Malpractice Litigation

Malpractice litigation can be a long complex process. It is essential for the patient or an legally appointed representative to prove that the doctor violated the duty of care that was owed to them and that a repercussion resulted.

A variety of ideas have been proposed to change the legal rules governing malpractice claims. These proposals would replace the trial and jury system by a different system that will lower costs, speed settlements, eliminate excessively generous juries and screen out fraudulent medical claims.

Incorrect diagnosis

Medical malpractice is often caused by mistaken diagnosis. It occurs countless times every year, with devastating consequences, including unneeded surgical procedures, prolonged hospital stays, or aggressive treatment. In some cases the wrong diagnosis can result in death.

To prove malpractice, the doctor must have breached his obligation to the patient by failing to diagnose an injury or illness correctly. In most cases, the failure of the doctor to provide the required care is proven through an expert opinion. This could be an expert in medicine who has vast knowledge of the kind of disease in question. The expert must also show that the doctor failed to adequately add the disease to his or her list of differential diagnosis by using methods like asking further questions, making further observations, or ordering more tests in the diagnostic procedure.

A plaintiff also needs to prove that the injuries resulting from the mistake were the direct result of the breach of duty. This typically involves proving damages that are actual, such as future and past medical expenses and lost income, as well as suffering and pain, shortened life expectancy, and other losses. The plaintiff must also file a lawsuit within the time limit of the statute of limitations which usually are two or three years after the incident occurred.

Unskillful Procedure

It might be shocking to discover that surgeons perform the incorrect procedure on a patient approximately 20 times a week. These surgical errors often result in patients being faced with unexpected medical expenses as well as pain and suffering. An experienced medical malpractice lawyer could assist you in obtaining the compensation you require for your losses.

A successful malpractice lawsuit requires a convincing argument that the physician is negligent. A claim of negligence due to a surgical error malpractice lawsuit needs to demonstrate that the defendant's course action was different from the standard of care that is expected to be provided by similarly trained doctors in similar circumstances. This can be demonstrated through expert testimony and a thorough review of medical documents.

During the discovery process your attorney and defense team will exchange pertinent documents for use in your case. These documents may include medical and surgical records, lab reports and documents of your injuries. Your lawyer will also interview witnesses to gather information to support your case. During the interview, you will be asked questions under oath by opposing counsel. This is known as a deposition.

The wrong-site surgery is a very rare yet serious form of malpractice. This kind of malpractice typically is the result of a doctor who fails to follow surgical recommendation records or the medical history of a patient. In this scenario it's easy to prove that negligence took place. However, determining who should be held liable is not always straightforward.

Wrong Drugs

Drug errors can cause injuries or worsening health conditions in over a half a million Americans every year. Doctors must take extreme care when prescribing medications to ensure that they are safe and appropriate for the patient. If you suffer serious injuries because of a doctor's deviation from the standard medical treatment there could be negligence.

Sometimes the error doesn't occur in the doctor's offices but rather in the hospital. A nurse might misunderstand the prescription for a medication and then administer the wrong dosage or medication. A pharmacy may also be negligent by filling in the wrong medication or one with harmful ingredients.

Emergency Room Errors

Emergency rooms can be stressful and high-pressure environments. This can be dangerous for the patients. Doctors are usually under a lot of pressure to see as many patients as they can and run tests as quickly as they can and communicate with one another and read or write reports while also providing high-quality treatment to every patient. However, these hectic environments can create mistakes that could cause catastrophic harm.

ER errors can include anything from misdiagnosis and premature discharge of patients. The majority of ER errors are caused by the absence of medical history, a misinterpretation or test results, and a failure to consult specialists. ER staff can also make mistakes in communicating with one another or with the patient such as not communicating the patient's allergies or other health conditions or giving incorrect instructions to nurses.

In order to be able to bring a case for a malpractice lawsuit, the plaintiff must first establish that the medical professional acted in violation of the standard of care. The standard of care is defined as the standard of care that a reasonable medical professional could have provided in similar circumstances. The plaintiff must prove that the negligence was responsible for their injuries and damages. A successful plaintiff can seek compensation for past and future medical bills as well as physical pain and suffering loss of earnings, earning capacity, funeral expenses and funeral costs where applicable.
