How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

Medical malpractice lawsuits are a complex matter. There are certain guidelines to be followed, which include the time frame within which the lawsuit can be filed.

The claimant must also prove that the doctor's actions resulted in injuries and losses. This will require hospital and medical documents.

Complaint

Your lawyer will file a court complaint and summons when he/she has discovered evidence of negligence. The complaint will identify the defendants and make the allegations against them.

Malpractice claims are founded upon the belief that nurses, doctors, or other healthcare professionals owe patients a certain standard of care. This is the level of competence and care a reasonably prudent doctor with similar training would employ in similar circumstances. Your legal team needs to prove that your doctor breached this standard that resulted in injuries due to which you sustained quantifiable damages.

It can be difficult to prove that a physician's standards are the same as another doctor's. It is essential to find an attorney who has access to experts in the medical field to testify on what a reasonable doctor would have done.

It is not just physicians who commit medical errors, hospital staff members, such as nurses and anesthesiologists can commit malpractice. This is especially true for emergency room personnel, where errors are usually due to a chaotic environment and overworked workers. Your lawyer may be able to get testimony from experts in the emergency department who can explain what could have been done and how the actions of your doctor did not meet the standards.

Discovery

During the discovery stage during the discovery phase, your lawyer will gather and analyze evidence that could prove a malpractice case. This includes medical records, witness statements, expert testimony, and more. The information may also be requested by the legal team opposing the case. This usually happens through interrogatories as well as requests for production of documents. Certain documents could be classified as confidential or privileged because of privacy laws, such as HIPAA and its Privacy Rule.

You must also prove that your injury is the result of the negligence of the doctor. This is the most difficult aspect of a medical negligence case since it requires expert witness testimony to support your claim.

Your lawyer will also depose any witnesses that can prove the doctor's negligent actions. This can include assistants, nurses, radiologists, dentists and other personnel who were involved in your care. Your lawyer will be proficient in taking effective and convincing depositions to convince these witnesses to admit that the doctor was negligent.

The majority of lawsuits are settled prior to trial. This is particularly true in medical malpractice attorney cases because the costs involved in trial can be expensive. After the facts of your case have been established, a settlement can be negotiated between you and the insurer of your doctor. If a settlement isn't reached, the case may be heard in court.

Trial

Your lawyer will file a complaint following completing the initial investigation. If they find that you have a strong case for malpractice, then they will file the complaint. The complaint will be clear in its allegations and be sent to the defendant with the summons.

Discovery is the next stage. The next phase involves discovery. This includes the exchange and deposition of witnesses. Your lawyer will make use of these documents to prove your doctor's violation of the standard of care. The goal is to show that the error was the result of the negligence of your doctor, and caused damage.

In addition to the witness's testimony Your medical malpractice lawyer will also work with two or more experts to support your claim. They will be provided with medical records as well as detailed information about your case to prepare for their depositions and testimony. They can also assist you in preparing your case for trial.

As part of the trial preparation your lawyer will start negotiations for settlement with the defense. This process continues throughout the trial, and can last for several years. During this time, you are recovering from your injuries and determining how much of your damages. It's in everyone's best interest to settle outside of court whenever possible. Your attorney will carefully evaluate the advantages of a settlement offer against your current and future recovery. If the settlement offers are reasonable your lawyer will advise you to accept it.

Damages

During the discovery phase, plaintiffs will need to show that their losses are significant and that the negligence of the defendant has contributed to the damages. For instance, if a doctor did not inform the patient that the procedure was associated with a 30 percent chance of losing a limb. Moreover, if the procedure was carried out perfectly but the patient lost their arm or limb, the doctor could be liable for malpractice.

A victim can also prove that a competent lawyer could have averted or reduced the financial loss. This is sometimes referred to as the "but for" test. It is also important to show that the plaintiff has incurred expenses in pursuing a successful legal claim, that is greater than the amount sought in compensation.

Our medical malpractice lawyers can explain the different types of damages that may be attained in a malpractice case including future, present and past medical expenses as well as lost income, suffering and other non-economic losses. The greater the amount of money awarded the more serious the injury. However, a verdict that is deemed to be a success could be reversed in appeal. So, settling out of court may be a beneficial option for some clients. It can help save time and money on litigation fees, as well as avoid the potential risk of having a jury decide cases on the basis of emotions instead of facts.
