How to File a Medical Malpractice Claim
A malpractice claim is a legal proceeding that is brought against a healthcare professional for negligent acts which cause injury to patients. In malpractice cases, an plaintiff's legal team must establish that the doctor's actions were a deviation from the standards of care that is expected from doctors with similar qualifications and education.
Your lawyer will use written questions sent to the defendant doctor and requests for documents. Medical malpractice lawsuits are filed in state trial courts.
Botched Treatment
You may be able to bring a malpractice lawsuit against your surgeon if you are the victim of cosmetic surgery that was not done correctly. Cosmetic surgeries like liposuction and breast implants are usually elective procedures and not medically needed, but it doesn't mean they do not pose risks. Surgeons must inform patients about the common unavoidable risks as well as undesirable results. They should also allow patients to decide whether they prefer the advantages over the risks. If the surgeon does not disclose such information, they could be held liable for malpractice.
For an injury to be considered medically negligent, it must meet several legal requirements. Documentation, such as your medical bills are a way to prove an interaction between a doctor and patient. The surgeon must also not have been able to provide the medical standard that is accepted as standard care in similar circumstances. The negligence must be the cause of your injuries.
In the event of a botched cosmetic surgery it could be as simple as leaving the body with a sponge or as complicated as a novice plastic surgeon performing an unnecessary procedure. You could be entitled compensation for lost wages, pain, suffering and any future medical costs in the event of an injury, based on the severity of the injury. You may also be able file a claim under vicarious responsibility against the surgeon's employer. This is because employers such as hospitals and clinics can be held accountable for actions committed by their employees while on duty.
Failure to Diagnose
Everyone expects their doctors consider any new or troubling symptoms seriously and to conduct the appropriate tests to accurately diagnose an illness or injury. If a health professional fails to meet this requirement and the patient suffers damages this could be construed as medical malpractice.
When a doctor doesn't properly diagnose a patient, it may cause unnecessary harm and death. For example an infection that's not diagnosed could get worse and cause sepsis, a potentially life-threatening condition that requires immediate treatment.
A claim for failure to diagnose is usually built on evidence showing that healthcare professionals had a duty of caring for the patient, that the doctor breached the duty, and that his negligence caused the patient's injuries. A successful case is likely to require expert testimony from a medical professional who is qualified about the proper standards of practice and how the accused doctor's actions were in violation of the standard.
The good news is that, in many cases healthcare professionals learn from their mistakes and implement changes to improve their care. For instance, after a series of fatal incidents where doctors were unable to detect heart attacks, it was learned that women typically experience different symptoms than men and healthcare workers must be more aware of these differences. These lessons can help prevent the occurrence of future errors. If you think your doctor has failed to properly diagnose you or your loved one, it is important to discuss your case with an attorney as quickly as possible to determine the kind of malpractice claim you might have.
Failure to Follow Post-Surgery Protocols
Malpractice lawsuits can be filed against a medical professional if the doctor fails to follow the correct protocol for post-surgery and a patient suffers injury. A surgeon, for example, who fails to instruct the patient on how to minimize the risk of infection could be blamed for medical negligence.
Another type of malpractice claim is based on a doctor's inability to provide informed consent. This is an essential element of any medical procedure, because it ensures that the patient knows what or she will be facing and can make an informed decision whether to move forward with the procedure. If a physician does not inform the patient that a specific procedure has the chance of losing an limb, then the patient is likely to opt out in the event they are fully aware of the potential risks.
Physicians involved in malpractice litigation face an adversarial legal system that could be an unfamiliar terrain. It requires a lot of resources, including time in courtrooms and settlement negotiations.
There are a myriad of ways to decrease the amount and frequency of malpractice lawsuits. For example, some states have enacted enterprise liability which places the responsibility for malpractice lawsuits with the health care organization instead of the individual physicians who are liable for the claims. This has led to a decrease in malpractice payments and premiums.
Injuries due to surgical errors
Hospitals and surgeons must ensure that the procedure is safe. If you don't validate patient information, set up the operating room in a safe manner and mark the sites of incisions or instruct your staff on surgical checklists, you could commit a variety of errors. Research suggests that 4,000 surgical errors are committed in the United States each year, that's about 11 per day. These medical malpractice cases could cause serious injuries like internal bleeding, amputations, and nerve damage.
A claim for surgical error malpractice has to prove that the health care professional did not meet the standard of care, and resulted in an injury to the patient. To prove this an attorney's team must gather evidence of superior quality. Medical documents and bills are also included. It is a good idea to record the names of health professionals and dates of interactions so that lawyers can present a compelling case.
Many medical malpractice cases state that hospital staff or surgeons members didn't adhere to the guidelines of care while performing a procedure. There are many surgical errors that are not an instance of malpractice. A successful malpractice lawsuit must demonstrate four elements that include the legal duty of a health professional and the breach of that duty, the harm caused by negligence, and damages. A lawyer can look over your medical records and consult with medical experts from third parties to determine if a surgeon or other health care professional's actions were a breach of the standard of care.
