Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys have a fiduciary connection with their clients and are required to act with diligence, care and competence. However, like all professionals, attorneys make mistakes.
Some mistakes made by attorneys are a result of malpractice. To demonstrate legal malpractice, an aggrieved party has to prove obligation, breach, causation and damage. Let's look at each of these components.
Duty
Doctors and medical professionals take the oath of using their expertise and knowledge to treat patients and not causing further harm. A patient's legal right to compensation for injuries suffered due to medical malpractice is based on the notion of the duty of care. Your attorney can determine if the actions of your doctor violated the duty to care and whether these violations caused you injury or illness.
Your lawyer must prove that the medical professional you hired owed the fiduciary obligation to act with reasonable skill and care. This relationship can be established by eyewitness testimony, doctor-patient records and expert testimony of doctors with similar educational, experience and training.
Your lawyer will also need to establish that the medical professional violated their duty of caring by failing to adhere to the accepted standards in their area of expertise. This is often referred to by the term negligence. Your lawyer will assess the actions of the defendant to what a reasonable individual would do in the same situation.
Finally, your lawyer must prove that the defendant's lapse of duty directly led to your loss or injury. This is known as causation. Your lawyer will use evidence including your doctor's or patient records, witness testimony and expert testimony, to prove that the defendant's failure to comply with the standard of care was the primary cause of your injury or loss to you.
Breach
A doctor is required to perform a duty of care to his patients which corresponds to professional medical standards. If a physician fails to meet those standards and this results in injury, then medical malpractice and negligence may occur. Typically experts' testimony from medical professionals who have the same training, qualifications or certifications will help determine what the appropriate standard of medical care should be in a particular situation. Federal and state laws, as well as guidelines from the institute, help determine what doctors are required to do for certain types of patients.
To win a malpractice case, it must be shown that the doctor breached his or his duty of care and that this breach was a direct cause of an injury. In legal terms, this is known as the causation component, and it is essential that it is established. If a physician has to obtain an xray of an injured arm, they must place the arm in a cast and properly set it. If the doctor fails to do this and the patient suffers a permanent loss of the use of the arm, then malpractice may have occurred.
Causation
Legal malpractice claims founded on the evidence that the attorney committed mistakes that led to financial losses to the client. For instance when a lawyer fails to file a lawsuit within the prescribed time of limitations, which results in the case being lost forever and the victim could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
It's important to recognize that not all mistakes made by attorneys are considered to be malpractice. Strategies and mistakes are not generally considered to be malpractice attorneys have plenty of discretion to make decisions based on their judgments as long as they're reasonable.
The law also allows lawyers an enormous amount of discretion to not conduct discovery for a client as long as the error was not unreasonable or a case of negligence. Legal malpractice can be committed through the failure to uncover important documents or evidence, such as medical reports or witness statements. Other instances of malpractice law firms could be a failure to add certain claims or defendants, such as forgetting to file a survival count in a wrongful death lawsuit or the frequent and extended inability to contact a client.
It's also important to note that it has to be proven that, had it not been the negligence of the lawyer the plaintiff would have won the underlying case. If not, the plaintiff's claims for malpractice will be denied. This requirement makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. It's crucial to hire an experienced attorney.
Damages
A plaintiff must prove that the attorney's actions resulted in actual financial losses in order to win a legal malpractice suit. In a lawsuit, this must be proven with evidence such as expert testimony and correspondence between the client and attorney. 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 causation.
Malpractice occurs in many ways. Some of the most common mistakes are: failing to meet a deadline or statute of limitations; failing to conduct a conflict check on cases; applying law incorrectly to a client's circumstances; and breaching the fiduciary duty (i.e. Commingling funds from a trust account an attorney's own accounts as well as not communicating with the client are just a few examples of misconduct.
In the majority of medical malpractice cases, the plaintiff will seek compensatory damages. The compensations pay for the cost of out-of-pocket expenses and expenses like hospital and medical bills, costs of equipment to help recover and lost wages. Victims can also claim non-economic damages, such as pain and discomfort or loss of enjoyment in their lives, as well as emotional stress.
Legal malpractice cases usually involve claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages. The former compensates a victim for the loss resulting from the attorney's negligence, while the latter is intended to discourage future misconduct by the defendant.
