How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Medical malpractice lawsuits can be very complicated. There are specific guidelines to be followed, which include the time frame within which the lawsuit can be filed.
The plaintiff must also prove that the doctor's actions caused injuries and losses. This will require hospital and medical documents.
Complaint
Your lawyer will file a court complaint and summons after he has found evidence of misconduct. The complaint will identify the defendants and state the allegations you bring against them.
Malpractice claims are based on the notion that nurses, doctors, or other healthcare professionals owe patients the same level of care. This standard is defined as the amount of skill and caution that a reasonable medical professional who has similar training could exercise in similar situations. Your legal team must show that your doctor did not adhere to this standard and resulted in you suffering quantifiable injury.
A physician's standard of care is often an issue of opinion, and it can be difficult to prove. This is why it is crucial to choose a law firm that has access to experts who can testify on the medical field and what an experienced professional in your situation would have done.
It's not only doctors who make medical errors; hospital staff members, like nurses and anesthesiologists can be liable for malpractice. This is especially true for emergency room staff, where mistakes are often made due to a crowded environment and overworked workers. Your attorney may be able to get testimony from experts in the emergency room who can help demonstrate the proper procedure and how your doctor's actions did not meet the standards.
Discovery
During the discovery stage, your attorney will collect and analyze evidence that could support a malpractice case. This includes medical documents, witness statements expert testimony and more. The legal team representing the other side will also have the option to request this information from you and your attorney. This is accomplished through interrogatories or requests for documents. Certain materials are considered to be privileged and secret due to privacy laws, for instance HIPAA's Privacy Rule.
You must also prove that your injury is due to the negligence of the doctor. This is the most difficult component of a medical malpractice case as it requires an expert testimony to support your claim.
Your lawyer will also depose witnesses that can prove that the doctor was negligent. This can include radiologists, dentists as well as nurses, assistants and other personnel who were involved in the treatment of your health. Your lawyer will be proficient at taking strong and effective depositions to convince these witnesses to admit that the doctor's negligence was a factor.
The majority of lawsuits are resolved or settled, before they reach the trial stage. For medical malpractice cases, this is especially common since the cost of going to trial can be quite expensive. Once the facts are established then you can negotiate a settlement with the insurance company of the doctor. If a settlement cannot be reached, your case will then proceed to trial.
Trial
Once your attorney has completed the initial investigation and determines you have an excellent malpractice case, they will file the complaint. This will clearly outline the allegations and be sent to the defendant in the summons.
The next phase involves discovery. The next stage involves discovery. This includes the exchange and depositions of witnesses. The lawyer will use the statements to prove that your doctor did not follow the standard of care. The objective is to prove that the error was a result from the negligence of the doctor that caused damage.
In addition to the witness's testimony Your medical malpractice lawyer (try what he says) will collaborate with two or more expert witnesses to support your claim. These experts will receive medical records and details about your case to prepare for their depositions and testimonies. They may also aid in making your case ready for trial.
Your lawyer will initiate settlement discussions with the defense during the trial preparation. This process continues throughout the case and can take up to many years. During this period, you will be recovering from your injuries and determining the magnitude and value of your injuries. It's in everyone's best interest to settle your case outside of the courtroom and avoid litigation whenever feasible. Your lawyer will carefully weigh the advantages of a settlement offer against your current and future recovery. If the settlement is reasonable your lawyer will advise you to accept it.
Damages
During the discovery process Plaintiffs must demonstrate that their losses were significant and that the negligence of the defendant contributed to those damages. For example, if the doctor did not inform the patient of the 30% risk that the procedure would result in the loss of a arm, and the operation was successful, but the patient lost a limb, then the medical professional may be held accountable for malpractice.
A victim may also demonstrate that a skilled lawyer could have prevented or mitigated their financial loss. This is sometimes referred to as the "but for" test. It is also important to prove that the plaintiff has incurred costs in the pursuit of a successful legal claim, that is higher than the amount demanded in compensation.
Our medical malpractice lawyers can explain the different types of damages that can be sustained in a malpractice lawsuit including the past, present and future medical expenses as well as lost income, suffering and pain and suffering, as well as other non-economic losses. The higher the amount the more serious the injury. However, a successful verdict is sometimes overturned on appeal. Settlements outside of court may be beneficial for certain clients. It will save money and time on litigation costs. It also avoids the risk of a jury ruling on a case based upon emotions rather than facts.
