Making Medical Malpractice Legal
Medical malpractice is a complex legal field. Physicians need to take steps to safeguard themselves from the risk of liability by obtaining a sufficient medical malpractice insurance.
Patients must prove that the physician's failure to fulfill duty caused harm to them, and damages are dependent on the actual economic losses such as lost income, expenses for future medical procedures, as well as non-economic losses, such as suffering and pain.
Duty of care
The duty of care is a key element that a medical malpractice lawyer must establish in the case. All healthcare professionals are required towards their patients to perform according to the standard of care that is applicable in their field. This includes doctors and nurses as also other medical professionals. This includes medical students, interns and assistants who work under supervision of a doctor or physician.
The quality of care is set by an expert medical malpractice lawsuits witness in the court. They look over the medical records and compare them with what a competent doctor in the same field would do under similar circumstances.
If the healthcare professional's actions or lack of actions fell short of this standard, they violated their duty of care and caused harm. The injured patient has to show that the professional's actions directly impacted their losses. This could include scarring, pain, and other injuries. They may also include financial losses, such as medical expenses and lost wages.
For instance, if a surgeon left a surgical tool in the patient after surgery, it could cause discomfort and other issues that result in damage. A medical malpractice lawyer can demonstrate that the surgical team's lack of their duty caused these damage through testimony from an expert in medical practice. This is known as direct causation. The patient is also required to provide proof of their injuries.
Breach of duty
A malpractice lawsuit can be filed if a medical professional violates the accepted standard of practice and results in injury to the patient. The person who was injured must prove that the doctor acted in breach of their duty to care by providing substandard care. The doctor was negligently, and the negligence caused the patient to suffer injury.
To prove that the physician breached their duty to care, a skilled attorney needs to present expert testimony to show that the defendant did not possess or exercise the level of expertise and knowledge possessed by physicians in their specialty. The plaintiff must also demonstrate that there is a direct relationship between the alleged negligence, and the injuries suffered. This is called causation.
A plaintiff who has been injured must also show that he or she would not have chosen a particular treatment if properly informed. This is also known as the principle of informed permission. Doctors are required to inform patients of possible complications or risks that may arise from the procedure prior to performing surgery or place the patient under anesthesia.
The statute of limitations is a time limit that must be complied with by the patient who was injured to bring a claim against medical malpractice. No matter how serious the error of the health professional or how seriously the patient has been injured the judge will almost always dismiss any claim filed after statute of limitations has expired. Some states require that parties to a medical malpractice lawsuit submit their claims to an independent screening panel or to arbitral arbitration on a voluntary basis in lieu of a trial.
Causation
Medical malpractice claims require a substantial amount in time and money both for the doctors involved in the lawsuit and their lawyers. The process of proving that the doctor's treatment was different from the accepted standard requires extensive analysis of medical records, interview with witnesses, and analysis of medical literature. Additionally, lawsuits must be filed within a period of time that is set by law. Generally, this deadline - referred to as the statute of limitations, begins to expire when the mistake in health care occurred or when a patient discovers (or should have known under the terms of the law) that they were hurt due to a doctor's error.
Proving causation is one of the four essential elements of a medical malpractice case and probably the most difficult one to prove. A lawyer must prove that a physician's breach of the duty of care led to injuries to a patient and that the injury would not have occurred but due to the negligence of the doctor. This is known as proximate or actual cause. The legal standard for proof of this element differs from the one used in criminal cases, where evidence must be beyond reasonable doubt.
If a lawyer can establish the three main elements, then the sufferer of malpractice could be able to receive an amount of money from the defendant. The purpose of these monetary damages is to compensate the victim for injuries or loss of quality of life, and other expenses.
Damages
Medical malpractice cases are usually complex and require extensive expert testimony. The plaintiff's lawyer must show that a physician failed to adhere to an established standard of medical treatment and that the failure led to injuries and that the injury resulted in damages. The plaintiff also needs to prove that the injury was measurable in terms of dollars.
Medical negligence cases are among the most complex and expensive legal proceedings to bring. To combat the high costs of litigation, several states have introduced tort reform laws that aim to improve efficiency, reduce frivolous claims, and compensate the injured fairly. Some of these measures include limiting the amount that plaintiffs can get for suffering and pain while limiting the number defendants who may be responsible for the payment of an award (joint and multiple liability) as well as the requirement of mediation, arbitration or the submission of claims to a panel of judges for a screening prior to trial; and imposing caps on damages in medical malpractice suits.
In addition, many malpractice cases are based on highly technical issues that are difficult for judges and juries to understand. This is why experts are important in these cases. For instance, if a surgeon makes a mistake during a surgery the patient's lawyer needs to employ an orthopedic expert to explain how that specific error could not have happened had the surgeon performed the surgery in accordance with the relevant medical guidelines of care.
