Many medical malpractice cases require a lot of time and resources from both doctors and attorneys. This includes doctor hours and work product, attorney time court costs and expert witness fees and countless other expenses.
A medical malpractice claim can be filed in the event that a healthcare professional has been negligent, has committed misconduct or committed a mistake or acted in a way that was not. The injured party may be able to seek compensation damages, including the actual economic loss, such as the future and past medical bills, as well as non-economic expenses like pain and suffering.
Complaint
A medical malpractice claim is a complex matter and requires proof of credibility for success. The injured party (or their attorney if they have died) must be able to prove each of the following legal elements of the claim:
The defendant breached the duty. The defendant breached this duty. The breach directly caused injury for the plaintiff. This element is known as "cause". A breach of a duty of care will not in itself cause injury. It must be proven that it directly caused the injury and was the proximate reason for the injury.
To protect a patient's rights, and to ensure that a physician doesn't commit any further malpractice, it is necessary to file a complaint with the state medical board. A report is not a lawsuit, but it could be the first step to starting the malpractice claim.
