How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Medical malpractice lawsuits are complex. There are certain guidelines to be adhered to including a time limit within which the suit may be filed.
The plaintiff must also prove that the doctor's actions caused injuries and losses. This will require hospital and medical records.
Complaint
When your attorney's inquiry has revealed evidence that a malpractice was committed, he will file a complaint with the court and issue summons. The complaint will identify the defendants, and then state the allegations you have made against them.
Malpractice claims are based on the notion that a doctor or nurse or other healthcare provider owes a patient a minimum standard of care. This standard is defined as the degree of expertise and prudence that a reasonable medical professional with the same training would exercise in similar circumstances. Your legal team must show that your doctor violated this standard and caused you to suffer quantifiable harm.
A doctor's standard of care is usually an issue of opinion and is difficult to prove. This is why it's essential to select a law firm with access to experts who can provide testimony about the medical field and what reasonable professionals in your situation would have done.
Not only doctors can make mistakes, but so can hospital staff, including nurses and anesthesiologists. This is particularly true for emergency room staff, whose errors are usually due to a crowded environment and overworked employees. Your lawyer may be able to secure an expert witness from the emergency room personnel who can show the circumstances that led to the incident and how your doctor firm failed to meet this standard.
Discovery
During the discovery stage during the discovery phase, your lawyer will gather and examine evidence that could be used to support a malpractice claim. This includes medical records, witness statements expert testimony and more. The legal team on the other side may also be able to request these documents from you and your attorney. This is done by interrogatories or requests for documents. However, certain materials could be privileged or confidential because of privacy laws like HIPAA and its Privacy Rule.
You must also prove that your injury is the result of negligence by the doctor. This is the most difficult element of a case involving medical negligence because it requires an expert testimony to support your claim.
Your lawyer will also question any witnesses that can prove the negligence of the doctor. This could include radiologists dentists, nurses, assistants and other people who were involved in the treatment of your health. Your lawyer will be adept in preparing powerful and effective depositions that force these witnesses to admit that the doctor's negligence was a factor.
Most lawsuits are resolved, or settled, before they reach the trial stage. In medical malpractice cases this is particularly common due to the fact that going to trial can be quite expensive. After the facts of your case have been established, a settlement can be negotiated between you and the insurance company of the doctor. If a settlement isn't attainable your case will proceed to trial.
Trial
Your lawyer will file a complaint following having completed the initial investigation. If they determine that you have a solid case for malpractice, they will file it. This will clearly state the allegations and be sent to the defendant in a summons.
The next step is discovery. This includes the exchange of medical records and depositions of witnesses. Your lawyer will use these statements to prove that the doctor violated the standard of care. The aim is to prove that the error resulted of negligence by the doctor and caused damages.
Your medical malpractice lawyer will also work with one or more expert witnesses to prove your claim. These experts will be provided medical records and detailed information regarding your case in order to prepare for their testimony and deposition. They may also help prepare your case for trial.
Your attorney will start talks with the defense during the preparation for trial. This process is ongoing throughout the course of the trial and can sometimes last for many years. In this time, you are recovering from your injuries and determining the severity of your injuries. When you can, it's in everyone's best interest to avoid litigation and settle outside of court. Your lawyer will carefully consider the merits of a settlement against your present and long-term recovery. If the settlement seems reasonable, your lawyer will encourage you to accept it.
Damages
During the discovery phase, plaintiffs have to prove that their losses are significant and that the negligence of the defendant contributed to these damages. For instance, if the doctor did not inform the patient that the procedure was associated with a 30 percent chance of losing a limb. Moreover, if the procedure was completed perfectly but the patient lost their arm or limb, the doctor could be liable for malpractice.
A victim may also show that a competent lawyer could have averted or reduced their financial loss. It is sometimes referred to the "but for test". It is also required to prove that the plaintiff was liable for costs to pursue a successful legal claim which are more than the amount demanded as compensation.
Our medical malpractice lawyers can explain the various types of damages that can be attained in a malpractice case including past, present and future medical expenses and lost income, as well as suffering and other non-economic losses. The greater the amount of money awarded the more serious the damage. However, a verdict that is deemed to be a success is sometimes overturned on appeal. So, settling out of court can be a viable option for a few clients. It can save money and time on litigation costs. It also eliminates the risk of a juror choosing a case based on emotions rather than facts.
