Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys have a fiduciary obligation with their clients and are required to behave with care, diligence and expertise. Attorneys make mistakes just like any other professional.
Some mistakes made by lawyers are legal malpractice. To prove legal malpractice, an aggrieved person must demonstrate that there was breach of duty, causation, breach and damage. Let's look at each of these elements.
Duty-Free
Medical professionals and doctors take the oath of using their skills and experience to treat patients, and not to cause further harm. The legal right of a patient to receive compensation for injuries resulting from medical malpractice rests on the concept of the duty of care. Your lawyer can help determine whether or not your doctor's actions breached this duty of care, and if these breaches caused injuries or illness to you.
To establish a duty of care, your lawyer needs to prove that a medical professional has an agreement with you that owed you a fiduciary responsibility to exercise reasonable competence and care. This can be proved through eyewitness testimony, doctor-patient reports and expert testimony from doctors who have similar education, experience, and training.
Your lawyer will also have to prove that the medical professional violated their duty of care by not adhering to the accepted standards of practice in their area of expertise. This is often referred to as negligence. Your lawyer will evaluate the defendant's conduct to what a reasonable individual would take in the same scenario.
Finally, your lawyer must prove that the defendant's breach of duty directly led to injury or loss to you. This is referred to as causation, and your lawyer will make use of evidence such as your doctor-patient records, witness statements and expert testimony to prove that the defendant's inability to meet the standard of care in your case was a direct cause of your injury or loss.
Breach
A doctor is required to perform a duty of care to his patients that reflects professional medical standards. If a doctor fails meet those standards and fails to do so causes injury, then medical malpractice or negligence could occur. Typically experts' testimony from medical professionals with similar training, skills, certifications and experience will help determine what the appropriate standard of care is in a particular circumstance. State and federal laws and institute policies also determine what doctors are required to perform for specific types of patients.
To prevail in a malpractice lawsuit it is necessary to prove that the doctor breached his or her duty of care and that the breach was the direct cause of injury. This is referred to in legal terms as the causation component and it is imperative that it is established. For example an injured arm requires an xray, the doctor must fix the arm and place it in a cast for proper healing. If the doctor failed to perform this task and the patient was left with an irreparable loss of use of the arm, then malpractice could have occurred.
Causation
Attorney malpractice claims rely on the evidence that proves that the lawyer's mistakes caused financial losses to the client. For instance, if a lawyer does not file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations, which results in the case being lost for ever and the victim could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
However, it's crucial to be aware that not all mistakes made by lawyers are a sign of mistakes that constitute malpractice. Strategies and mistakes aren't usually considered to be a violation of the law and lawyers have lots of freedom to make judgement calls so long as they're reasonable.
Likewise, the law gives attorneys considerable leeway to fail to conduct discovery on behalf of the behalf of their clients, as long as the action was not negligent or unreasonable. Legal malpractice is committed when a lawyer fails to find important documents or evidence, such as medical reports or witness statements. Other instances of malpractice could be a inability to include certain defendants or claims such as omitting to make a survival claim in a wrongful death lawsuit or the consistent and prolonged failure to communicate with a client.
It's also important to note that it must be proven that, if not for the lawyer's negligence, the plaintiff would have won the underlying case. The claim of the plaintiff for malpractice is deemed invalid if it is not proven. This makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. For this reason, it's essential to choose an experienced attorney to represent you.
Damages
In order to prevail in a legal malpractice lawsuit, plaintiffs must show financial losses caused by the actions of the attorney. This can be proven in a lawsuit using evidence such as expert testimony, correspondence between client and attorney as well as billing records and other evidence. In addition the plaintiff must show that a reasonable lawyer would have prevented the harm caused by the negligence of the attorney. This is known as proximate cause.
It can happen in many different ways. Some of the more common types of malpractice include failing to meet a deadline, for example, a statute of limitations, failing to conduct a check on conflicts or other due diligence of the case, not applying law to a client's situation, breaching a fiduciary duty (i.e. the commingling of trust account funds with personal attorney accounts) or a mishandling of the case, and failing to communicate with the client.
Medical malpractice lawsuits typically involve claims for compensatory damages. The compensations pay for out-of-pocket expenses as well as losses such as hospital and medical bills, costs of equipment to help recover and lost wages. Victims can also seek non-economic damages like pain and discomfort as well as loss of enjoyment from their lives, and emotional distress.
In many legal malpractice cases, there are lawsuits for punitive as well as compensatory damages. The former compensates the victim for losses caused by the negligence of the attorney, while the latter is intended to deter future malpractice by the defendant.
