Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation

Malpractice litigation is a complex procedure. The degree to which the error constitutes malpractice depends on whether the patient can prove four legal elements that include a professional obligation breach of this duty; injury caused by the breach and tangible damages.

Plaintiffs must also demonstrate these elements with evidence such as expert testimony, depositions and discovery.

Incorrect diagnosis and failure to diagnose

The failure of a physician to accurately diagnose a disease or injury can result in grave complications, or even death. The misdiagnosis of a patient is a frequent cause of medical negligence. To prove negligence, a person or their lawyer must show that a skilled doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed an illness.

A misdiagnosis is not always malpractice. Even the most skilled and trained doctors make mistakes, so a claim of malpractice must be supported by other factors such as breach, proximate causality and actual injury. For example If a doctor does not properly sterilize their equipment prior to administering anesthesia and the patient develops an infection due to the infection, the doctor could be found to be negligent.

In the majority of cases, malpractice lawsuits 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 instances. A case may be brought before a federal court under certain circumstances. For instance, it may involve disputes over the statute of limitations or if the parties are of different citizenships. Some claims are settled by binding voluntary arbitration. This is a less formal process that involves professional decision makers. It is designed to minimize costs, expedite the legal proceedings, and eliminate the risk of overly generous 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 physician submitting a prescription in a wrong format or giving the patient the wrong dosage. These errors are usually avoidable. In certain circumstances the hospital or its staff, pharmacist or other health professionals may be held liable for the injuries of a patient who was prescribed the wrong dosage of medication.

A doctor might prescribe the wrong medication as a result of a misdiagnosis or simply not understanding the prescription correctly. A health care professional could also prescribe the wrong dosage because of an inability to communicate for instance, when the nurse reads the doctor's handwritten prescription incorrectly or the pharmacist is mistaken in filling the prescription. In other situations, a doctor could delay administering the correct medication to the patient, which could result in their condition becoming worse.

A person seeking compensation must prove, for the sake of winning a malpractice claim, that the medical professional breached their standards of practice and that their injuries were directly caused by the negligence. This requires the testimony of a medical expert. Furthermore, a medical negligence claim must establish the extent of the victim's injuries and the damages they suffered because of the negligence. This includes the cost of treatment as well as any lost wage. In general, the greater a loss is then, the more valuable the claim will be.

The wrong procedure

This kind of incident is not unusual. It might seem impossible for medical professionals to carry out the wrong procedure on patients, however, it is a reality. The surgeon who commits this error can be found accountable for malpractice. If a patient is injured because of a surgical error may be held accountable for any negligence that occurred during the procedure.

Any health care professional who is accused of misconduct must prove that the patient was injured by a specific action or inaction. To establish this, the legal team of the patient must prove: (1) that the doctor had a responsibility to provide care or treat the patient; (2) that he violated his duty; (3) that a causal connection exists between the breach and the injury; and (4) the injury causes damages that the legal system can address.

A breach of the duty of care is meaningless unless it causes injury which is the reason medical malpractice claims are usually made based on a law known as "res ipsa loquitur." This law says that, in a lot of instances certain injuries are obvious and recognizable that they can only be explained through negligent actions.

Depending on the facts depending on the facts, the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim, or their legal representative) or their lawyer could decide to file the case either in state or federal court. Most malpractice cases are filed in state court, but in certain situations medical malpractice lawsuits may be filed in federal district court.

Wrong Surgery

The wrong-site procedure is rare however, it could be a case of medical malpractice in the event that the procedure is carried out in the wrong area of your body. This kind of error is often caused by a lack of communication between members of a surgical team, or production pressure that leads to an individual surgeon being assigned multiple surgeries at once. In these instances the surgeon is not solely accountable for a mistaken-site procedure due to the legal principle of "res ipsa locquitur" which states that the result is a matter of fact and cannot be blamed on negligence.

When a patient is injured as a result of surgery done on the wrong location the patient may require additional procedures to correct issues that were caused by the mistake. This leads to costly medical expenses for patients and their families. This expense should be considered when calculating the financial consequences of medical malpractice claims.

The majority of times, surgeons are held responsible for surgical mistakes. They are accountable to prepare the patient for the procedure, as well as checking the medical record and chart of the patient, communicating with the medical staff, and ensuring that the incision was placed at the correct location. However, in some instances an anesthesiologist or a hospital could also be liable. Medical malpractice cases are typically filed in state courts, but in certain situations, they can be transferred to federal court.
