Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys hold a fiduciary relationship with their clients and are required to behave with care, diligence and expertise. Attorneys make mistakes, just like any other professional.
The mistakes made by an attorney are considered to be malpractice. To prove negligence in a legal sense the victim must demonstrate duty, breach of obligation, causation, as well as damage. Let's examine each of these aspects.
Duty
Doctors and medical professionals take an oath to use their skill and training to treat patients and not to cause further harm. The duty of care is the foundation for the right of patients to receive compensation if they are injured by medical negligence. Your lawyer can help determine if your doctor's actions violated the duty of care, and whether these breaches caused injury or illness to you.
Your lawyer must establish that the medical professional you hired owed an obligation of fiduciary to act with reasonable skill and care. Proving that this relationship existed may require evidence, such as your doctor-patient records or eyewitness testimony, as well as expert testimony from doctors with similar qualifications, experience and education.
Your lawyer will also need to prove that the medical professional breached their duty of care by failing to follow the accepted standards in their area of expertise. This is commonly described as negligence. Your lawyer will evaluate the actions of the defendant to what a reasonable person would do in a similar situation.
In addition, your lawyer must prove that the defendant's breach of duty directly resulted in the loss or injury you suffered. This is referred to as causation, and your attorney will use evidence such as your medical records, witness statements and expert testimony to prove that the defendant's failure to live up to the standards of care in your case was a direct cause of your loss or injury.
Breach
A doctor has a responsibility of care to his patients which is in line with professional medical standards. If a doctor does not meet the standards, and the resulting failure causes an injury that is medically negligent, negligence could result. Expert testimonials from medical professionals who possess similar qualifications, training and skills can help determine the quality of care in any given situation. State and federal laws as well as institute policies also define what doctors must perform for specific types of patients.
To prevail in a malpractice lawsuit it must be proven that the doctor violated his or their duty of care, and that this breach was the direct cause of injury. In legal terms, this is known as the causation component and it is vital to establish. For instance an injured arm requires an x-ray, the doctor has to properly set the arm and then place it in a cast for proper healing. If the doctor is unable to do this and the patient is left with a permanent loss of use of the arm, malpractice could have taken place.
Causation
Attorney malpractice claims rely on evidence that the attorney's mistakes caused financial losses to the client. For example the lawyer does not file an action within the timeframe of limitations, which results in the case being lost for ever the person who was injured could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
It's important to know that not all mistakes made by attorneys are considered to be malpractice. Mistakes in strategy and planning are not usually considered to be malpractice, and attorneys have the ability to make judgment calls as long as they're reasonable.
The law also allows attorneys the right to refuse to conduct discovery on behalf of a client provided that the reason for the delay was not unreasonable or a case of negligence. Legal malpractice attorneys can be caused by failing to discover important documents or information, such as medical reports or witness statements. Other instances of malpractice include the inability to add certain defendants or claims, for instance not noticing a survival count in an unjustly-dead case or the inability to communicate with clients.
It's also important to keep in mind that it has to be proven that, had it not been the negligence of the lawyer the plaintiff would have won the underlying case. The claim of the plaintiff for malpractice will be rejected in the event that it is not proved. This makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. This is why it's crucial to hire an experienced attorney to represent you.
Damages
A plaintiff must demonstrate that the lawyer's actions led to actual financial losses in order to prevail in a legal malpractice suit. In the case of a lawsuit this has to be proven through evidence, like expert testimony or correspondence between the client and malpractice lawsuit attorney. A plaintiff must also prove that a reasonable lawyer could have prevented the damage caused by the lawyer's negligence. This is referred to as the proximate cause.
It can happen in a variety of ways. The most frequent kinds of malpractice are the failure to adhere to a deadline, which includes a statute of limitations, failing to conduct a conflict check or other due diligence on a case, improperly applying law to a client's circumstance and breaching a fiduciary responsibility (i.e. mixing trust account funds with an attorney's personal accounts) or a mishandling of a case, and not communicating with clients.
Medical malpractice suits typically involve claims for compensatory damages. They compensate the victim for out-of-pocket expenses and losses, like medical and hospital bills, costs of equipment that aids in recovering, and lost wages. Additionally, victims may be able to claim non-economic damages such as suffering and suffering as well as loss of enjoyment life and emotional distress.
Legal malpractice cases often involve claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages. The former is intended to compensate the victim for the losses due to the negligence of the attorney while the latter is intended to discourage future malpractice on the part of the defendant.
