Medical Malpractice Law
Even with the best training and an oath to do no harm, medical errors could happen. If medical errors occur, the consequences for patients can be devastating.
The law of malpractice is a part of tort law which deals with professional negligence. A malpractice suit must satisfy four fundamental requirements.
Malpractice claims in the United States are typically filed in state trial courts. To gather evidence, a variety of legal tools are employed for depositions, such as those taken under the oath.
Duty of care
A doctor is bound by an obligation of care when you are in a relationship with a doctor. This is true regardless of whether the doctor is treating you in a hospital or in your home. There are certain circumstances where doctors can be held liable for malpractice even when there is no patient-doctor relation.
A person who has an obligation of care must act in the same way as a reasonable person under the circumstances. For instance, a driver has a duty to be cautious when driving and not cause injuries to other people on the road. If the driver is not upholding this obligation and results in an accident, he or she could be held responsible for any injuries resulting from the accident.
Doctors are obliged to taking care of their patients at all times. This includes instances when a doctor is not officially your doctor, like when you ask a doctor for advice in an elevator or outside of a restaurant. Good Samaritan laws often limit the duty to be a good Samaritan.
Medical professionals have a duty to inform patients about the dangers associated with certain procedures and treatments. In the absence of this, it is an infraction of the doctor's duty. A doctor may also be in breach of their duty of care if they give you medication that is known to interact with other medications you are taking.
Breach of duty
In general, doctors are under an obligation to their patients to provide treatment that is consistent with accepted standards of practice. This standard is set by the laws of the present and standards developed by medical associations. Doctors who do not adhere to this obligation is deemed negligent. A malpractice lawyer will look over the evidence to determine if the standard of care was breached.
A doctor can breach their duty of care in many ways. It's not just about if doctors did something a reasonable person would not do in the same situation as well as things they ought to have done or did not do. Expert witness testimony is often required to determine the accepted standard of medical practice.
A doctor may have violated their responsibilities if they prescribe the medication that is dangerously incompatible with another drug. This is a common error that can result in serious consequences for your health.
However, merely showing that a breach of duty occurred is not enough to prove the malpractice. To be awarded damages, you must prove an immediate link between the doctor's breach of duty and your injury or illness. This is referred to as causation. In some cases it is difficult to establish the link. A skilled malpractice attorney will do their best to locate the evidence necessary to establish the connection.
Causation
A malpractice claim can be substantiated only if the plaintiff is able to demonstrate that the defendant's negligent actions led to the injuries and losses. To prove medical negligence, it is necessary to use of expert testimony to prove that a patient-provider connection existed and that the provider breached the standard of care that is acceptable. It is crucial that the harm to someone be directly connected to the act or omission that was in violation of the standard. This is called causality or the proximate cause.
It is essential to show that the negligence of your attorney resulted in significant negative consequences for you in the event of you are proving that the attorney committed legal malpractice. You must demonstrate that the cost of a lawsuit exceed your losses. The plaintiff must also demonstrate that negligence caused actual and measurable damages.
The majority of malpractice cases go through discovery that includes oral depositions. Your lawyer can represent you at these depositions, asking questions of the experts in defense to challenge their conclusions and to prove that the evidence supports your claims. It is essential to have an experienced medical malpractice attorney on your side because the process of establishing the four elements of malpractice lawsuit, including breach, duty causation, harm and breach is complex and time-consuming. Your lawyer is aware of every step of the process and can help you meet all requirements. The more steps you go through more steps you complete, the better your chance of winning.
Damages
The monetary compensation a patient receives in a medical malpractice case is determined by the severity of their injuries and the amount they need to cover medical bills or loss of income or other financial losses. In some cases the plaintiff can be awarded punitive damages to penalize the doctor for their conduct. But, they are very rare since doctors must have committed a deliberate or reckless act to be awarded punitive damages.
The law requires that anyone seeking medical malpractice prove four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was a duty of care on the part of the physician; (2) the doctor breached the duty of care by straying from the standard of practice; (3) as a result of the doctor's deviance, the victim suffered injury and (4) the damage can be quantified in terms of an amount in money. Additionally the victim must make a claim within the applicable statute of limitations which is different for each state.
The law recognizes that some medical negligence claims require substantial costs and time to resolve, especially those that deal with complex issues of proximate causes or foreseeability. Its purpose is to give victims the justice they deserve, without allowing frivolous or opportunistic lawsuits to clog the courts. It also aims to reduce costs by requiring that all defendants bear the responsibility for a claim's success (joint and several liability) as well as limiting the maximum amount that a plaintiff can recover if other defendants lack funds to pay ("damage caps") and also preventing doctors from practicing defensive medicine, that is, changing their treatment plans due to the threat of malpractice lawsuits.
