How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
A patient who finds that an object foreign to her like surgical clamps, remains in her body following gall bladder surgery can file a medical malpractice lawsuit. A successful lawsuit must prove the legal aspects of medical negligence: duty, deviance from this duty, direct causes, and injury.
It is essential for our clients to establish a direct causal connection between the breach of duty and the damage, known as proximate causation.
The reason for injury
A medical malpractice claim can be filed by the injured person or a person legally designated to act on their behalf. This could be the spouse or adult child or parent, guardian or administrator of an estate belonging to a deceased patient depending on the circumstances. The defendant in a suit for medical negligence is the health professional. It could be a licensed doctor, nurse or therapist.
Malpractice cases typically involve a lot of expert testimony. Medical experts are required to testify whether or whether the healthcare provider adhered to the standards of treatment in their specific field. They also have to testify to the damage caused by the actions or inactions of the doctor.
Accidents caused by negligence or negligence can be very serious. A misdiagnosis can have serious consequences, such as a life-threatening condition. Other types of injuries be caused by operating on an incorrect body part or putting surgical instruments in the patient.
In order to establish a malpractice claim the patient must prove four legal elements: a duty the physician owed to them; a breach of the breach; a resulting injury; and damages. In some states, like New York, the law places a limit on the amount of money that can be awarded for the malpractice claim.
Causation
The element of injury is known as the causation. It is one of most important elements in a medical negligence claim. To prove causation, the plaintiff must prove that their injury was caused by the physician's negligence. This can be a challenging task due to several reasons.
Many injuries that are the basis of a medical negligence lawsuit result from long-term conditions or ongoing conditions which were present before treatment began. Often, the statute of limitations for a medical malpractice claim is extended over a period of years, and injuries may develop slowly.
In these situations, it is difficult to prove that a specific medical professional's violation of the standards of care caused the injury. However, the patient who was hurt could be able to use evidence gathered by the attorney, like medical documents and expert testimony.
During the process of discovery which is an element of the legal process preparation for a trial, your lawyer can request the defendants' lawyers disclose expert testimony and other documents. The doctor who is representing the case will be required to give deposition. This is a declaration that's given under oath. Your lawyer is able to cross-examine doctor and contest the doctor's findings. The jury will then decide whether the plaintiff has proved the essential elements of their claim, which includes duty, breach, causation and injury.
Negligence
If a medical malpractice lawsuit is filed the plaintiff has to convince the jury that it was more likely than not that the doctor committed a breach of professional duties and that the violations caused injuries. The plaintiff's lawyer must demonstrate this through evidence gathered during discovery. This involves soliciting documents, including medical records, from all parties involved in a lawsuit. This process also involves sworn declarations that are recorded and used in trial.
A doctor has violated their professional obligation if they did something a reasonable prudent physician would not have done in similar circumstances. It must be proven that the breach resulted in injury directly to the patient. This is referred to as causation, or proxy causes. For instance when a patient is taken to the hospital for a procedure to treat a hernia and is then able to have his or her gall bladder removed instead. This is medical malpractice since the removal of the gall bladder did not benefit the patient.
Medical malpractice lawsuits must be brought within a legally defined period of time, referred to as the statute of limitations which varies according to the state. The person who has suffered injury must prove that the substandard care caused injury, and then prove how much monetary compensation he or her deserves.
Damages
You deserve to be compensated for any injuries you've suffered as a result of medical negligence. At Scaffidi & Associates, we will assist you in receiving full and fair compensation for your losses.
The first step in a lawsuit is to make a complaint and serve it as well as summons and other documents on all defendants. The parties then engage in discovery. This is a process where documents and statements are disclosed under the oath. During discovery medical records and notes from a doctor are usually requested.
In the majority of states, you have to prove four things in order to be compensated for injuries incurred by medical malpractice: a duty owed by the healthcare provider and a breach of that obligation; a causal connection between the breach and the injury suffered by the patient; and damages that flow from the injury. If your lawyer can prove all of these elements, you will have a strong case for financial recovery in a medical negligence claim.
In certain instances the court can award punitive damages, which are designed to punish the offender and deter others from committing the same offense. However, this isn't the norm in medical malpractice cases, as the courts require extremely precise proof of malice before they can make these extraordinary awards.
