Medical Malpractice Law
Even with the best training and an oath to never cause harm, medical mistakes can occur. When they do, the results can be devastating for patients.
Malpractice law is a branch of tort law which deals with professional negligence. A malpractice lawsuit must satisfy four fundamental requirements:
Malpractice claims in the United States are typically filed in state trial courts. Numerous legal tools, like depositions under oath, are used in order to gather evidence for the case.
Duty of care
A doctor is bound by a duty of care when you have a patient-doctor relationship. This applies whether the doctor is treating you in a hospital or in your own home. However, there are instances where doctors are liable for malpractice even without the existence of a doctor-patient relationship.
A person who owes an obligation of care must behave in the same manner as a reasonable individual under the circumstances. A driver, for example, has a duty of care to drive with safety and not to cause injury to other road users. If a driver does not fulfill this duty and causes injury, he/she could be held accountable for any injuries that occur as a result.
Doctors have a duty of taking care of their patients at all times. This is even when a doctor is not your doctor for instance, when you ask an expert to provide advice in an elevator or an eatery. Good Samaritan laws often limit the duty to be a good Samaritan.
Medical professionals are required to warn patients about the risks associated with certain procedures and treatments. Failure to do so constitutes the breach of a doctor's obligation. A doctor can also breach their duty of care when they give you medication that is known to interact with other medications that you are taking.
Breach of duty
In general, doctors have an obligation to provide medical care that meets the accepted standard of practice. This standard is established by the laws of the present and standards that are drafted by medical organizations. Doctors who do not adhere to this obligation is considered to be negligent. A malpractice lawyer will review the evidence and determine if there was a breach of the standard of care.
A doctor may violate their duty of care in many ways. It's not just about if the doctor did something a reasonable person would not do in the same circumstance and also what they ought to have done or did not do. Most of the time, it is necessary to obtain expert witness testimony to determine what the accepted medical standard of practice would be.
A doctor could have violated their duty if they prescribe an unintentionally dangerous medication with another drug. This is a common error that can result in serious health consequences.
However, merely showing that an error in duty was committed is not enough to establish malpractice. To be awarded damages, you have to show an immediate link between the breach of duty committed by the doctor and your injury or illness. This is referred to as causation. This is a challenging connection to establish in some cases, but a seasoned malpractice attorney lawyer will work hard to uncover the evidence needed to establish the connection.
Causation
A malpractice case is only valid legal validity if the plaintiff is able to prove that the defendant's negligent actions caused the damages and losses. To prove medical negligence, it is necessary to use of expert testimony to establish the existence of a patient-provider relationship and that the service provider violated the accepted standard of care. It is important that a person's injury must be directly connected to the act or omission which violated the standard of care. This is known as causality or proximate causes.
When proving legal malpractice in court, you must prove that the lawyer's lapse had significant negative ramifications for you. You must demonstrate that the expenses of a lawsuit outweigh your losses. The plaintiff has to also prove that the negligence resulted in actual and measurable damage.
Most malpractice attorneys cases go through the discovery process, which includes oral depositions. Your lawyer will represent you at these depositions, and ask questions of the experts in defense to challenge their conclusions and to show that the evidence backs your claims. It is crucial to have an experienced medical malpractice lawyer on your side since the four elements of malpractice, which include duty, breach causation, harm and breach is a lengthy and complicated process. Your lawyer will be aware of each step of the process and will help you meet all requirements. The more steps you complete, the greater your chances of winning.
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 pay medical bills and income loss or other financial losses. In certain cases there may be punitive damages given to the plaintiff as a punishment for the malpractice of the doctor. These are extremely rare, as doctors must have been negligent or with the intention of receiving punitive damages.
The law requires that anyone alleging medical malpractice prove four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was an obligation of care on the part of the physician; (2) the doctor did not fulfill this duty when he or she departed from the accepted standards of practice; (3) as a result of the doctor's lapse, the victim suffered injury; and (4) the damage can be quantified in terms of an amount in money. Additionally the victim must bring a lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitations, which varies by state.
The law recognizes that some medical malpractice claims are complex and costly to resolve, particularly if they involve complicated questions like proximate reasons or predictability. Its goal to give victims the justice they are entitled to, without allowing unnecessary and opportunistic lawsuits slow down the process. It also aims to cut costs by requiring that all defendants share the liability for a claim's outcome (joint and several responsibility); limiting the total amount that a plaintiff can recover if other defendants lack funds to pay ("damage caps"); and preventing doctors from practicing defensive medicine, that is, changing their treatment plans in response to the risk of malpractice lawsuits.
