Medical Malpractice Lawsuits

Attorneys hold a fiduciary relationship with their clients and are required to act with care, diligence and competence. But, as with all professionals attorneys make mistakes.

There are many mistakes made by an attorney are considered to be malpractice. To establish legal malpractice, the aggrieved party must show obligation, breach, causation and damage. Let's take a look at each one of these aspects.

Duty

Doctors and other medical professionals swear to use their training and expertise to treat patients and not cause further harm. The legal right of a patient to compensation for injuries suffered from medical malpractice lawsuit is based on the notion of the duty of care. Your attorney can determine if the actions of your doctor breached the duty of medical care and if these breaches resulted in your injury or illness.

Your lawyer has to prove that the medical professional in question owed you the fiduciary obligation to act with reasonable skill and care. The proof of this relationship could require evidence like the records of your doctor-patient or eyewitness evidence, or expert testimony from doctors who have similar qualifications, experience and education.

Your lawyer will also have to demonstrate that the medical professional violated their duty to care by failing to adhere to the accepted standards of their field. This is typically called negligence. Your lawyer will assess what the defendant did to what a reasonable individual would do in the same situation.

Your lawyer will also need to prove that the defendant's breach directly contributed to your loss or injury. This is known as causation. Your lawyer will make use of evidence like your medical documents, witness statements and expert testimony to prove that the defendant's inability to adhere to the standards of care in your case was the direct cause of your loss or injury.

Breach

A doctor has a duty of care for his patients that corresponds to professional medical standards. If a doctor fails to meet those standards and fails to do so results in injury, medical malpractice and negligence could occur. Expert evidence from medical professionals who possess similar qualifications, training and skills can help determine the quality of care for a specific situation. State and federal laws as well as institute policies also determine what doctors should provide for specific kinds of patients.

To prevail in a malpractice case it is necessary to prove that the doctor breached his or his duty of care and that this breach was the direct cause of injury. This is referred to in legal terms as the causation element, and it is crucial to prove it. For instance when a broken arm requires an xray the doctor should properly fix the arm and place it in a cast to ensure proper healing. If the doctor did not do this and the patient suffered a permanent loss of use of the arm, then malpractice could have occurred.

Causation

Attorney malpractice claims rely on the evidence that proves that the lawyer's mistakes caused financial losses to the client. For instance, if a lawyer fails to file a lawsuit within the prescribed time of limitations, which results in the case being lost forever the party who suffered damages could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.

It is crucial to realize that not all errors made by attorneys constitute malpractice. Errors involving strategy and planning do not typically constitute malpractice, and attorneys have a lot of latitude to make judgment calls as long as they're reasonable.

The law also gives attorneys a wide range of options to refuse to perform discovery on the behalf of their clients, as in the event that it is not unreasonable or negligent. Legal malpractice is committed by not obtaining crucial documents or evidence, such as medical reports or witness statements. Other examples of malpractice include a inability to include certain defendants or claims, such as forgetting to submit a survival count in a case of wrongful death or the consistent and prolonged inability to contact the client.

It is also important to note the fact that the plaintiff has to show that if it wasn't the lawyer's negligence, they would have won their case. If not, the plaintiff's claims for malpractice will be rejected. This requirement makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. It is important to employ an experienced attorney.

Damages

A plaintiff must prove that the attorney's actions resulted in actual financial losses in order to prevail in a legal malpractice suit. In a lawsuit, this has to be proven through evidence, such as expert testimony and correspondence between the client and attorney. In addition, the plaintiff must prove that a reasonable lawyer could have prevented the harm caused by the attorney's negligence. This is called proximate causation.

It can happen in many different ways. The most frequent types of malpractice include the failure to adhere to a deadline, which includes the statute of limitations, failure to perform a conflict check or any other due diligence on a case, improperly applying law to a client's situation or breaching a fiduciary obligation (i.e. mixing trust funds with attorney's personal accounts) or mishandling an instance, and failing to communicate with clients.

In most medical malpractice cases, the plaintiff will seek compensatory damages. These compensate the victim for the expenses out of pocket and losses, like hospital and medical bills, the cost of equipment that aids in healing, as well as lost wages. In addition, victims may be able to claim non-economic damages like pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress.

In many legal malpractice cases, there are lawsuits for punitive as well as compensatory damages. The first is meant to compensate the victim for the losses caused by negligence on the part of the attorney while the latter is meant to deter future malpractice on the defendant's part.
