Medical Malpractice Litigation
Medical malpractice litigation is a complex and time-consuming. Both defendants and plaintiffs are also required to pay a substantial cost.
In order to win monetary compensation in a malpractice lawsuit, an injured patient must prove that inadequate medical treatment led to injury. This requires establishing four components of law which are professional obligations and breach of this duty, injury and resulting damages.
Discovery
The most crucial aspect of a medical negligence lawsuit is the gathering of evidence. This can be accomplished by means of written interrogatories or requests for documents. Interrogatories are questions that must be answered under an oath by the opposition to the lawsuit. They are used to establish the facts needed to be presented in court. Requests for documents to be produced permit tangible evidence to be obtained, such as medical records or test results.
In many cases, your attorney will take the defendant physician's deposition, which is an audio recording of a question and answer session. This permits your attorney to ask the doctor or witnesses questions that would not be permitted at trial. This is extremely effective in cases with expert witnesses.
The information gathered in pretrial discovery will be used to prove your claim at trial.
Infraction to the standard of care
Injuries caused by a breach of the standard of care
Proximate causation
A doctor's inability to use the level of competence and expertise of doctors in their field of specialization and that resulted in injury to a patient
Mediation
While medical malpractice trials are often required, they do have some significant disadvantages for both sides. For plaintiffs who are facing a lawsuit, the stress, expense and the time commitment associated with a trial can have a negative psychological impact on them. For defendant health care professionals trials can result in humiliation and a loss of respect. It can also have detrimental effects on their career as well as practice since the financial payments they receive as part of a settlement before trial are reported to national databases for practitioners as well as the state medical licensing board, and medical societies.
Mediation is the most cost-effective, efficient, and efficient method of settling a medical malpractice claim. By avoiding the cost of trial and avoiding loss of jury verdicts, mediation allows both parties to be more flexible in settlement negotiations.
Both parties must give a brief summary of the situation to the mediator prior to mediation (a "mediation short"). The parties usually permit their communication to be done through their lawyer instead of directly between themselves at this stage because direct communications could be used against them later on in court. As the mediation progresses, it is best to concentrate on the strengths of your case and be ready to recognize its weaknesses as well. This will allow the mediator to fill in any gaps and make you an appropriate offer.
