Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys have a fiduciary obligation with their clients and are required to act with care, diligence and ability. However, just like any other professional, attorneys make mistakes.
Every mistake made by an attorney can be considered malpractice. To prove legal malpractice, an aggrieved party must show the breach of duty, duty, causation and damage. Let's take a look at each of these components.
Duty-Free
Medical professionals and doctors swear by their training and expertise to treat patients and not to cause harm to others. The legal right of a patient to compensation for injuries suffered from medical malpractice hinges on the notion of the duty of care. Your attorney will determine if the actions of your doctor violated the duty of care and if these breaches caused injury or illness.
Your lawyer must establish that the medical professional was bound by the fiduciary obligation to act with reasonable competence and care. This can be proved by eyewitness testimony of witnesses, doctor-patient records, and expert testimony of doctors who have similar education, experience and training.
Your lawyer will also need to establish that the medical professional violated their duty of care by failing to adhere to the accepted standards in their field. This is typically referred to by the term negligence. Your lawyer will assess what the defendant did to what a reasonable individual would do in the same situation.
Your lawyer must also prove that the defendant's breach directly contributed to your loss or injury. This is known as causation, and your lawyer will make use of evidence such as your medical records, witness statements and expert testimony to prove that the defendant's inability to adhere to the standard of care in your case was the direct cause of your loss or injury.
Breach
A doctor is obligated to patients to perform duties of care that adhere to professional medical standards. If a doctor fails meet these standards and fails to do so results in injury, then negligence and medical malpractice attorneys might occur. Expert evidence from medical professionals who have the same training, certifications and skills can help determine the standard of care in a particular situation. State and federal laws, as well as institute policies, help determine what doctors are required to do for certain kinds of patients.
To win a malpractice case the case must be proved that the doctor violated his or her duty of care and that this breach was the direct cause of injury. This is known in legal terms as the causation element and it is essential to establish. For example an injured arm requires an x-ray the doctor must properly fix the arm and place it in a cast for proper healing. If the physician failed to complete the procedure and the patient was left with a permanent loss of the use of the arm, then malpractice may have occurred.
Causation
Attorney malpractice claims are based on the evidence that proves that the lawyer's errors resulted in financial losses for the client. For instance, if a lawyer does not file a lawsuit within the prescribed time of limitations, resulting in the case being lost for ever, the injured party can bring legal malpractice actions.
It is important to realize that not all errors made by lawyers are a sign of malpractice. Mistakes in strategy and planning do not typically constitute malpractice and lawyers have plenty of discretion to make judgement calls so long as they are reasonable.
In addition, the law allows attorneys the right to conduct a discovery process on the behalf of their clients, as long as it was not negligent or unreasonable. Failure to uncover important details or documents like medical reports or witness statements could be a sign of legal malpractice (sobrouremedio.com.br). Other examples of malpractice include a inability to include certain claims or defendants such as failing to include a survival count in a wrongful-death case, or the repeated and prolonged failure to contact the client.
It's also important that it must be established that but the negligence of the lawyer the plaintiff would have won the case. In the event that it is not, the plaintiff's claim for malpractice will be rejected. This makes bringing legal malpractice claims difficult. For this reason, it's important to choose a seasoned attorney to represent you.
Damages
In order to prevail in a legal malpractice lawsuit plaintiffs must show financial losses resulting from the actions of the attorney. This can be proven in a lawsuit through evidence such as expert testimony, correspondence between the client and attorney as well as billing records and other documents. The plaintiff must also show that a reasonable attorney would have prevented the damage caused by the negligence of the lawyer. This is referred to as proximate cause.
Malpractice can occur in many different ways. Some of the more common types of malpractice include the failure to meet a deadline, including the statute of limitations, a failure to perform a conflict check or any other due diligence on a case, improperly applying the law to a client's case or breaching a fiduciary obligation (i.e. the commingling of funds from a trust account with an attorney's own accounts or handling a case in a wrong manner, and failing to communicate with the client are all examples of malpractice.
Medical malpractice suits typically involve claims for compensatory damages. They are awarded to the victim in exchange for the out-of-pocket expenses and losses, including hospital and medical bills, the cost of equipment that aids in recovering, and lost wages. Victims can also claim non-economic damages such as discomfort and pain as well as loss of enjoyment from their lives, and emotional anxiety.
Legal malpractice cases often involve claims for compensatory or punitive damages. The former compensates victims for the loss resulting from the negligence of an attorney, while the latter is intended to deter future malpractice by the defendant.
