The claim of malpractice by the plaintiff will be dismissed when it isn't proven. This requirement makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. It is essential to choose an experienced attorney.
Damages
A plaintiff must show that the attorney's actions caused actual financial losses to prevail in a legal malpractice lawsuit. In a lawsuit, this has to be demonstrated using evidence, like expert testimony or correspondence between the attorney and client. In addition the plaintiff must show that a reasonable lawyer would have prevented the harm caused by the attorney's negligence. This is referred to as proximate causation.
The definition of malpractice can be found in a variety of ways. The most frequent mistakes include: not meeting a deadline or statute of limitations; not performing a conflict check on an instance; applying the law improperly to a client's particular situation; and breaking the fiduciary obligation (i.e. the commingling of trust account funds with an attorney's personal accounts), mishandling of a case, and not communicating with clients.
Medical malpractice suits typically involve claims for compensation damages. These damages compensate the victim for out-of-pocket expenses as well as expenses such as medical and hospitals bills, equipment costs to aid in recovery and lost wages. Victims are also able to claim non-economic damages, such as pain and discomfort as well as loss of enjoyment from their lives, as well as emotional anxiety.
In many legal malpractice cases, there are lawsuits for punitive as well as compensatory damages. The first compensates the victim for the damages caused by the negligence of the attorney while the latter is meant to deter future malpractice on the defendant's part.
