Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation

The legal process for defending malpractice is a complex procedure. The question of whether or not an error is malpractice lawsuit based on whether the patient can prove four legal elements that include a professional obligation; breach of this duty; injury resulting from the breach; and tangible damages.

Plaintiffs must also prove the elements using evidence such as expert testimony and depositions.

Misdiagnosis or Failure to Diagnose

Failure to identify an injury or illness accurately could lead to serious complications, or even death. It is a typical cause of medical negligence. To prove negligence, the patient or their attorney must demonstrate that a competent physician under similar circumstances and in the same specialty would not have misdiagnosed the condition.

Not every misdiagnosis is an error, but. Even highly experienced and trained doctors can make errors. Therefore, a claim for malpractice must be supported with other elements such as breach, proximate cause and actual injury. For instance If a doctor does not properly sterilize their equipment prior to giving anesthesia, and the patient develops an infection as a result the doctor may be guilty of malpractice.

The majority of lawsuits involving malpractice are filed in state trial courts where the alleged malpractice occurred. Federal courts can be able to hear cases in certain instances. For instance, a lawsuit could be filed in federal court if it is a dispute over the statute of limitations or if there is a substantial diversity of citizenship of the parties to the case. Some claims are settled by binding voluntary arbitration. This is a less formal process with professional decision makers. It is designed to reduce costs, speed up legal proceedings and remove the possibility of excessively generous juries. However, arbitration is not available for all malpractice attorneys claims.

Wrong Drug Dosage

Medication errors, often referred to as medication errors are among the main reasons for medical malpractice suits. They can involve a physician prescribing the wrong medication or delivering the wrong dose to a patient. These mistakes are often avoidable. In certain circumstances, a hospital, its staff, a pharmacist or other health care providers could be held accountable for the injuries suffered by patients who were given the wrong dosage of medication.

A doctor could prescribe the wrong medication because of a misdiagnosis or by simply making a mistake in the prescription. A health care provider may also prescribe the wrong dose due to an inability to communicate for example, when the nurse reads a doctor's handwritten script incorrectly or the pharmacist makes a mistake in filling out the prescription. In other situations, a doctor could delay the proper medication to the patient, resulting in their condition becoming worse.

To be successful in an action for malpractice, a victim must establish that the medical professional did not meet their standard of care, and that their negligence directly led to the injuries. This requires medical experts to be present. In addition, a medical mishap claim must establish the extent of the victim's injuries as well as the damages they suffered as a result of the negligence. This includes the cost of treatment and any lost wages. In general, the greater a person's losses are and the greater the value of the claim will be.

Unskillful Procedure

It's not likely that medical professionals could perform the incorrect procedure on a patient however, this type of event occurs. A surgeon who makes this error can be found liable for malpractice. However patients who are injured due to a surgical error could also be held responsible for any negligence that occurred during the path to the procedure.

A medical professional accused of negligence must prove that the patient was injured as a result of the specific act or failure to act. To prove this the legal team representing the patient must prove that: (1) the doctor was under an obligation to provide treatment or treatment; (2) that the doctor did not fulfill this duty; (3) that there is a direct causal link between the breach and the injury; and (4) that the injury causes damages that the legal system is able to deal with.

A breach of duty of care has no significance unless it results in injury. This is why medical malpractice cases are usually based on the legal doctrine "res ipsa locquitur," which states that certain injuries are so obvious that they can be explained only through negligence.

Based on the circumstances the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim, or their legal representative) or their lawyer may decide to file the case either in state or federal court. Most malpractice cases are filed in state court. However, in certain situations medical malpractice lawsuits can be brought in federal district court.

Wrong Surgery

Surgery performed on the wrong site is a very rare mistake, but it could be considered medical malpractice if the procedure is performed on the wrong side of the body. This type of error is usually caused by miscommunication between members of a surgical team, or production pressure that leads to the surgeon being tasked with multiple surgeries simultaneously. In these cases the surgeon is not solely responsible for an incorrect-site operation due to a legal rule known as "res ipsa locquitur", which states that the outcome speaks for itself and cannot be blamed on negligence.

If someone is injured during an operation that was performed on the wrong site, he or her may need additional procedures to correct problems that were aggravated due to the error. This can result in high medical expenses for the patient and their families. These costs should be considered when calculating the financial impact of medical malpractice claims.

Surgeons are often found to be responsible for surgical mistakes because they are the ones who are responsible for properly prepping for the operation by double-checking patient's chart and medical records, coordinating effectively with the other members of the medical team and making sure that the incision has been located at the correct location. In certain instances hospitals or anesthesiologists can also be held liable. Medical malpractice cases are typically filed in state courts. However, in certain situations they may be transferred to federal courts.
