Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation involves a complex process. If a patient can demonstrate four elements, it will decide whether or not the mistake is a case of malpractice. These are the following: a professional obligation; a breach of that duty; a loss resulting from this breach; and measurable damage.
Plaintiffs must demonstrate these elements with evidence like expert testimony, depositions, and discovery.
Incorrect diagnosis and failure to diagnose
The failure of a physician to accurately diagnose a disease or injury can lead to serious complications or even death. The misdiagnosis of a patient is a frequent cause of medical malpractice. To prove negligence the patient or their attorney must demonstrate that a competent doctor under similar circumstances and working in the same field would not have misdiagnosed the problem.
It is not always a case of negligence, but. Even highly-trained and experienced doctors are not immune to mistakes. Therefore, a claim of malpractice must be backed by other factors such as breach, proximate reason and actual injury. If a physician fails to sterilize his equipment prior to administering anesthesia and the patient is infected as a result of this, the doctor might be guilty.
Legal actions claiming malpractice are usually filed in state trial courts, where the alleged malpractice occurred. Federal courts may be able to handle the case in certain situations. For example, a claim could be filed in federal court in the event of an issue regarding the time limit or when there is a significant variety of citizenship among the parties to the case. Certain claims are settled through binding arbitration. This is a non-formal procedure which involves professionals who make the decisions. It is designed to reduce costs, expedite the legal process, and reduce the risks associated with large juries. However, arbitration isn't available for all malpractice claims.
Wrong Drug Dosage
Medication mistakes, also referred to as medication errors, are one of the most common causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. These errors are caused by a physician who writes a prescription in a wrong format or giving the patient the wrong dosage. These errors are usually preventable. In the event of an incident an individual pharmacy, hospital or other health care providers could be held accountable for the injuries resulting from an individual who took the wrong dose of a medication.
A doctor may prescribe the incorrect medication to a patient because of an inaccurate diagnosis or simply due to a misreading of the prescription. A health care provider can also administer the incorrect dosage due to a lapse in communication. For example the nurse might read a doctor's script incorrectly or a pharmacist may fail to fill the prescription. In other instances, a physician might delay the administration of the correct medication to the patient, resulting in their condition becoming worse.
A person who suffers from a medical malpractice claim must prove, to be successful in a malpractice claim, that the medical professional violated their standard of practice and that their injuries were directly caused by the negligence. This requires medical experts to testify. Additionally, a medical malpractice claim must establish the extent of the victim's injuries and the damages they sustained because of the negligence. This includes the costs of treatment for a patient and any wages lost. The greater loss is, the more valuable the claim will be.
Incorrect Procedure
It might seem absurd that medical professionals would perform the wrong procedure on a patient, however, this type of event occurs. A surgeon who commits this error can be found accountable for malpractice lawsuit. However, a patient who is injured as a result of a surgical error may also be held liable for any negligence that occurred on the path to the procedure.
Any health care professional who is alleged to be negligent must show that the patient was harmed by a specific action or failure to act. To establish this, the legal team representing the patient has to prove: (1) that the doctor had a responsibility to provide care or treat the patient; (2) that he violated his duty; (3) that a causal connection exists between the breach and injury; and (4) the harm results in damages that which the legal system may address.
A breach of the duty of care is insignificant unless it causes injury this is why medical malpractice lawsuits are generally based on a legal doctrine called "res ipsa loquitur." This law states that, in a lot of instances certain injuries are obvious and evident that they cannot be explained except by negligence.
Depending on the facts, the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim or their legal representative) or their lawyer may decide to file a lawsuit in state or federal court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state courts, however in certain circumstances the medical negligence lawsuit may be filed in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
The wrong-site surgery is a common mistake, but it could be considered medical malpractice when the procedure is performed on the wrong part of the body. This type of error is typically caused by miscommunication between the members of a surgical team, or production pressure that leads to the surgeon being tasked with multiple surgeries at once. In these cases, the surgeon is not alone in his or her responsibility for an incorrect-site procedure due to the legal principle known as "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the effect of the error is evident and can be attributed to negligence.
If a patient is injured during a wrong-site procedure and is injured, they may require additional procedures to rectify problems that were exacerbated due to the error. Patients and their families are left with costly medical bills. These costs should be taken into consideration when calculating the financial impact of medical malpractice lawsuits.
Surgeons are typically held liable for surgical errors because they are the individuals who are accountable for preparing for the operation as well as double-checking the patient's charts and medical records, coordinating effectively with other members of the medical team, and making sure that the incision has been done at the correct place. In certain instances hospitals or anesthesiologists could also be held accountable. Medical malpractice claims are generally filed in state courts, however, under certain circumstances they may be transferred to federal courts.
