How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Many medical malpractice lawsuits require significant time and resources from both doctors and attorneys. This can include attorney time court fees expert witness fees, and other costs.
A medical malpractice lawsuit can be filed when a healthcare professional is negligent, has committed misconduct, made an error, or failed to take action. The injured party may be able to seek compensation damages, including the actual economic losses, such as past and future medical bills, and noneconomic losses such as pain and suffering.
Complaint
A medical malpractice case is complex and requires evidence of credibility to be successful. The patient who has been injured or their lawyer if the patient has died, must show each of these legal elements:
The defendant did not fulfill that duty. The defendant failed to meet this duty. That the breach directly caused injury to the plaintiff. This element of the malpractice claim is referred to as "causation." A breach of the standard of care does not cause injury; however, it must be proven that the breach directly caused the injury and was the proximate cause of the injury.
To safeguard the rights of a patient, and to ensure that a doctor is not committing further wrongdoing, it's necessary to file a claim with the state Medical Malpractice Law Firm board. However, filing a complaint is not a way to start an action and is usually just a step towards moving the malpractice claim. It is usually recommended to consult with a Syracuse lawyer for malpractice before making a report or other document.
Summons
A summons or claim is filed in the court and is sent to the defendant doctor as part of the legal process. A lawyer appointed by the court will examine these documents. If it appears there is a malpractice case, the lawyer will file an affidavit as well as a complaint with the court, detailing the claimed mistake.
The next step in the legal process is to obtain evidence through pretrial discovery. This involves submitting requests to document like hospital billing information and notes from the clinic, and then taking the defendant physician's deposition during which lawyers ask the defendant about his or her knowledge of the case under the oath.
The information provided will be used by the lawyer for the plaintiff to establish the elements of a claim for medical malpractice in the course of trial. This includes the existence of a duty on the doctor's part to provide treatment and treatment to patients; the physician's breach of this duty causality between the breach and the patient's death or injury and a significant amount of damages resulting from the death or injury to be able to justify a monetary compensation.
Discovery
During the discovery process both sides are able to ask for and receive evidence that is relevant to the case. This includes medical records before and after the incident of alleged malpractice, information about experts and tax returns, copies or other documents relating to expenses out of pocket that the plaintiff claims were incurred, and the names and contact information for witnesses who are expected to be present at trial.
Most states have a statute-of-limitations which limits the amount of amount of time a patient can sue after being injured by a medical mistake. The length of time is typically determined by the law of the state and are subject to rules called the "discovery rule."
To win a medical negligence case the patient who was injured must prove that the doctor's negligence caused a specific harm, such as physical pain or loss of income. They must also prove causation, i.e. that negligence caused their injury or death.
Deposition
Depositions are question-and-answer sessions that are conducted in the presence of a court reporter who documents both the questions and answers. The deposition is part of the discovery procedure, which is about gathering information that can be used in the course of a trial.
Attorneys may ask a series of questions to witnesses, which are usually doctors. When a physician is deposed they must answer all questions truthfully under the oath. Usually, the physician is first questioned by an attorney and then cross examined by another attorney. This is an essential stage of the case that requires the full concentration and attention of the physician.
A deposition is a great method for lawyers to obtain an extensive background on the doctor, including the doctor's education, training and experience. This information is essential to convincing the court that the doctor did not adhere to the standard of care you expect and caused injury. For example, physicians who have completed training in the area of malpractice cases generally be able to prove that they have a lot of experience in performing specific procedures and techniques that may be relevant to a particular medical malpractice claim.
Trial
Your lawyer will submit a complaint to the court and a summons. This initiates a legal process of disclosure known as discovery which is where you and your doctor's team work together to gather evidence to support your case. This typically consists of medical records as well as testimony from experts.
The purpose of proving malpractice is to establish that your physician's actions were not in line with the standard of care. Your lawyer must convince a jury that it is more likely than not your injuries would not have occurred if your physician acted according to the standard of care. Your doctor's lawyer will offer defenses which contradict the evidence presented by your lawyer.
Despite the belief that doctors are targets for false claims of malpractice, decades of empirical evidence demonstrate that juries make reasonable estimates of negligence and damages and that juries are skeptical of award amounts that are exaggerated. The majority of malpractice cases settle prior to trial.
