Malpractice Litigation

Malpractice litigation can be a long and complicated process. It requires the patient, or a legally-appointed representative, to show that the physician was obligated to them under a duty of care, and that the doctor did not fulfill that duty and injury resulted.

There were a variety of proposals made to alter the legal rules governing medical malpractice. The trial and jury system was replaced by an alternative that would lower costs and speed up settlements, eliminate excessively generous juries and also screen out frivolous claims.

Incorrect diagnosis

Misdiagnosis is one of the most common forms of medical malpractice. It happens a lot each year and can have devastating effects, including the need for unneeded surgery, long hospital stays, and excessively aggressive treatment. In some cases the wrong diagnosis can cause death.

To prove that there was a malpractice the evidence must show that the doctor was bound by a duty to the patient and breached this duty by failing to diagnose the condition or injury correctly. Most of the time, the inability of the doctor to meet the standards of medical care is established by an expert's opinion. This can be a medical professional with vast knowledge of the kind of illness that is being investigated. The expert must also demonstrate that the physician failed to adequately add the disease to his or her list of differential diagnosis using methods such as asking additional questions, observing further, or ordering more tests in the diagnostic procedure.

A plaintiff must also demonstrate that the injuries resulting from the misdiagnosis resulted directly from the breach of duty. This typically involves proving actual damages like past or future medical expenses, lost income as well as pain and discomfort, reduced life span, and other losses. The plaintiff must also file the suit within the statute of limitations which typically are two or three years after the injury was caused.

The wrong procedure

It may be shocking to hear, but surgeons make the wrong decision on patients around 20 times per week. These errors in surgery could result in unanticipated medical costs as well as additional suffering for patients. A skilled medical malpractice lawyer can help you obtain the compensation you need for your losses.

A successful malpractice case requires a convincing argument that the doctor is negligent. A claim of malpractice based on a surgery error must prove that the defendant's actions were different from the standard care that would have been offered by a physician with the same training in similar situations. This can be done through expert testimony and a thorough review of medical documents.

During the discovery phase in the discovery phase, your lawyer will exchange files with the defense team to be used in your case. The documents could comprise medical and surgical documents, lab reports and evidence of your injury. Your lawyer will speak with witnesses to collect information about your case. During the interview with the witness, the opposing attorney will question you under an oath. This is called a deposition.

Surgery that is performed at the wrong site is a relatively rare but very serious form of malpractice lawsuit. This kind of malpractice typically is caused by a physician who fails to follow the surgical recommendation or the medical history of a patient. In this situation it is simple to prove negligence. However, determining who should be held responsible is not always easy.

Wrong Drugs

Each year, more than a million Americans are injured or have their health issues worsened by drug errors. Doctors should exercise extreme care when prescribing medicines, to ensure that they are appropriate and safe for the patient. If the doctor's actions are not in line with the medical standard of care and you suffer a severe injury as consequence, it could be considered to be malpractice.

Sometimes an error isn't made at the doctor's office but rather in the hospital. For instance, a nurse might not have a proper understanding of a prescription and give the wrong medication or dosage. The pharmacy could also be negligent by filling the incorrect medication or a medication with harmful ingredients.

Emergency Room Errors

Emergency rooms are high-stress, high pressure environments which can be hazardous for patients. Doctors are often under pressure to attend to as many patients as they can and run tests as quickly as they can, communicate with each other, and read or write reports while providing top-quality care to every patient. This pressure can lead to errors that can have catastrophic consequences.

ER errors can range from mistaken diagnosis of a patient, to premature discharge. The most common causes of ER errors are inadequate medical history, misinterpretation of test results and failure to consult with specialists. ER staff may also make mistakes in communicating with one another or with the patient such as not mentioning a patient's allergies or adverse health conditions, or not giving the correct instructions to nurses.

In order to have grounds for a malpractice claim, the plaintiff must first prove that the medical professional violated the standard of care. The standard of care is defined as the degree of care that a reasonable medical professional would have provided in similar circumstances. The plaintiff is then required to show that this negligence caused their injury and resulting damages. A successful plaintiff can recover compensation for past and future medical bills, physical suffering in addition to loss of wages, earning capacity, funeral expenses and funeral costs in the event that they are applicable.
