Malpractice Litigation

The process of bringing a lawsuit for malpractice is usually a long and complex process. It is the responsibility of the patient or an legally appointed representative to show that the doctor did not fulfill the duty of care that was owed to them, and that an injury resulted.

Many proposals were put forward to change the lawful rules governing medical malpractice claims. The trial and jury system was replaced with an alternative that would cut costs, speed up settlements, eliminate excessively generous juries and also screen out frivolous claims.

Undiagnosed

Medical malpractice is usually caused by mistaken diagnosis. It happens millions of times every year, and can result in devastating consequences, including the need for unneeded surgery, long hospital stays, and unnecessarily aggressive treatment. In some cases an error in diagnosis could result in death.

To establish malpractice attorney, the doctor must have breached his obligation to the patient by not diagnosing an illness or injury correctly. In the majority of instances, proving that the doctor's failure to live up to the standard of care requires an expert opinion, such as from a medical professional who is knowledgeable about the type of illness at play in the instance. The expert must also show that the doctor did not adequately add the disease to the list of differential diagnosis using methods like asking further questions, observing further or requesting further tests in the diagnostic process.

A plaintiff must also show that the injuries resulting from the misdiagnosis were the direct result of the breach of duty. This typically involves proving actual damages, such as past or future medical expenses, loss of income in the form of pain and discomfort, shorter life spans and other damages. The plaintiff must also file the suit within the statute of limitations which usually are two or three years after the injury was caused.

Unskillful Procedure

It's shocking to hear that surgeons make the wrong decision on a patient around 20 times per week. These surgical errors typically result in patients suffering unanticipated medical bills and suffering and pain. An experienced medical malpractice lawyer can help you obtain the compensation you deserve for your losses.

A successful malpractice lawsuit demands an enviable claim of negligence on the part of the physician in the case. A claim of negligence due to a surgical error must show that the defendant's course of procedure was in violation of the standard of care that is expected to be provided by similarly skilled physicians in similar circumstances. This can be accomplished through expert testimony and a thorough review of medical records.

During the discovery process, your attorney and the defense team will share relevant documents to use in your case. These documents could include medical and surgical records, lab reports and documentation of your injuries. Your lawyer will speak with witnesses to collect information about your case. During the interview with the witness, the opposing attorney will be able to ask you questions under the oath. This is known as a deposition.

The wrong-site procedure is a very rare but very serious form of malpractice. This kind of malpractice typically is the result of a doctor who fails to follow the surgical recommendation or a patient's medical history. In this scenario it is simple to establish the negligence. It is not always easy to determine the surgeon who should be held responsible.

Wrong Drugs

Drug-related errors can cause injuries or worsening health issues in more than a half a million Americans every year. Doctors must exercise extreme care when prescribing medicines to ensure that they are safe and suitable for the patient. If you sustain serious injuries because of the doctor's deviations from the standard medical treatment this could be considered malpractice.

Sometimes, the error doesn't happen in the doctor's office and instead occurs at the hospital.

Emergency Room Errors

Emergency rooms are high-stress, high-pressure environments that pose a risk to patients. Doctors are pressured to treat as many patients as they can. They must also conduct tests quickly, communicate among themselves and write and read reports while also providing high-quality patient treatment. However, these hectic environments can create mistakes that could result in devastating consequences.

ER errors can range from misdiagnosis to premature discharge of a patient. The most frequent causes of ER errors are inadequate medical history, misinterpretation of test results and a failure to consult specialists. ER staff can be unable to communicate with one another and with patients, such as not communicating a patient's symptoms of allergies, health issues or other conditions or giving incorrect instructions.

To have grounds for a malpractice lawsuit, the plaintiff first has to demonstrate that the medical professional acted in violation of standard care. The standard of care is defined as the degree of care a reasonable medical professional would provide in similar circumstances. The plaintiff is then required to show that negligence caused the injury and resulting damages. A successful plaintiff can seek compensation for past or future medical bills as well as pain and suffering, lost earnings and earning potential and funeral costs, if applicable.
