How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Medical malpractice lawsuits are a bit more complicated. There are specific guidelines to follow, for example a deadline within which the lawsuit may be filed.
The plaintiff must also prove that the doctor's actions caused injuries and losses. This will require medical and hospital records.
Complaint
Your attorney will submit a court complaint as well as summons once he or she has discovered evidence of negligence. The complaint will identify the defendants and make the allegations you bring against them.
Malpractice claims are founded upon the belief that nurses, doctors and other healthcare providers owe a patient an appropriate level of care. This standard is defined as the level of expertise and prudence that a reasonable medical professional with the same training would apply in similar circumstances. Your legal team must show that your doctor did not adhere to this standard and caused you to suffer damages.
It can be difficult to prove that a physician's standards are the same as another doctor's. It is important to hire an attorney who has access to experts in the field of medicine to testify on what a competent professional would have done.
Not only doctors make mistakes, but also hospital staff, such as anesthesiologists and nurses. This is especially the case for emergency room personnel where mistakes are frequently made due to a busy environment and overworked employees. Your lawyer may be able to get testimony from experts in the emergency room who can provide evidence of the proper procedure and why your doctor's actions were not up to the standard.
Discovery
During the discovery phase during the discovery phase, your attorney will collect and review evidence that could be used to support a malpractice claim. This includes medical records, witness statements expert testimony and more. These records can also be requested by the legal team opposing the case. This is done through interrogatories or requests for documents. Certain materials are considered to be privileged and confidential due to privacy laws, for instance HIPAA's Privacy Rule.
It is also necessary to prove that your injury was caused by the negligence of the doctor. This is the most difficult aspect of a medical negligence claim, as it requires expert testimony to support your claim.
Your lawyer will also call witnesses to prove that the doctor was negligent. This can include radiologists, dentists, nurses, assistants and other personnel who were involved in the treatment of your health. Your attorney will be skilled in preparing powerful and effective depositions to convince these witnesses to admit that the doctor's negligence was not their fault.
Most lawsuits are settled, or settled, before they reach the trial stage. This is especially true in medical malpractice attorney cases because the costs associated with a trial can be very expensive. Once the facts are established you can negotiate a settlement with the doctor's insurer. If a settlement cannot be reached the case will go to trial.
Trial
Your lawyer will file a complaint following having completed the initial investigation. If they determine that you have a strong case of malpractice law firms, they will file the complaint. The complaint will clearly state your allegations and be served to the defendant with a summons.
Discovery is the next phase. This involves the exchange of medical records as well as depositions from witnesses. Your lawyer will make use of the evidence to prove that your doctor did not follow the standard of care. The goal is to prove that the error resulted from the negligence of the doctor that caused damage.
Your medical malpractice lawyer will also collaborate with one or more expert witnesses to back your claim. These experts will be provided medical records and detailed information regarding your case in order to prepare for their deposition and testimony. They may also help in making your case ready for trial.
Your lawyer will begin discussions on settlement with the defense team as part of the trial preparation. This process can last for many years. During this period, you'll be recovering from your injuries while determining the magnitude and value of your losses. When you can, it's beneficial for everyone to avoid litigation and settle out of court. Your lawyer will carefully evaluate the merits of any settlement proposal with your current and future recovery. If the settlement is fair your lawyer will advise you to accept it.
Damages
During the discovery phase, plaintiffs will need to prove that their losses are substantial and that the negligence of the defendant caused these damages. If, for instance, the doctor failed to inform the patient of the 30% likelihood that the procedure will result in the loss of limb, and the surgery was successful, but the patient lost a limb and limb, then the medical professional could be held accountable for negligence.
A victim could also prove that a competent lawyer could have prevented or mitigated their financial loss. This is often referred to as the "but for" test. In addition, it is necessary to demonstrate that the plaintiff was liable for costs in pursuit of a successful legal claim which are more than the amount sought as compensation.
Our medical malpractice lawyers can explain the different types of damages that can be caused by a malpractice lawsuit including past, present and future medical expenses as well as lost income, suffering as well as other non-economic losses. The more money you are awarded is, the more serious injury. A verdict that is successful could be overturned by an appeal. So, settling outside of court can be a viable alternative for some clients. It can save money as well as time on court costs. It also avoids the risk of having a jury choosing a case based on emotion rather than fact.
