Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
The process of bringing a malpractice lawsuit is a complex procedure. The question of whether or not an error is considered to be malpractice is dependent on whether the patient can establish four legal elements which include professional duty breach of this duty; harm resulted from the breach and the possibility of quantifiable damages.
Plaintiffs must also prove these elements through evidence like expert testimony, depositions, and discovery.
Incorrect diagnosis and inability to diagnose
Failure to diagnose an illness or injury accurately could lead to serious complications, or even death. Misdiagnosis is a common reason for medical malpractice. To prove negligence, a patient or their lawyer must show that a skilled doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed a condition.
It is not always a case of an error, but. Even highly trained and experienced doctors make mistakes. Therefore, the claim of malpractice must be supported by other factors such as breach, proximate causation, and actual injury. For instance when a doctor fails to properly clean their equipment prior the time they administer anesthesia to a patient and they develop an infection due to the infection the doctor could be guilty of malpractice.
In the majority of instances, lawsuits claiming malpractice will be filed in the state trial court where the alleged error occurred. Federal courts can, however, have jurisdiction in certain circumstances. For instance, a lawsuit may be brought in federal court if there is the interpretation of the time limit or if there is a substantial variety of citizenship among the parties involved in the case. Some claims can be settled through voluntary binding arbitration. This is a less-formal process that involves professional decision makers. It is designed to lower expenses, speed up the legal proceedings, and eliminate the risk associated with overly generous juries. However, arbitration isn't available for all malpractice claims.
The wrong dosage of medication
Medication errors, also known as medication mistakes, are one of the most common causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. They can involve a physician writing a prescription incorrectly or giving the wrong dosage to a patient. These errors are usually avoidable. According to the circumstances, a hospital, its staff, a pharmacist or other health care professionals may be held liable for the injuries of patients who were given the wrong drug dosage.
A doctor could prescribe the incorrect medication to a patient because of an inaccurate diagnosis or simply because he/she misreads the prescription. A health care provider can also give the wrong dosage due to a failure in communication. For example the nurse might take a doctor's prescription and read it incorrectly or a pharmacist may make a mistake when filling the prescription. In other cases doctors may delay the administration of the correct medication to the patient, resulting in their condition becoming worse.
To win a malpractice lawsuit, a victim must prove that the medical professional acted in breach of their duty of care and that the negligence directly caused their injuries. This requires testimony from a medical expert. A medical malpractice case must prove the severity and the damages caused by the victim's injuries. This includes the cost of treatment as well as any lost wage. The more money you lose the greater the value of the claim.
Unskillful Procedure
This type of incident is not unusual. It may seem like a challenge for medical professionals to carry out the wrong procedure on patients, however, it happens. The surgeon who makes this mistake could be held liable for malpractice. A patient who is injured because of an error during surgery may be held liable for any negligence that occurred during the procedure.
Any health care professional who is alleged to be negligent must show that the patient was harmed through a specific act or omission to act. To prove this, the legal team representing the patient must demonstrate: (1) that the doctor was legally obligated to provide care or treat the patient; (2) that he breached that duty; (3) that a causal connection exists between the negligence and injury and (4) the injury results in damages the legal system could address.
A breach of the duty of care is meaningless unless it causes injury, that's why medical malpractice lawsuits are generally based on a legal doctrine known as "res ipsa loquitur." This law states that, in a majority of cases, certain injuries are so obvious and recognizable that they can only be explained through negligent acts.
Based on the circumstances, the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim, or their legal representative) or their lawyer could choose to file in state or federal court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state court. However, in certain situations, a medical malpractice lawsuit could be filed in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
Surgery performed on the wrong site is a very rare error, but it may be considered medical malpractice lawyers when the procedure is performed on the wrong area of the body. This type of mistake is usually caused by a lack of communication between the surgical team, or by production pressures that result in surgeons being assigned multiple surgeries at once. In these instances, the surgeon is not alone in his or her responsibility for an incorrect-site procedure due to an underlying legal principle referred to as "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the consequence of the error speaks for itself and cannot be traced to negligence.
If a patient is injured during surgery that is performed on the wrong site and is injured, they may require additional procedures to repair issues that were caused by the surgical mistake. This could result in expensive medical bills for patients and their families. This expense should be considered when calculating the financial impact of medical malpractice lawsuits.
Surgeons are typically held accountable for surgical errors since they are the ones who are responsible for properly prepping for the operation, double-checking the patient's chart and medical records, coordinating effectively with the other members of the medical team, and making sure that the incision is done at the correct place. In some cases, a hospital or anesthesiologist could also be held accountable. Medical malpractice cases are usually filed in state courts, but they may be transferred under certain circumstances to federal court.
