Making Medical Malpractice Legal
Medical malpractice is a complex legal issue. Physicians should take steps to shield themselves from the risk of liability by purchasing medical malpractice insurance.
Patients must prove that a physician's breach of duty has caused them harm. Damages are dependent on economic losses, such as lost income, future medical expenses and non-economic losses such as pain and discomfort.
Duty of care
The first element that a medical malpractice attorney needs to establish in a case is the duty of care. All healthcare professionals owe their patients a duty to act in accordance with the current standards of care in their specific area of expertise. This includes doctors and nurses as also other medical professionals. This includes medical students, interns, and assistants working under the supervision of a physician or doctor.
A medical expert witness is able to determine the standards of care in court. They scrutinize the medical records to determine what a qualified doctor in the same field would have done under similar circumstances.
If the healthcare professional's conduct or the absence thereof fell below this standard, they violated their duty of care and caused injury. The injured patient is then required to prove that the breach of duty committed by the healthcare professional directly contributed to their losses. These could include pain, scarring, and other injuries. They may also include financial losses, such as medical expenses and lost wages.
If a surgeon has left an instrument for surgery in the patient following surgery, it could cause pain or other issues, which could lead to damage. A medical malpractice lawyer can show that the surgical team's lapse of duty caused the damages through testimony from an expert in medical malpractice law Firms practice. This is referred to as direct causation. The patient must also provide evidence of their damages.
Breach of duty
When a medical professional deviates from the accepted standard of care, and this deviation results in injury to the patient the malpractice claim could be filed. The injured party must prove that the physician violated their duty of care by giving substandard treatment. The doctor was negligently and caused the patient to suffer injury.
To prove that a physician did not meet his duty of care, an experienced attorney has to present an expert witness testimony to show that the defendant did not possess or exercise the level of expertise and understanding that doctors in their field have. The plaintiff must also show that there is a direct relationship between the alleged negligence and the resulting injuries. This is called causation.
A plaintiff who has been injured must also prove that he or she would not have opted for an alternative treatment if informed. This is also known as the principle of informed permission. Physicians have a duty to inform patients about possible complications or risks that may arise from an operation prior to the time they perform surgery or put the patient under anesthesia.
In order to bring a medical malpractice case, the injured patient must make a claim within a certain time frame, known as the statute of limitations. Whatever the severity of the mistake made by the medical professional or the extent to which the patient has been injured the court will usually dismiss any claim filed after statutes of limitations have passed. Certain states have laws that require plaintiffs in a medical malpractice lawsuit to engage in binding arbitration on their own or submit their claims to a screening panel in lieu to going to trial.
Causation
Medical malpractice cases require a substantial amount of time and funds, both for the doctors involved in the litigation and their lawyers. The process of proving the treatment of a doctor was not in accordance with the accepted standard calls for a thorough review of medical records, appoints with witnesses, and a thorough analysis of medical literature. The law requires that lawsuits be filed within the deadline that is set by the court. Generally, this deadline--called the statute of limitations -- begins to run after the mistake in health care occurred or when a patient discovers (or should have known according to the law) that they had been harmed by a mistake made by a doctor.
Causation is the fourth and most crucial aspect of a medical malpractice case. It can be the most difficult element to prove. A lawyer must show that a doctor's failure to fulfill the duty of care directly caused harm to the patient and that the losses or injuries could not have occurred except due to the negligence of a physician. This is called actual or proximate causes and the legal requirement to prove this aspect differs from that required in criminal proceedings, where proof must be beyond reasonable doubt.
If a lawyer can prove these three key factors, then the victim of malpractice could be able to receive an amount of money from the defendant. The monetary damages are intended to cover the cost of injuries as well as loss of quality of life and other expenses.
Damages
Medical malpractice cases can be complicated and require expert testimony. The plaintiff's lawyer must prove that a doctor failed to adhere to an established standard of medical treatment, that this failure caused injuries and that the injury resulted from damages. The plaintiff must also demonstrate that the injury is measurable in terms of financial value.
Medical negligence claims can be one of the most complicated and expensive legal cases. To combat the high costs of litigation, many states have introduced tort reform laws that aim to improve efficiency, limit frivolous claims, and compensate the injured fairly. Some of these measures include reducing the amount that plaintiffs can claim for suffering and pain; limiting the number of defendants who could be held accountable for the payment of an award (joint and several liability); having arbitration, mediation or the submission of claims to a panel for screening prior to trial; and setting limits on the amount of damages awarded in medical malpractice lawsuits.
In addition, a lot of malpractice claims involve highly technical issues that are difficult for juries and judges to grasp. This is why experts are so crucial in these cases. For instance in the event that a surgeon makes an error during surgery the patient's lawyer has to hire an orthopedic specialist to explain the reason for the error could not have happened had the surgeon acted according to the relevant medical guidelines of care.
