How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
A patient who believes that he or she suffered a loss because of an error made by a medical professional could file a medical negligence lawsuit. These cases differ from personal injury claims because they use a professional standard to determine the degree of negligence.
In the United States, malpractice claims are settled through state trial courts. Each state has its own laws and procedures.
Duty of care
A doctor, surgeon, nurse or other health care professional owes a duty of care to their patients. The law states that any health care professional who treats you has the obligation to adhere to the accepted medical practices, without omission or deviation.
The medical standard of care is a legal yardstick by which any medical malpractice claim is measured. It is crucial for a successful lawsuit, as it provides a way for the victim and his or attorney to show negligence by proving the health professional did not adhere to the standard of treatment.
A qualified medical expert is often needed to prove this standard of care. These experts are crucial in setting the standards of care applicable to the particular case, and the manner in which defendants did not meet this standard.
It is also necessary to show that this breach of duty directly caused your injury, illness, or death. In medical malpractice lawsuits, damages can include hospital expenses loss of income as well as future earning capacity pain, suffering, and even punitive damages. Your lawyer must prove the amount of damages that you are entitled to, which may be greater than the original medical expenses. In some instances it is simpler than in others. Many doctors work at hospitals that provide them with staff privileges. In these instances, a doctor's employer may be held responsible through theories of vicarious liability.
Breach of duty
A doctor is bound towards the patient to comply with medical standards of care when providing treatment or other services. A patient who is injured due to negligence of a doctor may file a malpractice suit.
Medical negligence can encompass various actions, including mistakes in diagnosis, dosage of medication and health management, treatment and post-care. In order for a lawsuit to be valid the plaintiff must demonstrate four legal elements. These include:
First, there has to be a trusting relationship between the doctor and the patient. The physician is obliged to inform patients of any risks or complications that may be involved with the procedure. Failure to inform the patient of any risks or complications could render the doctor liable for malpractice, even if the procedure was carried out perfectly. If the doctor didn't warn the patient that a specific procedure had the chance of causing limb loss, then the patient could not have agreed to it.
The second element to be proven is a breach of the standard of care. To prove this, the lawyer has to have testimony from an expert witness to prove that the physician did not follow the standard of care. In addition, it must be established that the breach caused the patient's injury.
It can take a long time to resolve medical negligence claims in the court system, which includes a great deal of physician and attorney time, extensive review of the records, interviewing experts, and analyzing the medical and legal literature. A physician who is the subject of a malpractice lawsuit will need to pay high court costs as well as attorney fees and work products, as well as expenses for expert testimony.
Causation
All healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals are human beings and can make mistakes. When these errors reach the level of malpractice, patients could suffer life-threatening and fatal injuries. It requires both medical and legal expertise to prove that a healthcare provider has acted negligently in duty and caused harm. A successful case must demonstrate four legal elements: a doctor-patient relationship; the medical professional's duty to the patient; the doctor's breach of that duty; and injury resulting from that breach.
It must also be proved that the doctor's departure from the standard of care was a direct and most likely cause of the injury. The legal standard for this part is higher than "beyond a reasonable doubt" required in criminal cases. The lawyer representing the plaintiff has to convince the jury or fact finder that it is more likely than not that the doctor's actions were negligent, and that negligence was the primary factor in the injury.
Expert medical testimony is usually required early in the process to establish the validity of all these elements. According to Rhode Island law, only doctors with the right qualifications, training and expertise in the field of alleged malpractice can give expert testimony in the matter. This is why selecting a qualified medical expert is an essential aspect of the malpractice case.
Damages
Medical malpractice lawsuits are designed to collect damages that include the future and past expenses due to an injury. The costs could include hospital bills, doctor's appointments, pain and discomfort, and lost wages. The jury will decide on the amount of damages to be awarded based on evidence presented.
The plaintiff or their lawyer must prove four legal aspects during the trial: (1) the physician was bound by a duty to them; (2) the doctor did not fulfill this duty due to negligence; (3) the doctor’s negligence caused injury; (4) the injury resulted in measurable damages. A doctor's work is not a violation if you are unhappy with it. But there must be a repercussion. A qualified expert witness will be able to determine whether a physician did not follow the standard of care.
The legal process of a malpractice claim may last for years, and involve a significant amount of time spent in "discovery," which involves the exchange of documents and statements given under oath to the parties involved in the case. Many cases are settled before reaching the courtroom. However, a small percentage of these cases go to the jury trial stage.
To reduce the risk of liability for malpractice, some states have taken various administrative and legislative measures collectively referred to as tort reform. Some states have also implemented alternative dispute resolution methods including binding arbitration. The objective of these alternatives to civil litigation is to reduce costs for litigation and speed up the handling of malpractice claims while reducing juries with excessively generous stipulations and weeding out unnecessary medical claims.
