Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation is a complicated procedure. If a patient can prove four elements, it will decide whether or not the error is malpractice. These are professional obligations or breach of that duty; an injury resulting from the breach; and measurable damages.
Plaintiffs must also prove these elements through evidence such as expert testimony, depositions, and discovery.
Misdiagnosis or Failure to Diagnose
The inability of a doctor to correctly diagnose an illness or injury could result in serious complications or even death. Many medical malpractice cases result from mistaken diagnosis. To prove negligence the patient or their attorney must show that a competent doctor under similar circumstances and working in the same area would not have misdiagnosed the condition.
The misdiagnosis of a patient does not always mean negligence. Even highly experienced and trained doctors make mistakes. Therefore, a claim of malpractice must be backed by other elements such as breach, proximate reason and actual injury. If a doctor does not sterilize his equipment prior to giving anesthesia and the patient becomes infected due to this, the doctor might be found to be negligent.
In the majority of cases, lawsuits alleging malpractice will be filed in the state trial court in which the malpractice was alleged to have occurred. Federal courts could, however, have jurisdiction in certain instances. For example, lawyers a claim could be filed in federal court if there is the interpretation of the statute of limitations or in the event of a significant difference in citizenship among the parties involved in the case. Additionally, some cases are resolved through binding arbitration that is voluntary. This is a less formal procedure that is governed by professional decision makers. It is designed to reduce costs, expedite the legal process, and remove the risk of overly generous juries. Arbitration is not available in all instances of malpractice.
The wrong dosage of medication
Medication errors, also referred to as medication mistakes are among the most common causes of medical malpractice suits. These errors could be caused by a physician who writes prescriptions in a wrong format or giving the patient the wrong dosage. These errors are typically preventable. According to the circumstances the hospital staff member, a pharmacist or other health care providers could be held accountable for the injuries suffered by a patient who was given the wrong dose of medication.
A doctor might prescribe the wrong medication as a result of a misdiagnosis or simply failing to read the prescription. A health professional could also prescribe the wrong dosage due to a breakdown in communication. For example nurses may interpret a doctor's prescription incorrectly or a pharmacist might have a mistake while filling the prescription. In other instances, the physician may delay giving the correct medication, which could cause the patient's illness to worsening.
A person who suffers from a medical malpractice claim must prove, for the sake of winning a malpractice claim that the medical professional violated their standards of practice and that their injuries were directly caused by the negligence. This requires medical experts to be present. Furthermore, a medical negligence case must demonstrate the extent of the victim's injuries as well as the damages they suffered as a result of the negligence. This includes the cost of treatment and any wage loss. The greater the loss, the higher the value of the claim.
Unskillful Procedure
It might seem absurd that medical professionals would carry out the wrong procedure on a patient but this type of mishap can occur. A surgeon who makes this mistake could be held responsible for negligence. However the patient who is injured due to a surgical error can also be held accountable for any negligence that occurred the way to the procedure.
A health care professional who is accused of malpractice must demonstrate that the patient was injured as a result of an act or failure to act. To prove this the legal counsel of the patient must prove that: (1) the doctor had an obligation to provide treatment or treatment; (2) that the doctor breached this duty; (3) that there is a direct causal link between the breach and the injury; and (4) that the injury results in damages that the legal system could address.
A breach of duty of care has no meaning unless it result in injury. This is why medical malpractice cases are often based on the legal doctrine "res ipsa locquitur" which says that certain injuries are so obvious they can only be explained through negligence.
Based on the facts, the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim or their legal representative) or their lawyer can choose to file either in state or federal court. The majority of malpractice law firms cases are filed in state court, but in certain situations medical malpractice lawsuits may be filed in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
A wrong-site procedure is a rare error, but it may be considered medical malpractice if the procedure is carried out on the wrong portion of the body. This type of error is often caused by miscommunications between the surgical team, or due to pressures in the production process that result in a surgeon having multiple surgeries assigned at once. In these cases, a surgeon is not solely responsible for a misplaced operation due to a legal rule known as "res ipsa locquitur" which states that the outcome is a matter of fact and cannot be attributed to negligence.
When a patient is injured by wrong-site surgery the patient may require additional procedures to fix problems that are aggravated by the surgical error. This leads to costly medical expenses for the patient and their families. These expenses must be taken into consideration when calculating the financial consequences of medical malpractice lawsuits.
Most often surgeons are liable for surgical errors. They are accountable in preparing the patient prior to the procedure, examining the medical record and chart of the patient, coordinating with the rest of the medical personnel, and ensuring that the incision was placed in the proper location. In some cases, a hospital or anesthesiologist can also be held liable. Medical malpractice cases are usually filed in state courts, but can be transferred under certain circumstances to federal court.
