Medical Malpractice Law
Even with the best training and an oath to do no harm, medical mistakes could happen. When they do, the consequences can be devastating for patients.
Malpractice law is a branch of tort law that focuses on professional negligence. A malpractice lawsuit must satisfy the following four requirements:
Malpractice claims in the United States are typically filed in state trial courts. Numerous legal tools, malpractice like depositions under oath, are employed in order to collect evidence for the case.
Duty of care
A doctor is bound by the duty of care if you have a patient-doctor relationship. This is regardless of whether the doctor sees you in a hospital or at your home. However, there are certain situations where doctors could be liable for malpractice even without the existence of a patient-doctor relationship.
A person who owes an obligation of accountability must act in the same manner as a reasonable person under the circumstances. For example, a driver is bound by a duty of care to drive with safety and not cause injury to other road users. If the driver fails in this duty and causes injury, he/she is liable for any injuries that result.
Doctors have a duty of taking care of their patients at all times. This includes situations where doctors are not your doctor, for instance when you ask a doctor for advice in an elevator or in a restaurant. However, the obligation to be a good neighbor is usually limited by Good Samaritan laws.
Medical professionals also have a responsibility of care to inform their patients of the dangers associated with certain procedures and treatments. Failure to do this is a violation of the duty of care of a doctor. A doctor may also breach their duty of care if they prescribe you a medication that interacts with other medications you're taking.
Breach of duty
Generally, doctors owe patients a duty to provide medical care that is consistent with the accepted standards of care. This standard is determined by the laws of the present and by standards developed by medical associations. If a physician fails to meet this obligation they are acting negligently. A malpractice attorney will look over the evidence and determine whether there was a violation of the standard of care.
A doctor may violate their duty of care in a variety of ways. It's not only about whether doctors did something reasonable people would not do in the same circumstances but also things they should have done or not done. Expert witness testimony is often required to determine the accepted standard of medical practice.
A doctor might have violated their obligation 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, just proving that an error in duty was committed is not enough to prove malpractice. To be awarded damages, you must prove that there was a direct link between the breach of duty committed by the doctor and your injury or illness. This is known as causation. This can be a complicated connection to make in some instances, but a skilled malpractice lawyer will work hard to discover the evidence required to prove this connection.
Causation
A malpractice claim only has legal validity if the plaintiff is able to prove that the defendant's negligent actions caused the damages and losses. Expert testimony is required to establish medical negligence. This requires proving that there was a relationship between patient and provider and that the provider's conduct violated the acceptable standard. It is crucial that a person's injury must be directly connected to the act or omission that was in violation of the standard of care. This is called causality or proximate cause.
When proving legal malpractice it is essential to show that the attorney's negligence resulted in significant negative consequences for you. You must demonstrate that the expenses of a lawsuit outweigh your losses. The plaintiff must also prove that the negligence resulted in actual and measurable damage.
Most malpractice cases go through an investigation process that involves oral depositions. Your lawyer will represent you at these depositions, and ask questions of the defense experts to challenge their findings and show that the evidence backs your assertions. It is essential to have a seasoned medical malpractice attorney on your side because the process of establishing the four components of malpractice, such as breach, duty the duty, causation and injury is complicated and time-consuming. Your lawyer will guide you through each step. The more steps you follow the greater chances you will be successful in your claim.
Damages
The amount of compensation a patient receives in a medical malpractice case depends on their injury and the amount they require to cover medical expenses, loss of income, or other financial losses. In certain cases, punitive damages may be given to the plaintiff as punishment for the malpractice of the doctor. However, these are rare since doctors must have committed a deliberate or reckless act to be awarded punitive damages.
The law requires that a person alleging medical malpractice prove four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was an obligation of care on the part of the doctor; (2) the doctor violated this duty by a deviation from the prevailing standards of practice; (3) as a result of the doctor's deviance, the victim suffered injury and (4) the injury is quantifiable in terms of a monetary amount. The person who was injured must bring a lawsuit prior to the deadline for filing a lawsuit, which is determined by the statute of limitations applicable to them which varies from state to state.
The law recognizes that some medical malpractice claims can be complex and expensive to resolve, particularly when they are based on complicated issues such as proximate causes or the possibility of foreseeability. Its purpose is to ensure that victims receive the redress that they deserve, while preventing unjustified and opportunistic lawsuits cause delays in the courts. It also aims to reduce costs by requiring that all defendants bear responsibility for a claim's success (joint and multiple liability) while limiting the amount a plaintiff could receive if other defendants don't have funds to pay ("damage caps) and stopping doctors from practicing defensive medicine, which includes changing their treatment plans due to the threat of malpractice lawsuits.
