Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys have a fiduciary obligation with their clients and are required to behave with diligence, care and skill. However, just like any other professional attorneys make mistakes.
Not all mistakes made by attorneys are malpractice. To prove legal malpractice, an aggrieved person must demonstrate the breach of duty, duty, causation and damages. Let's take a look at each of these elements.
Duty-Free
Doctors and medical professionals take an oath to use their skills and experience to cure patients, not causing further harm. Duty of care is the basis for patients' right to compensation for injuries caused by medical malpractice. Your attorney can determine if your doctor's actions violated the duty of care and if those breaches resulted in your injury or illness.
To establish a duty of care, your lawyer must to prove that a medical professional had an legal relationship with you in which they were bound by a fiduciary duty to act with a reasonable level of skill and care. The proof of this relationship may require evidence such as the records of your doctor-patient, eyewitness statements and expert testimony from doctors who have similar experiences, education and training.
Your lawyer will also have to prove that the medical professional breached their duty of care by not adhering to the accepted standards of care in their area of expertise. This is commonly called negligence. Your lawyer will assess what the defendant did with what a reasonable person would do in a similar situation.
Your lawyer must also demonstrate that the breach of the defendant's duty directly contributed to your loss or injury. This is referred to as causation, and your attorney will rely on evidence like your doctor-patient records, witness statements and expert testimony to prove that the defendant's failure to adhere to the standards of care in your case was a direct cause of your loss or injury.
Breach
A doctor has a duty to patients of care that conform to the highest standards of medical professionalism. If a physician fails to meet these standards and the failure results in injury, then medical malpractice and negligence could occur. Expert testimonials from medical professionals who have similar training, certifications as well as experience and qualifications can help determine the quality of care in any given situation. Federal and state laws and institute policies can also be used to determine what doctors are required to do for certain types of patients.
To prevail in a malpractice lawsuit, it must be shown that the doctor violated his or her duty of care and that this breach was the direct cause of injury. This is known in legal terms as the causation element, and it is crucial that it be established. For example, if a broken arm requires an xray, the doctor has to properly set the arm and then place it in a cast for proper healing. If the doctor was unable to perform this task and the patient was left with a permanent loss of use of the arm, then malpractice could have occurred.
Causation
Legal malpractice claims are based on the evidence that the lawyer made errors that resulted in financial losses for the client. For instance the lawyer does not file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations, resulting in the case being lost forever, the injured party could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
It's important to know that not all errors made by attorneys constitute malpractice. Mistakes in strategy and planning aren't usually considered to be a violation of the law and lawyers have a lot of latitude to make judgement calls so long as they are reasonable.
The law also gives attorneys a lot of discretion to conduct a discovery process on behalf of a client, so long as the action was not unreasonable or negligent. Legal malpractice can be caused by not obtaining crucial documents or information, such as medical reports or witness statements. Other examples of malpractice include a failure to add certain claims or defendants for example, like forgetting to file a survival count in a wrongful death case or the continual and persistent failure to communicate with clients.
It is also important to remember that it has to be proven that, had it not been the negligence of the lawyer, the plaintiff would have won the underlying case. The claim of the plaintiff for malpractice is deemed invalid if it's not proved. This requirement makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. For this reason, it's crucial to hire an experienced attorney to represent you.
Damages
A plaintiff must show that the lawyer's actions led to actual financial losses to win a legal malpractice lawsuit. This has to be demonstrated in a lawsuit through evidence like expert testimony, correspondence between client and attorney as well as billing records and other documentation. A plaintiff must also prove that a reasonable attorney could have prevented the harm caused by the negligence of the lawyer. This is referred to as the proximate cause.
The causes of malpractice vary. Some of the most common mistakes include: not meeting a deadline or statute of limitations; failing to conduct a conflict check on an instance; applying the law improperly to a client's circumstances; and breaching a fiduciary obligation (i.e. mixing funds from a trust account with the attorney's personal accounts, mishandling a case and failing to communicate with the client are all examples of malpractice.
In most medical malpractice cases the plaintiff seeks compensatory damages. These compensate the victim for expenses out of pocket and losses, such as hospital and medical bills, the cost of equipment needed to aid in healing, as well as lost wages. Victims can also claim non-economic damages like discomfort and pain or loss of enjoyment in their lives, as well as emotional distress.
In a lot of legal malpractice cases there are cases for punitive and compensatory damages. The former compensates the victim for losses caused by the negligence of the attorney while the latter is designed to discourage future malpractice on the defendant's part.
