What Makes Medical Malpractice Law Firm Malpractice Legal?
Medical malpractice claims must comply with strict legal requirements. They must meet the statute of limitations and proving an injury caused by the negligence.
All treatments come with a level of risk. A doctor must inform you of the risks involved to obtain your informed consent. Some adverse outcomes are not the result of malpractice.
Duty of care
A doctor has a responsibility to take care of a patient. If a doctor fails to meet the standards of medical treatment may be considered to be negligence. It is important to know that a doctor's obligation of care only applies when there is a relationship between patient and doctor in place. If a doctor is working as a member on an employee at a hospital, for example it is not possible to be held liable for their mistakes under this principle.
Doctors are required to inform patients of the potential effects and risks of procedures. This is known as the obligation of informed consent. If a doctor does not inform a patient of this information before giving medication or allowing procedure to be performed, they could be liable for negligence.
Doctors also have a responsibility to treat patients within their area of expertise. If a doctor is outside their field then he or she must seek medical assistance to prevent malpractice.
In order to file a claim against a health professional, it's essential to prove that they breached their duty of care and this constitutes medical malpractice. The plaintiff's lawyer must also demonstrate that the breach caused an injury. This could be financial loss, for example, a need for additional medical malpractice lawsuit treatment or a loss of income due to a lack of work. It's possible the doctor made a mistake which resulted in emotional and psychological damage.
Breach
Medical malpractice is a form of tort which falls under the legal system. Unlike criminal law, torts are civil violations that permit a victim to recover damages from the person who caused the offense. The basis of medical malpractice lawsuits is the concept of breach of duty. A physician has responsibilities of care to patients based on medical standards. A breach of those duties is when a physician fails to follow these standards, and consequently causes injury or harm to the patient.
Breach of duty is the reason for the majority of medical negligence lawsuits that result from errors by doctors at hospitals and similar healthcare facilities. However, a claim for medical malpractice could also arise from the actions of private physicians in a clinic or any other medical practice settings. Local and state laws may define additional rules regarding what a physician is obligated to patients in these types of settings.
In general, in order to win a case of medical negligence in court, the plaintiff must prove four elements. These include: (1) a medical profession had a duty to the plaintiff of care; (2) the doctor didn't adhere to those standards; (3) the breach of duty led to victim's injury; and (4) the injury resulted in damage to the victim. A successful claim for medical malpractice is often based on depositions of the doctor who is suing, as well as other witnesses and experts.
Damages
In order to prove medical malpractice, the person who suffered must prove that the doctor's negligence caused damages. The patient must also show that the damages are fair quantifiable and due to the injuries caused by the negligence of the doctor. This is called causation.
In the United States, a legal system designed to encourage self resolution of disputes is based on adversarial advocacy. The system is built on extensive pre-trial discovery that includes requests for documents, interrogatories, depositions and other means of gathering information. The information gathered is used to prepare for trial by the litigants and inform the court on what might be in dispute.
A majority of cases involving medical malpractice go to court without a trial before they reach the trial stage. This is due to the fact that it takes time and money to settle the litigation through trial and jury verdicts in state court. Certain states have enacted various administrative and legislative actions that collectively are referred to as tort reform measures.
This includes removing lawsuits in which one defendant is responsible for paying a plaintiff's entire damages amount in the event that the other defendants do not have the funds to pay (joint and several liability) as well as allowing the recovery of future expenses such as health care costs and lost wages to be paid in installments instead of one lump sum, and limiting the amount of monetary settlements awarded in malpractice lawsuits.
Liability
In every state, a medical malpractice claim must be brought within a specific period of time known as the statute of limitations. If a lawsuit is not filed within the timeframe, it will almost certainly be dismissed by the court.
In order to prove medical malpractice the medical professional must have breached his or their duty of care. The breach must also have caused harm to the patient. In addition the plaintiff must establish proximate cause. Proximate cause is the direct connection between an act or omission that was negligent and the injuries that the patient suffered as a result of those actions or omissions.
Typically health professionals must inform patients about the potential risks of any procedure they are considering. If a patient is not informed of the risks and is later injured or even killed, it could be considered medical malpractice to not provide informed consent. For example, a doctor may inform you that you have prostate cancer and treatment is likely to require an operation called a prostatectomy (removal of the testicles). Patients who undergo the procedure without being informed of the potential risks, and later suffer from urinary incontinence, or impotence, might be able to file a lawsuit for malpractice.
In certain cases the parties to a medical negligence suit may opt to utilize alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation or arbitration before a trial. A successful mediation or arbitration process can often aid both parties in settling the matter without the need for an expensive and long trial.
