    Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation

    Malpractice litigation involves a complex process. If a person can prove four elements, it will decide whether or not the mistake is a case of malpractice. These are the following: a professional obligation in breach of this obligation; an injury that results from the breach; and quantifiable damage.

    Plaintiffs must also prove the elements using evidence like expert testimony and depositions.

    Undiagnosed or Incorrectly Diagnosed

    Failure to identify an injury or illness accurately can result in serious complications, or death. Misdiagnosis is a common reason for medical malpractice. To establish negligence, a patient or their lawyer must show that a qualified doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed a problem.

    Not every misdiagnosis is malpractice, however. Even the most skilled and trained doctors make mistakes, therefore an allegation of malpractice needs to be backed by other elements such as breach, proximate cause and actual injury. For instance If a doctor fails to properly clean their equipment prior the time they administer anesthesia to a patient and they develop an infection in the process the doctor may be liable for malpractice.

    Lawsuits alleging malpractice are typically filed in state trial courts where the alleged error occurred. Federal courts could, however, have jurisdiction in certain instances. A case can be brought before federal court in certain circumstances. For example it could be the issue of a statute of limitation or in the event that the parties have different citizenships. Certain claims are settled through arbitration that is binding and voluntary. This is a less formal procedure that involves professional decision makers. It is designed to lower expenses, speed up the legal process, and remove the risks associated with generous juries. However, arbitration isn't available for all malpractice claims.

    Wrong Drug Dosage

    Medication errors, also referred to as medication errors are among the most common causes of medical malpractice suits. These errors could be caused by a physician submitting a prescription in the wrong format or giving the patient the incorrect dosage. These mistakes are usually preventable. Based on the circumstances, a hospital or its staff, a pharmacist or other health care providers could be held responsible for the injuries sustained by patients who were given the wrong dosage of medication.

    A doctor may prescribe the incorrect medication to a patient because of an incorrect diagnosis or simply due to a misreading of the prescription. A health care provider can also administer the incorrect dosage because of a glitch in communication. For instance the nurse might interpret a doctor's prescription incorrectly or a pharmacist could make an error when filling the prescription. In other cases the doctor may delay giving the correct medication, which could cause the patient's illness to getting worse.

    In order to be successful in a malpractice case, a victim must show that the medical professional did not meet their standards of care and that negligence directly caused the injuries. This requires medical expert testimony. Additionally, a medical malpractice case must demonstrate the extent of the victim's injuries as well as the damages they suffered because of the negligence. This includes the cost of treatment for the victim as well as any wages lost. The greater person's losses are, the more valuable the claim will be.

    Unskillful Procedure

    It might seem absurd that medical professionals would perform the wrong procedure on a patient, however, this type of event can occur. If a surgeon makes this error can be found responsible for negligence. However patients who are injured due to a surgical error may also be held liable for any negligence that occurred on the path to the procedure.

    Any health care professional who is accused of misconduct must prove that the patient was injured by a specific action or inaction. To prove this the legal counsel of the patient must demonstrate that: (1) the doctor had the obligation to provide medical care or treatment; (2) that the doctor did not fulfill this duty; (3) that there is a direct causal link between the breach and the injury and (4) that the injury causes damages that the legal system could deal with.

    A breach of the duty of care has no significance unless it causes injury which is the reason medical malpractice lawsuits are generally founded on a legal principle known as "res ipsa loquitur." This law states that, in the majority of cases, certain injuries are so obvious and unmistakable that they can only be explained by negligent acts.

    Depending on the circumstances of the case, the plaintiff (the patient or their legally appointed representative) or their attorney can present the claim to state or federal court. Most malpractice cases are filed in state courts, however in certain situations the medical malpractice lawsuit can be brought in federal district court.

    Wrong Surgery

    Surgery performed on the wrong site is a very rare error, but it could be considered medical negligence if the procedure is carried out on the wrong portion of the body. This kind of error is usually caused by a lack of communication between the surgical team or production pressures that lead to a surgeon having multiple surgeries at once. In these cases the surgeon isn't alone in his or her responsibility for a surgical error that is not performed correctly because there is the legal principle known as "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the outcome of the error speaks for itself and cannot be traced to negligence.

    If an individual is injured in an improper procedure and is injured, they may require additional procedures in order to correct problems that were exacerbated by the mistake. Patients and their families are left with high medical bills. This expense should be taken into consideration when calculating the financial impact of medical malpractice claims.

    Surgeons are typically accountable for surgical errors as they are the ones who are responsible for prepping for the operation and double-checking the patient's medical chart and medical records, communicating effectively with other members of the medical team, and making sure the incision is placed at the right place. However, in certain instances an anesthesiologist or hospital may also be held responsible. Medical malpractice cases are usually filed in state courts, but they may be transferred under certain circumstances to federal court.
