Medical Malpractice Litigation
Medical malpractice litigation is complex and time-consuming. Both defendants and plaintiffs are also obliged to pay a significant price.
In order to receive compensation for malpractice, a patient must prove that the negligent medical treatment led to their injury. This involves establishing four legal elements which include professional duty and breach of that duty inflicting injury, and the resulting damages.
Discovery
The most important aspect of a case involving medical negligence is gathering evidence. This can be done via written interrogatories, or requests for documents. Interrogatories are questions that need to be answered under oath by the opposing party to the lawsuit and are used to establish the facts needed to be used in trial. Documents that are requested to be produced permit tangible documents to be obtained like medical malpractice lawsuit records or test results.
In many cases, your attorney will record the deposition of the defendant physician in an audio recording of questions and answers. This permits your attorney to ask the witness or physician questions that might not be allowed during trial. It can be very beneficial in cases involving expert witnesses.
The information collected during pretrial discovery is used in trial to prove the following components of your claim:
Breach of the standard care
Injuries that result from a violation of the standards of care
Proximate cause
A doctor's inability to apply the level of expertise and knowledge of doctors in their field and that caused injury or injury to the patient
Mediation
Although medical malpractice trials can be essential, they also have major disadvantages for both sides. For plaintiffs who are facing a lawsuit, the stress, expense, and time commitment of a trial can cause psychological harm on them. A trial can lead to embarrassment and a loss of status for defendant health care professionals. It could also have adverse effects on their profession and practice because the financial benefits received as part of a pretrial settlement are typically reported to national databanks for practitioners as well as state medical licensing boards, and medical societies.
Mediation is a more cost-efficient and time-efficient method to settle an issue involving medical malpractice. By avoiding the cost of trial and avoiding the possibility of weakening jury verdicts, allows both parties to be more flexible in their settlement negotiations.
Both sides must provide an overview of the dispute to the mediator prior mediation (a "mediation brief"). Parties will usually let their communications go through their lawyer rather than directly between themselves at this stage as direct communication could be used against them later on in court. As the mediation process progresses, it's a good idea to focus on your case's strengths, and be ready to acknowledge your case's weaknesses. This will allow the mediator to fill any gaps and offer you a reasonable offer.
Trial
The aim of tort reformers is to develop a system that compensates those who suffer injuries due to physician negligence in a timely fashion and without a large cost. While this is a challenge some states have enacted tort reform measures to cut the cost of medical malpractice claims.
The majority of doctors in the United States carry malpractice insurance to safeguard themselves from allegations of professional negligence in medical instances. Some of these policies are required as a condition for hospital privileges or employment with a medical organization.
To be compensated for injuries resulting from a medical practitioner’s negligence, the injured patient must demonstrate that the doctor's actions did not meet the standards of care applicable to the profession in which they practice. This concept is called proxy causation and is a key element in a medical malpractice case.
A lawsuit starts with the filing of a civil summons and complaint in the appropriate court. After this the parties have to engage in a disclosure process. This involves written interrogatories as well as the issuance of documents, including medical record. Depositions (in which lawyers question witnesses under oath), and requests for admission are also involved.
In a medical malpractice case, the burden of proof is heavy. Damages are awarded based on both economic losses (such as lost income or the expense of future medical treatment) as well as non-economic damages such as pain and discomfort. If you are pursuing a claim for medical malpractice, it's crucial to consult a skilled lawyer.
Settlement
Settlements are the simplest way to settle medical malpractice lawsuits. In general, the actual dollar value of a case is negotiated between the plaintiff and the defendants (often through or alongside the defendant's malpractice/professional liability insurer). The result is a check for the patient, which is then given to the plaintiff's lawyer who deposit it into an account for escrow. The lawyer will then deduct the case costs and legal fees according to the representation agreement, and then pays the injured person payment.
In order to prevail in a medical negligence case, the patient who has suffered must prove that a physician or other healthcare professional had a duty to care, and then violated the duty by failing to perform the required level of knowledge and expertise in their field, that in direct consequence of that breach, the patient suffered injury, and that such injuries are quantifiable in terms of monetary loss.
The United States has a system of 94 federal district courts which are equivalent to state trial courts. each of these courts has jurors and judges which decides on cases. In certain situations the case of medical negligence could be transferred to one of the federal district courts. In the United States, physicians carry medical malpractice insurance to safeguard themselves from lawsuits for harm caused by negligence. Physicians should be aware of the nature and workings of our legal system so that they can react in a timely manner to claims made against them.
