Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
The legal process for defending malpractice is a complex process. If a person can prove four elements, it will decide whether or not the error is malpractice law firm. These are professional obligation and a breach of that obligation; a repercussion from the breach; and measurable damage.
Plaintiffs must also demonstrate these elements with evidence like expert testimony, depositions, and discovery.
Undiagnosed or Incorrectly Diagnosed
Failure to identify an injury or illness in a timely manner can lead to serious complications, or even death. Many medical malpractice cases involve mistaken diagnosis. To prove negligence the patient or their attorney must demonstrate that a competent doctor in similar circumstances and in the same field would not have missed the diagnosis.
A misdiagnosis is not always negligence. Even highly-trained and experienced doctors make mistakes. Therefore, a claim of malpractice must be supported with other elements such as breach, proximate cause and actual injury. If a doctor does not sterilize his equipment before administering anesthesia and the patient becomes infected as a result of this, the doctor may be found to be negligent.
In the majority of instances, lawsuits claiming malpractice will be filed in the state trial court where the alleged misconduct occurred. Federal courts could, however, have jurisdiction in certain circumstances. For example, a claim could be filed in federal court if there is an issue regarding the statute of limitations or when there is a substantial diversity of citizenship of the parties in the case. Additionally, some cases are settled through voluntary binding arbitration. This is a less formal process that involves professional decision makers. It is designed to reduce costs, speed up legal process, and remove the risk that comes with generous juries. Arbitration is not available in all cases of misconduct.
The wrong dosage of medication
Medication errors, also known as medication mistakes, are one of the most frequent causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. These errors are caused by a doctor who has submitted prescriptions in a wrong format or giving the patient the incorrect dosage. These errors are generally preventable. According to the situation an individual pharmacy, hospital or other health care provider could be held responsible for the injuries resulting from a patient who was given the wrong dose of a drug.
A doctor might prescribe the wrong medication as a result of a misdiagnosis or by simply misreading the prescription. A health care provider may also prescribe the wrong dosage because of an issue with communication for instance, when nurses read a doctor's handwritten script incorrectly or the pharmacist makes a mistake in filling the prescription. In other instances, the physician may delay the administration of the correct medication, which could lead to the patient's condition worsening.
To prevail in an action for malpractice, a victim must show that the medical professional acted in breach of their duty of care and that the negligence directly contributed to their injuries. This requires medical experts to be present. A medical malpractice case must establish the extent and damage of the victim's injuries. This includes the cost of treatment as well as any lost wages. In general, the greater a loss is in the greater value of the claim will be.
Unskillful Procedure
It might seem absurd for medical professionals to perform the incorrect procedure on a patient but this type of mishap occurs. The surgeon who commits this kind of error could be held responsible for malpractice. However patients who are injured by a surgical mistake could also be held accountable for any negligence that occurred on the process.
Any health care professional who is alleged to be negligent must prove that the patient was hurt due to a specific act or failure to act. To establish this, the legal team of the patient has to prove: (1) that the doctor had a responsibility to care for or treat the patient; (2) that he violated his duty; (3) that a causal link exists between the breach and injury; and (4) the injury results in damages which the legal system may address.
A breach of the duty of care has no significance unless it causes injury, which is why medical malpractice claims are usually built on a legal concept known as "res ipsa loquitur." This law states that, in the majority of cases certain injuries are evident and obvious that they can only be explained through negligence.
Based on the facts of the case, the plaintiff (the patient or their legally appointed representative) or their lawyer may present the claim to state or federal court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state court, but under certain circumstances medical malpractice lawsuits may be filed in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
A wrong-site procedure is a rare mistake, but it could be considered medical malpractice if the procedure is performed on the wrong part of the body. This type of error is usually the result of miscommunication between members of a surgical team, or production pressure that results in the surgeon being assigned multiple surgeries at the same time. In these cases, the surgeon is not the only one with responsibility for a surgical error that is not performed correctly since there is the legal principle known as "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the effect of the error is evident and can only be attributed to negligence.
If someone is injured during a wrong-site procedure, he or her may require additional procedures in order to correct problems that were aggravated by the error. Patients and their families are left with expensive medical bills. It is important to keep these costs in mind when calculating the financial costs of medical malpractice claims.
Most often surgeons are held accountable for surgical mistakes. They are responsible in preparing the patient for the procedure, examining the medical records and charts of the patient, coordinating with the rest of the medical staff, and ensuring that the incision was placed at the correct location. In some cases the hospital or anesthesiologist may also be held responsible. Medical malpractice claims are generally filed in state courts, but may be transferred in certain circumstances to federal court.
