Malpractice claims in the United States are typically filed in state trial courts. Numerous legal tools, like depositions under oath, are utilized to gather evidence to support the case.
Duty of care
A doctor owes you the duty of care if you are in a relationship with a doctor. This is the case whether the doctor is treating you in a hospital, or in your home. However, there are certain circumstances where doctors can be responsible for malpractice even if there isn't the existence of a doctor-patient relationship.
A person who has a duty to care must behave in a manner that a reasonable person would do under the circumstances. For example, a motorist has a duty to be cautious when driving and not cause injuries to other people on the road. If the driver does not adhere to this obligation and results in an accident, they can be held liable for any injuries that result.
Doctors are obliged to care for their patients at all times. This includes situations where doctors aren't officially your doctor, for instance when you seek a doctor's advice in an elevator or outside of a restaurant. Good Samaritan laws often limit the duty to be a good Samaritan.
Medical professionals also have a responsibility of care to warn their patients about the dangers of certain procedures and treatments. Failure to do this is a violation of the duty of care of a doctor. A doctor could also violate their duty of care if they prescribe you a medication that interacts other medications you take.
Breach of duty
In general, doctors have obligations to their patients to provide their patients with medical treatment that is consistent with accepted standards of practice. This standard is established by the current laws and standards created by medical associations. When a doctor violates this duty they are committing negligence. A malpractice attorney will look over the evidence and determine whether there was a violation of the standard of care.
A doctor could violate their obligation of care in a variety ways. It's not just about whether doctors did something an average person wouldn't do in the same situation as well as things they ought to have done or not done. In most cases, it requires expert witness testimony to determine what the accepted medical standard of practice would have been.
A doctor could have violated their obligation if they prescribe the medication that is dangerously incompatible with another drug. This is a frequent error that could have serious health consequences.
But, simply proving that the breach of duty occurred is not enough to establish negligence. To be awarded damages, you need to prove a direct link between the breach of duty by the doctor and your injury or illness. This is known as causation. In some cases, it can be difficult to establish the link. A knowledgeable malpractice attorney will work hard to find the evidence required to establish the connection.
Causation
A malpractice claim is valid only if the plaintiff can prove that the defendant's negligence led to the injuries and losses. Proving medical negligence requires use of experts to prove the existence of a patient-provider relationship and that the service provider violated the acceptable standard of medical care. It is essential that a person's injury must be directly connected to the incident or omission that violated the standard of care. This is called causality or proxy causes.
It is vital to show that the lawyer's negligence led to significant negative consequences for you in the event of trying to prove legal malpractice. A lawsuit can be costly so you need to be able to prove that your losses are more than the cost of the litigation. The plaintiff has to also prove that the negligence resulted in real and tangible damage.
Most malpractice cases are subject to discovery that includes oral depositions. Your lawyer will represent your interests at these depositions. They will ask questions to experts on defense to challenge their findings, and to prove that the evidence supports the allegations. A medical malpractice lawyer with experience is essential for your case, as establishing the four elements, including duty breach, causation, and harm, can be a challenge and time consuming. Your lawyer knows each step in the process and will help you fulfill all requirements. The more steps you complete the higher your chance of winning.
Damages
The amount of money a patient receives in a malpractice case is based on the extent of their injury and the amount of money they require to cover medical bills as well as loss of income or other financial losses. In some instances, a plaintiff may also be awarded punitive damages to punish the doctor for their actions. These are extremely rare, as doctors must have acted with recklessness or intent to be awarded punitive damages.
The law requires that a person alleging medical malpractice prove four elements or legal requirements: (1) there was a duty of care on the part of the doctor; (2) the doctor breached this duty by deviating from the accepted standards of practice; (3) as a result of the doctor's breach the victim was injured; and (4) the injury is quantifiable in terms a monetary amount. The victim must present a lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitation which varies from state to state.
The law recognizes the fact that medical malpractice lawsuits can be complex and expensive to resolve, particularly when they are based on complex issues such as proximate cause or predictability. Its purpose is to offer victims the justice they need without allowing frivolous or unjust lawsuits to block courts. It also aims at reducing costs by insisting that all defendants share the responsibility for the success of a lawsuit (joint and multiple liability) while limiting the amount a plaintiff is able to receive if other defendants don't have funds to pay ("damage caps); and preventing doctors from practicing defensive medicine, which entails altering their treatment plans due to the danger of malpractice lawsuits.
