Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
The process of bringing a malpractice lawsuit is a complex procedure. If a patient is able to prove four factors, it will determine whether or not the mistake is malpractice. These are professional obligation and a breach of that obligation; a repercussion from the breach; and quantifiable damage.
Plaintiffs must be able to prove the elements using evidence such as expert testimony and depositions.
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. The misdiagnosis of a patient is a frequent cause of medical malpractice. To prove negligence, a person or their lawyer must show that a skilled doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed a problem.
It is not always a case of negligence, but. Even highly skilled and experienced doctors make mistakes, so a claim of malpractice must be backed by other elements such as breach, proximate causality and actual injury. For instance If a doctor does not properly sterilize their equipment prior to administering anesthesia and the patient suffers an infection as a result the doctor may be liable for malpractice.
In the majority of instances, lawsuits claiming that there was a mistake will be filed in the state trial court in which the alleged malpractice took place. However, federal courts could be able to handle cases in certain circumstances. A claim may be filed before federal court in certain circumstances. For example it could be disputes over the statute of limitations or when the parties are of different nationalities. Alternatively, some claims are resolved through binding arbitration that is voluntary. This is a less formal procedure involving professional decision makers that is designed to reduce costs, speed up legal proceedings and reduce the possibility of excessively generous juries. Arbitration is not available in all cases of malpractice.
Wrong Drug Dosage
Medication errors are one of the main causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. These errors are caused by a physician submitting prescriptions in the wrong format, or giving the patient the wrong dosage. These mistakes are usually avoidable. Based on the circumstances, a hospital staff member, a pharmacist or other health professionals may be held liable for the injuries sustained by the patient who received the wrong drug dosage.
A doctor might prescribe the wrong medication as a result of a misdiagnosis. Or, simply misreading the prescription. A health care provider may also administer the wrong dosage due to a breakdown in communication for instance, when nurses read the handwritten prescription of a doctor incorrectly or the pharmacist makes an error in filling the prescription. In other cases the doctor might delay the proper medication, which could cause the patient's illness to worsening.
A plaintiff must prove for the sake of winning a malpractice claim, that the medical professional breached their standard of practice and that their injuries were directly attributed to the negligence. This requires medical expert testimony. In addition, a medical mishap case must establish the severity of the victim's injuries as well as the damages they sustained because of the negligence. This includes the cost of a person's treatment and any lost wages. The more money you lose is, the more valuable of the claim.
Incorrect Procedure
This kind of incident is not unusual. It might seem unattainable for medical professionals to carry out the incorrect procedure on patients, but it's true. A surgeon who commits this error can be found to be liable for malpractice. However those who are injured by a surgical mistake could also be held accountable for any negligence that occurred the process.
Any health care professional who is alleged to be negligent must prove that the patient was injured through a specific act or inaction. To prove this, the legal team representing the patient has to prove: (1) that the doctor had a responsibility to treat or provide care to the patient; (2) that he violated his duty; (3) that a causal connection exists between the breach and injury; and (4) the injury results in damages the legal system can address.
A breach of duty of care has no value unless it results in injury. This is the reason why medical malpractice lawyer cases are typically based on the legal doctrine "res ipsa locquitur," which says that certain injuries are so obvious they can only be explained by negligence.
Depending on the circumstances depending on the facts, the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim or their legal representative) or their lawyer can choose to file in either state or federal court. Most malpractice cases are filed in state court. However, in certain situations medical malpractice lawsuits could be filed in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
Wrong-site surgery is a rare mistake, but it could be considered medical malpractice if the procedure is carried out on the wrong portion of the body. This type of mistake is usually caused by miscommunications between the surgical team or pressures on production that result in a surgeon having multiple surgeries at once. In these cases the surgeon is not solely accountable for a mistaken-site procedure due to the legal principle of "res ipsa locquitur", which states that the outcome speaks for itself and cannot be blamed on negligence.
If a patient gets injured by wrong-site surgery it is possible that he or she will require additional procedures to repair problems exacerbated by the mistake. Patients and their families are left with expensive medical bills. It is important to consider these costs when calculating the financial costs of medical malpractice lawsuits.
Surgeons are typically accountable for surgical errors as they are the ones who are responsible for preparing for the operation, double-checking the patient's chart and medical records, coordinating effectively with other members of the medical team, and making sure that the incision is placed at the right place. In some instances the hospital or anesthesiologist can also be held liable. Medical malpractice cases are usually filed in state courts, but may be transferred in certain circumstances to federal court.
