Malpractice Litigation

The process of bringing a lawsuit for malpractice is usually a long and complex process. It is necessary for the patient or a legally appointed representative to prove that the physician breached the obligation of care owed to them and that a repercussion resulted.

Many proposals were put forward to alter the rules that govern medical malpractice claims. The trial and jury system was replaced by an alternative that could cut costs and speed up settlements, eliminate juries that were too generous and also screen out frivolous claims.

Misdiagnosis

The misdiagnosis of a patient is among the most prevalent forms of medical malpractice. It occurs millions of times every year, and can result in devastating results, such as the need for unnecessary surgery, long hospital stays, or unnecessarily invasive treatment. In some cases the wrong diagnosis can result in death.

To prove malpractice, it must be demonstrated that the doctor was bound by a duty to the patient and violated this obligation by not diagnosing the condition or injury correctly. In the majority of instances, proving the doctor's inability to adhere to the standards of care requires an expert opinion, such as from an expert medical professional with extensive knowledge about the type of illness at play in the case. The expert must also demonstrate that the physician failed to properly add the condition to his or her list of differential diagnosis by using methods like asking further questions, observing further or requesting further tests as part of the diagnostic procedure.

A plaintiff must also demonstrate that the injuries resulting from the misdiagnosis resulted directly from the breach of duty. This typically means establishing actual damages, including past and future medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, shortened life expectancy, and other losses. The victim must also file the suit within the statute of limitations that are typically two or three years after the injury occurred.

Wrong Procedure

It can be shocking to learn, but surgeons perform the wrong procedure on a patient around 20 times per week. These surgical errors typically result in patients suffering unanticipated medical bills and suffering and pain. A medical malpractice lawyer can assist you in obtaining the compensation you're due for your losses.

A successful malpractice lawsuit requires a strong claim of negligence on the part of the physician in the dispute. A malpractice attorney claim caused by a surgical mistake must prove that the defendant's actions deviated from the standard of care that would have been provided by doctors who have similar training in similar situations. This can be done through expert testimony and an extensive examination of medical records.

During the discovery phase where your attorney will exchange files with the defense team so that they can be used in your case. These documents could include medical and surgical documents, lab reports and evidence of your injury. Your lawyer will interview witnesses to gather information on your case. During the interview with a witness, the opposing attorney will ask you questions under swearing. This is known as a deposition.

Wrong-site surgeries are a rare and serious form of malpractice. This kind of malpractice typically results from an error made by an individual doctor who does not adhere to the surgical recommendations or a patient's medical history. In this instance it is possible to prove that negligence took place. However, determining who should be held liable is not always easy.

Wrong Drugs

Every year, more than one million Americans are injured or have their health conditions worsened because of drug errors. Doctors must exercise extreme care when prescribing medicines, to ensure that they are safe and appropriate for the patient. If the doctor deviates from the medical standard of care and you suffer a severe injury as the result, it could be a case of malpractice.

Sometimes the error doesn't occur at the doctor's office but in the hospital. For instance, a nurse might mistakenly interpret a prescription, and then administer the wrong dosage or medication. A pharmacy could also make an error in filling the incorrect medication or a drug with harmful ingredients.

Emergency Room Errors

Emergency rooms are high-stress, high-pressure environments which can be hazardous for patients. Doctors are under pressure to take care of as many patients as they can. They must also conduct tests quickly, interact with themselves and write and read reports and provide high-quality patient care. This can lead to errors that can have devastating consequences.

ER errors can include anything from misdiagnosis to premature discharging of a patient. Most ER errors result from an absence of medical history, a misinterpretation of test results or interpretation or failure to consult with specialists. ER staff may also make mistakes when communicating with each other or with patients, such as not mentioning a patient's allergies or adverse health conditions or giving incorrect instructions to nurses.

To be able to bring a malpractice lawsuit, the plaintiff first has to establish that the medical professional did not follow standard of care. The standard of care is the level of care that an honest medical professional with the same education and experience would have offered in similar circumstances. The plaintiff must demonstrate that negligence was the cause for their injury and damages. A successful plaintiff can seek compensation for future and past medical bills as well as physical suffering and pain loss of earnings, earning capacity and funeral expenses when appropriate.
