Medical Malpractice Law
Even with the most thorough training and a pledge to not cause harm, medical errors could occur. When medical mistakes occur, the consequences for patients can be devastating.
Malpractice law is a branch of tort law which deals with professional negligence. A malpractice lawsuit must satisfy the following four requirements:
Malpractice claims in the United States are typically filed in state trial courts. Numerous legal tools, like depositions under oath are used to gather information to support the case.
Duty of care
If you are in the relationship of a doctor-patient, a doctor is required to provide taking care of you. This is true whether the doctor is treating you in a hospital or your home. However, there are certain circumstances when doctors may be liable for malpractice even without the existence of a doctor-patient relationship.
A person who has an obligation of care must behave in the same manner as a reasonable individual under the circumstances. For example, a driver is obliged to drive with care and not cause injuries to other drivers on the road. If the driver fails to adhere to this duty and malpractice causes an accident, they could be held accountable for any injuries resulting from the accident.
Doctors are accountable for the care of their patients at all times. This includes instances when doctors are not your physician, such as when you ask a doctor for advice in an elevator or outside of a restaurant. However, this obligation to be a good neighbor is often restricted by Good Samaritan laws.
Medical professionals are also required to take care to warn their patients about the risks of certain procedures and treatments. Inaction to warn patients is an infraction of the medical professional's duty. A doctor could also violate their duty of care if they prescribe you medication that is known to interact with other medications that you are taking.
Breach of duty
In general, doctors have the obligation to their patients to provide treatment that conforms to accepted standards of practice. This standard is determined by the laws of today and also by standards set by medical associations. Any doctor who fails to adhere to this obligation is considered to be negligent. A malpractice attorney will examine the evidence and determine if there was a breach of the standard of care.
A doctor may violate their duty of care in a variety of ways. It's not about just whether doctors did something that reasonable people would not do in the same circumstances as well as things they should have done or didn't do. Expert witness testimony is usually required to determine the accepted standards of medical practice.
A doctor might have violated their obligation if they prescribe the medication that is dangerously incompatible with another drug. This is a common error that can result in serious consequences for your health.
However, just proving that there was a breach of duty is not enough to prove malpractice. You must prove that there was a direct link between negligence of the doctor and your injuries or illness in order to receive damages. This is called causation. It is a complex connection to make in some cases, but a seasoned malpractice lawyer will work hard to find the evidence to prove this connection.
Causation
A malpractice lawyer case is only valid legal validity if the plaintiff is able to prove that the defendant's negligence resulted in the loss and injuries. To prove medical negligence, it is necessary to use of expert testimony to prove that a patient-provider connection existed and that the provider violated the acceptable standard of medical care. It is essential that the victim's injuries must be directly related to the act or omission which was in violation of the standard of care. This is called causality or proximate causes.
When proving legal malpractice is crucial to demonstrate that the lawyer's negligence caused significant negative consequences for you. A lawsuit can be costly and you must be able to show that your losses are more than the cost of the lawsuit. The plaintiff must also demonstrate that the negligence resulted in actual and measurable damages.
Most malpractice cases go through an investigation process that involves oral depositions. Your lawyer will represent you at these depositions, asking questions of the experts in defense to challenge their conclusions and prove that the evidence supports your assertions. It is imperative to have an experienced medical malpractice attorney to represent you because establishing the four elements of malpractice, which include breach, duty of duty, causation and harm is time-consuming and complex. Your lawyer will guide you through each step. The more steps you take the higher chance you have of winning your claim.
Damages
The amount of money a person receives in a medical malpractice case is determined by the severity of their injuries and the amount they need to cover medical expenses as well as loss of income or other financial losses. In some instances the court may award punitive damages given to the plaintiff as a punishment for the malpractice of the doctor. But, they are very rare since doctors must have been reckless or intently to be awarded punitive damages.
The law requires that anyone alleging medical malpractice prove four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was a duty of care on the part of the doctor; (2) the doctor breached the duty of care by straying from the established standards of practice; (3) as a consequence of the doctor's negligence, the victim suffered injury; and (4) the injury can be quantified in terms of an amount in money. In addition, the injured party must bring a lawsuit within the time limit, which varies by state.
The law recognizes that some medical malpractice claims can be complex and expensive to resolve, particularly if they involve complicated issues like proximate causes or predictability. Its aim is to ensure that victims receive the justice they deserve without allowing frivolous or opportunistic lawsuits to block courts. It also seeks to reduce costs by requiring that all defendants bear responsibility for a claim's success (joint and multiple liability) while limiting the amount a plaintiff is able to be awarded if other defendants aren't able to provide funds to pay ("damage caps) and also preventing doctors from practicing defensive medicine, which entails altering their treatment plans due to the threat of malpractice lawsuits.
