Medical Malpractice Law
Even with the most thorough training and a pledge to not cause harm, medical errors could happen. If medical errors occur the consequences for patients could be devastating.
Malpractice law is a branch of tort law that addresses professional negligence. A malpractice lawsuit must meet the following four requirements:
Malpractice claims in the United States are typically filed in state trial courts. Extensive legal tools, including depositions under oath, are utilized in order to gather evidence for the case.
Duty of care
If you are in an arrangement with a doctor, a doctor has a duty of taking care of you. This is no matter if the doctor treats you at the hospital or at your home. However, there are some circumstances where doctors can be liable for malpractice even without the existence of a doctor-patient relationship.
Anyone who is under a duty to care must act in a manner that reasonable people would do under the circumstances. For example, a driver, has a duty of care to drive safely and not to cause injury to other road users. If the driver is not able to meet this duty and causes injury, he/she can be held responsible for any injuries that result.
Doctors have a duty of taking care of their patients at all times. This includes the time when a doctor is not officially your doctor, such as when you ask a doctor for advice in an elevator or outside of a restaurant. However, the obligation to be a good Samaritan is usually limited by Good Samaritan laws.
Medical professionals are required to inform patients of the risks associated with certain procedures and treatments. In the absence of this, it is an infraction of the doctor's duty. A doctor may also breach their duty of care if they prescribe you a medication that interacts with other medications you are taking.
Breach of duty
Generally speaking, doctors owe patients the obligation of providing medical care that is consistent with the standards of practice accepted by doctors. This standard is set by the laws of the present and standards drafted by medical associations. If a doctor fails to fulfill this duty, they are acting negligently. A malpractice attorney will look over the evidence and determine if there was a breach of the standard of care.
A doctor could violate their duty of care in numerous ways. It's not about just whether doctors did something that normal people would not do in the same circumstances and also what they ought to have done or didn't do. It is often necessary to have expert witness testimony to determine what the accepted medical standard of care would have been.
A doctor might have violated their obligation if they prescribe a medication that interacts dangerously with another drug. This is a frequent error that could have grave consequences for your health.
However, just proving that there was a breach of duty is not enough to prove malpractice. You must establish that there is a direct link between the doctor's negligence and your injury or illness in order to claim damages. This is referred to as causation. It is a complex connection to make in certain cases, but a skilled malpractice lawyer will work hard to uncover the evidence to prove the link.
Causation
A malpractice claim only has legal validity if the plaintiff is able to demonstrate that the defendant's negligence caused the damages and losses. Proving medical negligence requires use of expert testimony to prove that a relationship between the patient and the provider existed and that the service provider violated the standard of care that is acceptable. It is important that the person's injury be directly related to the action or omission that was in violation of the standard of care. This is called causality or the proximate cause.
When proving legal malpractice it is essential to prove that the negligence of the attorney caused significant negative consequences for you. It is essential to prove that the costs of a lawsuit far exceed the losses. The plaintiff has to also prove that the negligence led to tangible and quantifiable damages.
Most malpractice cases go through the discovery process, which includes oral depositions. Your lawyer will represent your interests during these depositions. They will ask questions to experts for defense to challenge their findings, and to show that the evidence supports the allegations. It is essential to have a seasoned medical malpractice attorney on your side as the four elements of malpractice, including breach, duty causation, harm and breach is complicated and time-consuming. Your lawyer will guide you through every step of the process. The more steps you complete, the better chances you are of winning your claim.
Damages
The amount of money a person receives in a medical malpractice case depends on their injury and the amount of money they require to cover medical bills as well as loss of income or other financial losses. In certain cases there may be punitive damages given to the plaintiff in retaliation for the malpractice of the doctor. These are very rare, as doctors must have acted recklessly or malpractice with the intention of receiving punitive damages.
The law requires that a person alleging medical malpractice prove four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was a duty of care on the part of the doctor; (2) the doctor breached this duty by deviating from the established standards of practice; (3) as a consequence of the doctor's negligence the victim was injured; and (4) the damage can be quantified in terms of an amount in dollars. In addition the victim must make a claim within the applicable statute of limitations that varies from state to state.
The law recognizes the fact that some medical malpractice claims can be costly and complicated to resolve, especially when they are based on complicated questions like proximate reasons or the possibility of foreseeability. Its goal to give victims the redress that they deserve, without allowing the filing of frivolous and unjustified lawsuits to slow down the process. It also aims at reducing costs by insisting that all defendants share the liability for a claim's outcome (joint and multiple responsibility) as well as limiting the maximum amount that a plaintiff can be awarded if other defendants aren't able to provide funds to pay ("damage caps) and prohibiting doctors from practicing defensive medicine, that is, changing their treatment plans in response to the danger of malpractice lawsuits.
