Common Causes of malpractice law firm Litigation
The legal process for defending malpractice is a complex procedure. If a patient is able to prove four elements, it will determine whether or not the mistake is a case of malpractice. These are the following: a professional obligation and a breach of that duty; a loss resulting from the breach; and quantifiable damage.
Plaintiffs must also prove these elements through evidence such as expert testimony, depositions, or discovery.
Undiagnosed or Incorrectly Diagnosed
Inability to recognize an illness or injury accurately can cause serious complications, or death. Many medical malpractice cases involve incorrect diagnosis. To establish negligence, a patient or their lawyer must demonstrate that a seasoned doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed a problem.
Not every misdiagnosis is negligence, but. Even highly trained and experienced doctors make mistakes, and an allegation of malpractice needs to be backed by other elements such as breach, proximate causation and actual injury. For instance the case where a physician is not careful to sterilize their equipment prior to giving anesthesia, and the patient develops an infection as a result, the doctor could be found to be negligent.
In the majority of cases, lawsuits that allege 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 circumstances. A case may be brought before federal court in certain circumstances. For instance it could be the issue of the statute of limitations or if the parties are of different nationalities. Certain disputes are settled via binding arbitration. This is a less formal process that is governed by professional decision makers. It is designed to reduce costs, speed up legal process, and remove the risk associated with overly large juries. Arbitration is not accessible in all cases of malpractice.
Dosage of a drug that is incorrect
Medication errors are one of the main causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. These errors are caused by a doctor who has submitted prescriptions in the wrong format or giving the patient the incorrect dosage. These mistakes are usually preventable. Based on the circumstances the hospital or its staff, a pharmacist or other health professionals may be held liable for the injuries of a patient who was prescribed the wrong drug dosage.
A doctor may prescribe the wrong medication to a patient because of an inaccurate diagnosis or simply because they misread the prescription. A health care provider can also administer the incorrect dosage due to a lapse in communication. For instance the nurse might take a doctor's prescription and read it incorrectly or a pharmacist could make an error when filling the prescription. In other cases, a doctor could delay administering the correct medication to the patient, which could result in the patient's condition getting worse.
To win an action for malpractice, a victim must establish that the medical professional did not meet their standard of care, and that the negligence directly caused their injuries. This requires medical experts to be present. Moreover, a medical malpractice claim must establish the extent of a victim's injuries and the damages they sustained because of the negligence. This includes the cost of treatment as well as any lost wages. The greater the loss is, the more valuable of the claim.
Wrong Procedure
It may seem impossible that medical professionals would perform the incorrect procedure on a patient, but this type of incident can occur. The surgeon who makes this mistake could be held liable for malpractice. A patient who suffers injury as a result of a surgical error may be held accountable for any errors that occured during the procedure.
A health professional accused of malpractice must demonstrate that a patient was injured by the specific act or failure to perform the act. To establish this the legal counsel of the patient must demonstrate that: (1) the doctor was bound by a duty to provide care or treatment; (2) that the doctor did not fulfill this duty; (3) that there is a direct causal connection between the breach and the injury; and (4) that the injury results in damages that the legal system can address.
A breach of the duty of care has no significance unless it causes injury that's why medical malpractice lawsuits are generally built on a legal concept known as "res ipsa loquitur." This law says that, in many instances certain injuries are obvious and evident that they are only explained by negligent actions.
Depending on the circumstances depending on the facts, the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim or their legal representative) or their attorney may decide to file the case in federal or state court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state courts, however under certain circumstances, a medical malpractice case can be filed in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
The procedure that is performed on the wrong site is not common but it can be considered medical malpractice when the procedure is performed in the wrong location of your body. This type of mistake is usually caused by a lack of communication between the surgical team or production pressures that lead to a surgeon having multiple surgeries at once. In these cases the surgeon isn't solely responsible for a misplaced operation because of a legal rule known as "res ipsa locquitur", which states that the result is a matter of fact 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 family members are left with hefty medical bills. It is important to consider these costs when calculating the financial costs of medical malpractice claims.
The majority of times surgeons are liable for surgical mistakes. They are accountable to prepare the patient for surgery, reviewing the medical records and chart of the patient, communicating with the rest of the medical team, and ensuring that the incision was made in the proper location. In some instances, an anesthesiologist or a hospital could be held accountable. Medical malpractice claims are generally filed in state courts, however, under certain circumstances, they can be transferred to federal courts.
