How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
A patient who believes that he or she suffered a loss due to an error by a doctor can file a medical malpractice lawsuit. These cases differ from personal injury lawsuits due to the fact that they employ a professional standard to determine negligence.
In the United States, malpractice claims are handled by state trial courts. Each state has its own set of rules and procedures.
Duty of care
A doctor, surgeon or any other health professional owes a duty of care to their patients. This legal doctrine states that any health professional who treats you must follow the accepted medical procedures.
This medical standard of care is a legal metric using which any malpractice claim will be judged. It is essential to a successful case, since it lays out a specific method to allow the injured person and their attorney to prove negligence by showing that a medical professional failed to meet the standard of care.
A medical expert with a degree is often needed to prove the standard of care. Experts like these are crucial to establishing the relevant medical standard of care and how that standard was breached by the defendants in a medical negligence case.
It is also necessary to establish that the breach of duty directly caused your injury, illness or death. In medical malpractice cases, damages can include hospital bills and lost income and future earning capacity, suffering, pain and even punitive damages. Your lawyer must establish the value of these damages, which could be more than your original medical expenses. This is less difficult in some situations than in other. There are many doctors who work in hospitals that offer them staff privileges, and in those situations, a physician's employer may be held responsible under theories of vicarious responsibility.
Breach of duty
A doctor has a responsibility for the patient to observe medical standards of care when providing medical treatment or services. If a physician fails to fulfill that duty and the injury results the patient is injured, the patient may seek compensation for malpractice.
Medical negligence can refer to many different actions, for example, mistakes in diagnosis, medication dosage and health management, treatment and post-care. To make a claim valid the plaintiff has to prove four legal elements. These are:
In the first place, there needs to be a relationship between the doctor and patient. The doctor is required to inform patients about any risks and complications that may be involved with the procedure. Even if the procedure was done correctly, the doctor could be held liable for malpractice when they fail to notify the patient. For example, if the physician did not inform the patient that a particular procedure had the possibility of losing 30% legs, the patient might not have reasonably consented to the surgery.
The second element to be proved is a breach in the standard of care. To prove that the doctor deviated from the standard of care, the lawyer will need expert witness testimony. In addition, it must be proven that this negligence caused the patient's injury.
The court system can be slow to resolve medical negligence cases. This is due to the fact that it requires many hours of time from the doctor and attorney, in addition to extensive research and interviews with experts and a thorough study of Medical Malpractice Law firm and legal literature. A doctor who is facing an action for malpractice will have to pay high court costs along with attorney fees and work products, in addition to expenses for expert testimony.
Causation
All healthcare professionals including nurses, doctors and other healthcare providers are humans and will make mistakes. If these mistakes get to the point of being considered malpractice, patients can suffer serious and life-changing injuries. It takes both medical and legal expertise to prove that a healthcare provider has breached their in duty that caused injury. A successful claim must prove four legal elements: a physician-patient relationship; the doctor's professional duty to the patient; the breach by the doctor of this obligation; and any injury that results from that breach.
The injury must be proven to have been resulted from the doctor's deviation from the standard of medical care. The legal standard for this factor is higher than the "beyond a reasonable doubt" required in criminal cases. The lawyer representing the plaintiff has to convince the jury/fact finder it is more likely than not that the doctor's actions were negligent, and that negligence was the primary reason for the injury.
A medical expert is usually required early in the process to establish all of these elements. According to Rhode Island law, only doctors who have sufficient education, training, experience and expertise in the field of the claimed malpractice can provide an evidence of an expert in the case. This is why choosing an expert in medical expertise is such an important aspect of the malpractice case.
Damages
A medical malpractice suit aims to recover damages, which comprise the future and past costs associated with an injury. These costs could include hospital bills, doctor visits, the cost of suffering and wages. The amount of damages paid is determined by the jury according to the evidence that is presented.
The plaintiff or their lawyer must prove four legal elements at trial: (1) the physician owed a duty to them; (2) the doctor did not fulfill this duty due to negligence; (3) the doctor’s negligence caused injuries; (4) the injury resulted in measurable damages. A doctor's performance is not malpractice if you are dissatisfied with it. But, there need to be a repercussion. An expert witness will help to determine whether a physician did not follow the standard of care.
The legal process for a malpractice claim could last for several years. This is because "discovery" involves the exchange of documents and sworn statements of the parties involved. While many cases end up being settled before reaching the courtroom, a small percentage of these claims go all through to the jury trial and verdict.
In order to cut down on the cost of litigation, a few states have enacted a variety of legislative and administrative actions, collectively referred to as tort reform measures, to reduce liability for negligence. In addition, some states have implemented alternative dispute resolution schemes like voluntary binding arbitration. The goal of these alternatives to civil litigation is to reduce costs for litigation and speed up the process of settling malpractice claims while eliminating overly generous juries and removing frivolous medical claims.
