Medical Malpractice Law
Even with the best training and an oath to not cause harm, medical errors can happen. When they do, the consequences can be devastating for patients.
Malpractice law is a branch of tort law that deals with professional negligence. A malpractice lawsuit must meet four fundamental requirements:
Malpractice claims in the United States are typically filed in state trial courts. The extensive legal tools, which include depositions under oath, are employed to gather information to support the case.
Duty of care
A doctor owes you the duty of care if there is a patient-doctor relationship. This is regardless of whether the doctor is treating you in a hospital or at your home. However, there are certain situations where doctors could be liable for malpractice lawsuits even without the existence of a patient-doctor relationship.
Anyone who is obligated to perform an obligation of accountability must behave in the same manner as a reasonable person in the circumstances. For instance, a driver has a duty to be careful when driving and to not cause injuries to other drivers on the road. If the driver fails to uphold this duty and results in an accident, they could be held responsible for any injury that results.
Doctors are required to taking care of their patients at all times. This is even when a doctor is not your official physician such as when you ask an expert to provide advice in an elevator or at a restaurant. Good Samaritan laws often limit this obligation to be a good Samaritan.
Medical professionals are also required to take care to inform their patients about the risks that are associated with certain procedures and treatments. Inaction to warn patients is an infringement of a physician's responsibility. Doctors may also violate their obligation if they give you a medication that interacts other medications you're taking.
Breach of duty
In general, doctors are under an obligation to their patients to provide their patients with medical treatment that is in accordance with accepted standards of practice. This standard is established by the laws of the present and standards that are drafted by medical organizations. If a doctor fails to fulfill this obligation they are committing negligence. A malpractice lawyer will review the evidence and determine whether there was a breach of the standard of care.
A doctor may violate their duty of care in a number of ways. It's not just about whether doctors did something that reasonable people would not do in the same circumstance and also what they ought to have done or not done. It is often necessary to have expert witness testimony to determine what the accepted medical standard of practice would be.
A doctor might have violated their duty of care if they prescribe an unintentionally dangerous medication with another drug. This is a common error that can result in grave health consequences.
But, simply proving that there was a breach of duty is not enough to establish malpractice. To be awarded damages, you must prove a direct link between the breach of duty by the doctor and your injury or illness. This is known as causation. It can be a difficult connection to establish in some instances, but a knowledgeable malpractice lawyer will work hard to discover the evidence required to establish the connection.
Causation
A malpractice claim only has validity when the plaintiff can prove that the defendant's wrongful actions caused the damages and losses. To prove medical negligence, it is necessary to use of expert testimony to establish that a patient-provider connection existed and that the provider violated the standard of care that is acceptable. It is essential that the victim's injuries must be directly related to the act or omission which was in violation of the standard of care. This is called causality or proximate causes.
When proving legal malpractice it is essential to prove that the lawyer's lapse has had a significant negative impact on you. You must demonstrate that the expenses of a lawsuit far exceed the losses. The plaintiff also needs to prove that the negligence resulted in actual and measurable damages.
Most malpractice cases go through the discovery process, which includes oral depositions. Your lawyer can represent you at these depositions, and ask questions of the defense experts to challenge their conclusions and prove that the evidence supports your claims. It is crucial to have a skilled medical malpractice lawyer to represent you because the four elements of malpractice, such as breach, duty, causation and harm, is complicated and time-consuming. Your lawyer will guide you through each step of the procedure. The more steps you can complete, the greater your chances of winning.
Damages
The amount of money a patient receives in a medical malpractice case is based on the extent of their injury and the amount of money they will need to pay for medical bills, loss of income, or other financial losses. In certain cases there may be punitive damages awarded to the plaintiff as punishment for the malpractice of the doctor. However, these are rare since doctors must have acted with intent or recklessness to be awarded punitive damages.
The law requires that anyone alleging medical malpractice prove four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was a duty of care on the part of the physician; (2) the doctor breached this duty by deviating from the accepted standards of practice; (3) as a consequence of the doctor's negligence the victim was injured; and (4) the harm is quantifiable in terms of a monetary amount. In addition the injured party must file a lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitations that varies from state to state.
The law recognizes the fact that some medical malpractice claims are complex and costly to resolve, particularly when they are based on complex issues such as proximate cause or foreseeability. The goal of the law is to provide victims with the justice they deserve without allowing frivolous and opportunistic lawsuits to slow down courts. It also aims at reducing costs by requiring that all defendants share the liability for a claim's outcome (joint and several responsibility); limiting the total amount a plaintiff could recover if other defendants lack funds to pay ("damage caps) and also preventing doctors from practicing defensive medicine, which entails changing their treatment plans in response to the danger of malpractice lawsuits.
