Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys hold a fiduciary relationship with their clients and are expected to behave with diligence, care and ability. Attorneys make mistakes, just like any other professional.
The mistakes made by attorneys are a result of malpractice. To prove negligence in a legal sense, the aggrieved must show obligation, breach of duty, causation and damage. Let's examine each of these aspects.
Duty-Free
Medical professionals and doctors swear to apply their education and experience to help patients and not to cause further harm. Duty of care is the foundation for the right of a patient to be compensated in the event of injury due to medical negligence. Your attorney can help you determine whether or not your doctor's actions violated this duty of care, and if the breach caused injury or illness to you.
To prove a duty of care, your lawyer needs to prove that a medical professional had an agreement with you and have a fiduciary obligation to perform their duties with an acceptable level of competence and care. To prove that the relationship existed, you could require evidence like the records of your doctor-patient or eyewitness testimony, as well as expert testimony from doctors with similar experiences, education and training.
Your lawyer will also have to demonstrate that the medical professional breached their duty of caring by not adhering to the accepted standards in their field. This is usually called negligence. Your lawyer will be able to compare what the defendant did with what a reasonable person would do in the same situation.
Finally, your lawyer must prove that the defendant's lapse of duty directly caused the loss or injury you suffered. This is known as causation. Your lawyer will use evidence like your medical or patient records, witness testimony and expert testimony, to prove that the defendant’s failure to meet the standards of care was the sole reason for the loss or injury to you.
Breach
A doctor is responsible for the duties of care that conform to professional standards in medical practice. If a doctor fails to adhere to these standards and fails to do so results in injury, then medical malpractice and negligence may occur. Typically experts' testimony from medical professionals with similar training, skills or certifications will help determine what the standard of care should be in a specific situation. Federal and state laws, as well as institute policies, help define what doctors are required to provide for specific types of patients.
To prevail in a malpractice lawsuit it must be proven that the doctor violated his or duty of care and that the breach was the direct cause of injury. This is referred to in legal terms as the causation factor and it is imperative to prove it. For example an injured arm requires an xray, the doctor has to properly place the arm and put it in a cast to ensure proper healing. If the doctor was unable to do so and the patient suffered permanent loss of function of that arm, then malpractice could have occurred.
Causation
Attorney malpractice lawyers claims are based on the evidence that proves that the lawyer's mistakes resulted in financial losses for the client. For instance, if a lawyer fails to file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations, leading to the case being lost for ever the person who was injured could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
However, it's crucial to be aware that not all mistakes made by lawyers constitute illegal. Planning and strategy errors do not usually constitute negligence. Attorneys have a broad range of discretion in making decisions as long as they're able to make them in a reasonable manner.
The law also gives attorneys the right to refuse to conduct discovery on behalf of their clients provided that the error was not unreasonable or a result of negligence. Legal malpractice can be caused through the failure to uncover important documents or facts, such as medical reports or witness statements. Other examples of malpractice are the failure to add certain defendants or claims, for instance forgetting a survival count for an unjustly-dead case or the recurrent failure to communicate with clients.
It is also important to consider the necessity for the plaintiff to show that if it wasn't due to the lawyer's negligent behavior, they would have won their case. Otherwise, the plaintiff's claim for malpractice will be denied. This requirement makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. It is important to employ an experienced attorney.
Damages
In order to prevail in a legal malpractice case, plaintiffs must show financial losses caused by an attorney's actions. This should be proved in a lawsuit through evidence such as expert testimony, correspondence between the client and attorney, billing records and other records. In addition the plaintiff has to prove that a reasonable lawyer would have prevented the damage caused by the attorney's negligence. This is referred to as the proximate cause.
The definition of malpractice can be found in a variety of ways. Some of the more common types of malpractice include failing to adhere to a deadline, which includes the statute of limitations, a failure to conduct a check on conflicts or any other due diligence on a case, improperly applying the law to the client's situation or breaching a fiduciary obligation (i.e. the commingling of funds from a trust account with an attorney's own accounts, mishandling a case and failing to communicate with the client are all examples of malpractice.
In the majority of medical malpractice cases the plaintiff is seeking compensation damages. The compensations pay for out-of pocket expenses and losses, such as medical and hospitals bills, the cost of equipment to aid in recovery, and lost wages. Additionally, victims may seek non-economic damages, like suffering and suffering or loss of enjoyment life and emotional distress.
In many legal malpractice cases, there are claims for punitive and compensatory damages. The first compensates the victim for the losses caused by negligence on the part of the attorney while the latter is intended to discourage any future malpractice on the defendant's part.
