    Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation

    The process of bringing a malpractice lawsuit is a complex procedure. If an error is malpractice based on whether the patient can prove four legal elements: a professional duty and breach of this duty; injury due to the breach and damages that can be quantifiable.

    Plaintiffs must also prove the elements by using evidence, such as expert testimony and depositions.

    Incorrect diagnosis and inability to diagnose

    Inability to recognize an injury or illness in a timely manner can lead to serious complications, or even death. A large number of medical malpractice cases involve mistakes in diagnosis. To prove negligence the patient or their lawyer must demonstrate that a competent doctor in similar circumstances and in the same area would not have misdiagnosed the condition.

    Misdiagnosis doesn't always mean malpractice attorney. Even highly trained and experienced doctors make mistakes. Therefore, any claim of malpractice has to be supported by other factors such as breach, proximate cause and actual injury. If a doctor fails sterilize his equipment prior to administering anesthesia, and the patient gets infected because of this, the doctor could be found to be negligent.

    In most instances, lawsuits claiming malpractice will be filed in the state trial court in which the alleged malpractice took place. Federal courts can, however, have jurisdiction in certain instances. For instance, a lawsuit could be filed in federal court if it is the interpretation of the statute of limitations or when there is a substantial diversity of citizenship of those involved in the dispute. Some claims are settled by binding arbitration. This is a less formal procedure with professional decision makers. It is intended to cut costs, speed up legal proceedings, and eliminate the risk of overly generous juries. However, arbitration is not accessible for all claims of malpractice.

    Wrong Drug Dosage

    Medication mistakes, also referred to as medication errors, are one of the most common causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. They can involve a physician prescribing a prescription in error or giving the wrong dosage to the patient. These mistakes are often avoidable. In certain circumstances the hospital, its staff, a pharmacist or other health care providers may be held liable for the injuries of patients who were given the wrong dose of medication.

    A doctor might prescribe the wrong medicine because of a misdiagnosis. Or, simply making a mistake in the prescription. A health professional may also prescribe the wrong dose due to an issue with communication for instance, when a nurse reads a doctor's handwritten script incorrectly or the pharmacist is mistaken in filling out the prescription. In other instances, the physician may delay giving the correct medication, which could lead to the patient's condition worsening.

    A person seeking compensation must prove, to be successful in a malpractice lawsuit that the medical professional violated their standard of practice and that their injuries were directly caused by the negligence. This requires medical experts to be able to testify. Additionally, a medical malpractice case must prove the extent of the victim's injuries as well as the damages they suffered as a result of the negligence. This includes the cost of treatment and any wage loss. The greater person's losses are in the greater value of the claim will be.

    Unskillful Procedure

    This kind of incident is not unusual. It may seem impossible for medical professionals to perform the incorrect procedure on patients but it's true. A surgeon who makes this mistake can be held accountable for malpractice. However, a patient who is injured by a surgical mistake can also be held accountable for any negligence that occurred the way to the procedure.

    A health care professional accused of malpractice must prove that a patient was injured by an act or failure to perform the act. To prove this the legal counsel of the patient must prove that (1) the doctor was under an obligation to provide treatment or treatment; (2) that the doctor violated that duty; (3) that there is a direct and causal connection between the breach and the injury and (4) that the injury results in damages which the legal system has the power to resolve.

    A breach of the duty of care is not relevant unless it causes injury this is why medical malpractice lawsuits are generally made based on a law called "res ipsa loquitur." This law says that, in the majority of cases certain injuries are evident and obvious that they can only be explained through negligent actions.

    Depending on the facts of the situation, the plaintiff (the patient or their legally appointed representative) or their attorney could make the claim in a state or federal court. Most malpractice cases are filed in state court, however in certain circumstances medical malpractice lawsuits could be filed in federal district court.

    Wrong Surgery

    Surgery performed on the wrong site is a very rare error, but it could be considered medical malpractice when the procedure is performed on the wrong side of the body. This kind of error is usually due to miscommunication between the members of a surgical team or production pressure that leads to the surgeon being assigned multiple surgeries simultaneously. In these cases the surgeon is not solely responsible for a misplaced procedure due to a legal principle known as "res ipsa locquitur" which says that the outcome is a matter of fact and cannot be attributed to negligence.

    If an individual is injured in an incorrect procedure the patient may require additional procedures to fix problems that were made worse by the mistake. Patients and their families are left with expensive medical bills. These costs should be taken into consideration when calculating the financial impact of medical malpractice claims.

    Surgeons are often held accountable for surgical errors because they are the ones who are accountable for getting ready for the procedure as well as double-checking the patient's charts and medical records, coordinating effectively with the other members of the medical team and making sure that the incision has been located at the correct location. However, in some instances an anesthesiologist or a hospital could be held accountable. Medical malpractice claims are generally filed in state courts. However, in certain situations they may be transferred to federal courts.
