How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
A patient who finds that an object foreign to her like surgical clamps, is still inside her body after gall bladder surgery can file a medical malpractice lawsuit. A successful claim has to prove the elements of medical malpractice: duty, deviation from the norm and direct reason.
Our clients must establish a direct connection between the breach of duty, and the injury. This is referred to as proximate cause.
The reason for injury
A medical malpractice claim can be initiated by the patient who was injured or a person who is legally authorized to act on their behalf. This could be the spouse or adult child guardian, parent or administrator of the estate of a deceased person, depending on the circumstances. In a case involving medical malpractice, the defendant is the health care provider. It could be a licensed nurse, doctor or therapist.
Expert testimony is often required in cases of malpractice. Medical experts are required to testify on whether or the medical professional followed the standard of care for their particular area of expertise. They must also testify to the harm resulting from the actions or inactions of the doctor.
Injury caused by negligence and mistakes can be catastrophic. For example, a mistake in the diagnosis of a medical condition could cause life-threatening complications. Other types of injuries can include operating on the wrong body part or leaving surgical instruments inside the patient.
The patient must prove four legal elements of a malpractice lawsuit: a duty owed to the patient by the doctor or a breach of the duty; injury caused by the breach and the consequential damages. In some states, such as New York, the law sets a limit on the amount of money that can be awarded in an injury resulting from a malpractice claim.
Causation
The injury element, also known as causation is one of the most important aspects of medical malpractice cases. To prove causation, the plaintiff must prove that the injury was caused by the physician's negligence. This can be a difficult task due to a variety of reasons.
For instance, many of the injuries that are the cause of a medical negligence lawsuit are the result of long-term or ongoing illnesses that were present before treatment began. Often, the statute of limitations for a medical malpractice claim extends out over a number of years, and the injuries can develop gradually.
In these instances, it is difficult to prove that a particular medical professional's breach of standard of care led to the injury. However, the aggrieved patient could be able to use evidence collected by the attorney, including medical records and expert testimony.
During the discovery process, which is a component of the legal procedure prepping for trial, your lawyer may ask for the disclosure of expert testimony as well as other documents from defense attorneys of the defendants. The doctor defending the lawsuit is then asked to testify during a deposition, which is testimony given under oath. Your lawyer can cross-examine the doctor and contest the doctor's findings. The jury will decide whether the plaintiff has substantiated the facts of the case including breach of duty, breach of contract and causation.
Negligence
The plaintiff must convince the jury, when bringing a lawsuit for medical malpractice that it is more than likely that the doctor violated the obligations of physician and that the mistakes led to injuries. The attorney representing the plaintiff must demonstrate this using evidence obtained during discovery. This involves soliciting documents, including medical records from all parties involved in the lawsuit. This process also includes sworn declarations that are recorded and used in trial.
A doctor Medical malpractice lawsuits was in breach of the professional duties of a doctor when he/she did something that a reasonably prudent doctor would not do in similar circumstances. It must be established that the breach was the cause of the injury directly to the patient. This is referred to as causation, or causal proximate causes. A patient could go to the hospital in order to repair a hernia but end up having their gall bladder removed. This is medical negligence because the procedure was not beneficial to the patient.
Medical malpractice lawsuits must be filed within a legally defined period of time, also known as the statute of limitations, which varies by state. The victim must show that the inadequate treatment caused injury, and then they must establish what compensation they deserve.
