Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys have a fiduciary duty to their clients, and are required to act with skill, diligence and care. Attorneys make mistakes just like any other professional.
A mistake made by an attorney is an act of malpractice. To prove negligence in a legal sense the aggrieved party must prove duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages. Let's take a look at each of these components.
Duty
Medical professionals and doctors swear an oath to use their skill and training to treat patients, not cause additional harm. Duty of care is the foundation for a patient's right to compensation if they are injured by medical negligence. Your attorney can determine if your doctor's actions breached the duty of care and if the breach resulted in your injury or illness.
Your lawyer must demonstrate that the medical professional you hired owed the fiduciary obligation to act with reasonable skill and care. This relationship may be proven by eyewitness testimony, doctor-patient records, and expert testimony of doctors with similar education, experience and training.
Your lawyer will also have to demonstrate that the medical professional violated their duty of care by failing to adhere to the accepted standards of their field. This is often referred to by the term negligence. Your lawyer will evaluate the actions of the defendant to what a reasonable individual would do in a similar situation.
In addition, your lawyer must prove that the defendant's breach of duty directly resulted in the loss or injury you suffered. This is known as causation. Your lawyer will make use of evidence like your doctor or patient records, witness testimony and expert testimony, to show that the defendant's inability to meet the standards of care was the direct cause of your injury or loss to you.
Breach
A doctor is obligated to patients to perform duties of care that conform to the standards of medical professional practice. If a doctor doesn't meet these standards, and the resulting failure causes an injury and/or medical malpractice, then negligence could result. Typically the testimony of medical professionals who have similar training, expertise and certifications will aid in determining what the best standard of care should be in a particular case. Federal and state laws, along with policies of the institute, help define what doctors are expected to do for certain kinds of patients.
To prevail in a malpractice lawsuit it is necessary to prove that the doctor breached his or their duty of care, and that the breach was the direct cause of an injury. This is known in legal terms as the causation component and it is essential that it be established. If a doctor is required to conduct an x-ray examination of a broken arm, they have to put the arm in a cast and then correctly set it. If the doctor is unable to do this and the patient loses their the use of the arm, malpractice could have taken place.
Causation
Attorney malpractice claims rely on the evidence that proves that the lawyer's errors caused financial losses to the client. For instance the lawyer fails to file a lawsuit within the prescribed time of limitations, resulting in the case being lost forever the party who suffered damages could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
However, it's crucial to be aware that not all mistakes made by attorneys constitute mistakes that constitute malpractice. Strategy and planning errors do not usually constitute the definition of malpractice. Attorneys have a wide choice of discretion when it comes to making decisions so long as they're able to make them in a reasonable manner.
The law also allows attorneys the right to refuse to conduct discovery on behalf of their clients, so long as the error was not unreasonable or a result of negligence. Inability to find important information or documents like witness statements or medical reports could be a sign of legal malpractice law firm. Other instances of malpractice include the failure to include certain defendants or claims, such as forgetting a survival count for the case of wrongful death or the recurrent failure to communicate with clients.
It is also important to remember that it has to be proven that but the negligence of the lawyer the plaintiff would have won the underlying case. Otherwise, the plaintiff's claim for malpractice will be denied. This requirement makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. For this reason, it's essential to choose an experienced attorney to represent you.
Damages
In order to prevail in a legal malpractice case, the plaintiff must show actual financial losses resulting from the actions of an attorney. This has to be demonstrated in a lawsuit through evidence such as expert testimony, correspondence between client and attorney, billing records and other evidence. In addition the plaintiff must demonstrate that a reasonable lawyer would have prevented the harm that was caused by the attorney's negligence. This is known as proximate causation.
The definition of malpractice can be found in a variety of ways. The most frequent malpractices include: failing a deadline or statute of limitations; not conducting the necessary conflict checks on a case; applying the law in a way that is not appropriate to the client's specific circumstances; and violating the fiduciary duty (i.e. merging funds from a trust account the attorney's personal accounts as well as not communicating with the client are just a few examples of misconduct.
In the majority of medical malpractice cases the plaintiff is seeking compensation damages. These compensations compensate the victim for out-of-pocket expenses as well as losses such as hospital and medical bills, costs of equipment to aid recovery, and lost wages. Victims can also seek non-economic damages, such as discomfort and pain as well as loss of enjoyment from their lives, as well as emotional distress.
In a lot of legal malpractice cases, there are claims for punitive and compensatory damages. The former is intended to compensate the victim for the losses caused by the attorney's negligence and the latter is intended to discourage future malpractice law firms on the part of the defendant.
