Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation is a complicated process. If a patient can demonstrate four elements, it will determine whether or not the mistake is malpractice. These are professional obligation; a breach of that duty; an injury resulting from the breach; and quantifiable damage.
Plaintiffs must also prove these elements through evidence like expert testimony, depositions, and discovery.
Misdiagnosis or Failure to Diagnose
The inability of a doctor to accurately diagnose an illness or injury can result in serious complications or even death. Many medical malpractice cases result from mistakes in diagnosis. To prove negligence, the patient or their attorney must demonstrate that a competent physician under similar circumstances and in the same area would not have misdiagnosed the condition.
The misdiagnosis of a patient does not always mean malpractice. Even highly-trained and experienced doctors are not immune to mistakes. Therefore, any claim of malpractice must be supported with other elements like breach, proximate cause or actual injury. For instance If a doctor does not properly sterilize their equipment before administering anesthesia and the patient suffers an infection due to the infection the doctor could be found to be negligent.
Lawsuits that claim malpractice are usually filed in state trial courts, where the alleged malpractice occurred. Federal courts could be able to handle the case in certain circumstances. A case can be brought before a federal court in certain circumstances. For example, it may involve the issue of the statute of limitations or when the parties have different citizenships. Some claims can be resolved through binding arbitration that is voluntary. This is a less formal procedure which involves professionals who make the decisions. It is designed to cut costs, expedite the legal process, and remove the risk of overly large juries. However, arbitration isn't accessible for all claims of malpractice.
The wrong dosage of medication
Medication errors are one of the most frequent causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. They can result from a doctor prescribing the wrong medication or administering the wrong dosage to a patient. These errors are generally preventable. Depending on the circumstances, a hospital or its staff, a pharmacist or other health care providers could be held accountable for the injuries suffered by patients who were given the wrong dose of medication.
A doctor may prescribe the wrong medication to a patient as a result of an incorrect diagnosis or simply due to a misreading of the prescription. A health professional could also give the wrong dosage due to a lapse in communication. For example nurses may take a doctor's prescription and read it incorrectly or a pharmacist could have a mistake while filling the prescription. In other cases the doctor may delay delivering the correct medication, which can result in the patient's health worsening.
To prevail in a malpractice lawsuit, a victim must show that the medical professional did not meet their standard of care and that the negligence directly caused their injuries. This requires medical expert testimony. Medical malpractice cases also must prove the extent and damage of the victim's injuries. This includes the cost of treatment as well as any lost wages. The more money you lose of the claim, the greater the value of the claim.
The wrong procedure
It might seem unlikely that medical professionals would carry out the incorrect procedure on a patient but this type of incident is quite common. A surgeon who commits this error can be found liable for negligence. A patient who is injured because of an error during surgery may be held accountable for any negligence that occurred during the procedure.
A health professional accused of malpractice must demonstrate that the patient was injured due to a specific act, or inability to act. To establish this the legal team of the patient must prove that (1) the doctor had an obligation to provide treatment 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 which the legal system has the power to resolve.
A breach of the duty of care is not relevant unless it causes injury, that's why medical malpractice claims are typically founded on a legal principle called "res ipsa loquitur." This law states that, in a lot of instances certain injuries are obvious and unmistakable that they can only be explained through negligent acts.
Depending on the facts, the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim or their legal representative) or their attorney may decide to file the claim in either state or federal court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state court. However, under limited circumstances medical malpractice lawsuits may be filed in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
Surgery performed on the wrong site is a very rare error, but it may be considered medical malpractice when the procedure is performed on the wrong part of the body. This kind of error is usually caused by miscommunication between members of a surgical team or production pressure that leads to the surgeon being tasked with multiple surgeries at one time. In these situations the surgeon isn't solely responsible for malpractice Lawsuits his or her liability for a wrong-site surgery because there is the legal principle known as "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the result of the error speaks for itself and cannot be traced to negligence.
If a patient is injured due to surgery performed on the wrong site the patient may require additional treatments to correct issues that were caused by the surgical mistake. This could result in expensive medical expenses for patients and their families. It is essential to consider these costs when calculating the financial burden of medical malpractice claims.
Most often surgeons are accountable for surgical mistakes. They are accountable for preparing the patient for surgery, reviewing the medical records and charts of the patient, coordinating with the rest of the medical team, and ensuring that the incision was placed in the correct place. In some instances, a hospital or anesthesiologist may be held accountable. Medical malpractice claims are generally filed in state court, however, they can be transferred under certain circumstances to federal court.
