Making Medical Malpractice Legal
Medical malpractice is a complex legal issue. Physicians must take steps to guard against potential liability by purchasing appropriate medical malpractice insurance.
Patients must prove that the physician's breach of duty has caused them harm. Damages are based on economic losses, such as lost income, future medical expenses and other non-economic losses like discomfort and pain.
Duty of care
The first thing medical malpractice lawyers need to establish in a case is the obligation of care. All healthcare professionals owe their patients the obligation of acting according to the current standard of care in their specific area of expertise. This includes doctors and nurses as well as other medical professionals. This includes medical students, interns and assistants under the supervision of a physician or doctor.
The standard of care is set by a medical expert witness in court. They examine the medical records to determine what a reputable physician in the same area would have done under similar circumstances.
If the healthcare professional's actions or lack of care fell below this standard, they acted in violation of their duty of care and caused harm. The injured patient must then show that the healthcare professional's breach directly impacted their losses. These could include scarring, pain and other injuries. This could include medical malpractice lawsuits expenses loss of wages, as well as other financial losses.
If a surgeon has left the surgical instrument in the patient following surgery, it could cause discomfort or other issues which could lead to damage. A medical malpractice lawyer can prove that the surgical team's lapse of duty caused the damages by relying on the testimony of medical experts. This is referred to as direct causation. The patient is also required to provide proof of their injuries.
Breach of duty
A malpractice lawsuit can be filed when a medical professional violates the accepted standard of care and causes injuries to the patient. The party who suffered the injury must demonstrate that the doctor violated their duty of caring by providing care that was substandard. In other words, the doctor acted negligently and this action caused the patient to suffer damages.
To prove that a physician breached their duty to care, a knowledgeable attorney must present expert testimony to show that the defendant did not possess or exercise the degree of knowledge and skill required by physicians who specialize in their field. The plaintiff should also prove that there is a direct relationship between the alleged negligence and the injuries sustained. This is known as causation.
Additionally, the injured plaintiff must demonstrate that they would not have chosen the course of treatment had they been adequately informed. This is also known as the principle of informed consent. Doctors are required to inform patients of potential complications or risks that may arise from procedures prior to deciding to perform surgery or place the patient under anesthesia.
The statute of limitations is a period of time that must be met by the patient who was injured to bring a claim against medical malpractice. No matter how serious the mistake of the medical professional or how severely the patient was injured the judge will almost always dismiss any claim that is filed after the statute of limitations has expired. Certain states require that the parties to a lawsuit for medical malpractice submit their claims to an independent screening panel or arbitral arbitration on a voluntary basis as an alternative to trial.
Causation
Both the attorneys and the doctors involved in the litigation must put in a lot of time and money to demonstrate medical malpractice. To prove that a doctor’s treatment was not in accordance with the standards, it is necessary to look over records, talk to witnesses, and examine medical literature. Additionally, lawsuits must be filed within a period of time set by law. Generally speaking, this deadline -- also known as the statute of limitations begins to run when the mistake in health care occurred or when the patient realized (or ought to have realized in the eyes of the law) that they were hurt due to a doctor's error.
Causation is the fourth and most important element of a malpractice case. It is often the most difficult thing to prove. Lawyers must prove that a breach by a doctor in the duty of care led to injury to a patient, and that the injury could not have occurred if it weren't for the physician’s negligence. This is known as actual or proximate causes. The legal requirement to prove this element differs than that required in criminal proceedings, in which the proof must be beyond reasonable doubt.
If a lawyer can prove the three main elements, then the person who was the victim of malpractice could be entitled to financial compensation from the defendant. The purpose of these monetary damages is to compensate the victim for injuries and loss of quality of life and other damages.
Damages
Medical malpractice cases can be a bit tense and require expert testimony. The plaintiff's attorney must prove that the doctor's negligence caused him to not meet a standard of care, that this failure caused injury, and that such injury led to damages. The plaintiff must also prove that the injury can be quantified in terms of financial value.
Medical negligence lawsuits can be among the most complex and costly legal actions. To combat the high costs of litigation, many states have implemented tort reform measures which aim to increase efficiency, minimize frivolous claims, and pay the injured fairly. These measures include reducing what plaintiffs can be compensated for suffering and pain, limiting the number of defendants accountable for paying an award and requiring arbitration or mediation.
Many malpractice claims also involve technical issues that are difficult for juries and judges. This is why experts are so crucial in these cases. If a surgeon makes an error during surgery, the lawyer for the patient must hire an orthopedic surgeon to explain how the mistake could not have occurred if the surgeon had acted according to the pertinent medical guidelines.
