Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
The process of bringing a malpractice lawsuit is a complex procedure. The degree to which an error is considered to be malpractice is dependent on whether the patient is able to prove four legal elements such as a professional duty and breach of this duty; harm resulting from the breach; and tangible damages.
Plaintiffs must also demonstrate these elements with evidence like expert testimony, depositions, or discovery.
Incorrect diagnosis and failure to diagnose
Failure to diagnose an illness or injury accurately can cause serious complications, or death. Many medical malpractice cases result from incorrect diagnosis. To prove negligence, a patient or their lawyer must prove that an experienced doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed the condition.
Misdiagnosis does not always constitute malpractice. Even highly skilled and experienced doctors make mistakes, and a claim of malpractice must be supported by other elements such as breach, proximate cause and actual injury. If a doctor fails to sterilize his equipment prior the time he administers anesthesia, and the patient is infected due to this, the doctor may be guilty.
The majority of lawsuits involving malpractice are filed in state trial courts, where the alleged misconduct occurred. However, federal courts might be able to handle cases in certain circumstances. A claim may be filed before federal court in certain circumstances. For instance it could involve the issue of the statute of limitations or if the parties are of different citizenships. In other cases, certain claims are resolved through binding arbitration that is voluntary. This is a less-formal process that involves professional decision makers. It is designed to minimize costs, expedite the legal process, and remove the risks associated with generous juries. Arbitration is not available in all cases of misconduct.
Dosage for a drug that is not correct
Medication errors--also called medication mistakes--are one of the most frequent causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. They can be the result of a doctor writing a prescription that is not correct or giving the wrong dosage to patients. These errors are typically preventable. In the event of an incident the pharmacy, hospital or other health care provider could be held responsible for the injuries resulting from an individual who took the wrong dose of a drug.
A doctor may prescribe the wrong medication to a patient because of an incorrect diagnosis or simply due to a misreading of the prescription. A health professional can also prescribe the wrong dosage due to a lapse in communication. For example nurses may not read a doctor's prescription correctly or a pharmacist may make a mistake when filling the prescription. In other instances the doctor could delay giving the correct medication, which can cause the patient's condition to getting worse.
To prevail in a malpractice lawsuit, a victim must show that the medical professional did not meet their standards of care and that the negligence directly contributed to their injuries. This requires medical experts to testify. A medical malpractice case also must establish the extent and the damages caused by the victim's injuries. This includes the costs of a person's treatment and any wages lost. The more money you lose the greater the value of the claim.
Incorrect Procedure
It's not likely that medical professionals would perform the wrong procedure on a patient, but this type of incident does occur. The surgeon who commits this mistake could be held to be liable for malpractice. However those who are injured by a surgical mistake may also be held liable for any negligence that occurred along the process.
Any health professional who is alleged to be negligent must prove that the patient was hurt due to a specific act or omission to act. To establish this, the patient's legal team must prove that (1) the doctor was in an obligation to provide care or treatment; (2) that the doctor breached the duty of care; (3) that there is a direct and causal connection between the breach and the injury and (4) that the injury results in damages which the legal system has the power to be able to address.
A breach of the duty of care has no significance unless it causes injury this is why medical malpractice attorney lawsuits are generally built on a legal concept known as "res ipsa loquitur." This law says that, in a lot of instances certain injuries are obvious and recognizable that they are only explained by negligent actions.
Based on the facts of the situation, the plaintiff (the patient or their legally appointed representative) or their lawyer may present the claim to federal or state court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state courts, however in certain circumstances, a medical malpractice lawsuit can be brought in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
The wrong-site surgery is a common error, but it may be considered medical negligence if the procedure is performed on the wrong side of the body. This kind of error is usually caused by a lack of communication between the surgical team, or due to production pressures that lead to surgeons being assigned several surgeries to perform at the same time. In these cases the surgeon is not solely responsible for a wrong-site procedure because of a legal principle known as "res ipsa locquitur" which states that the result is a matter of fact and cannot be blamed on negligence.
If someone is injured during a wrong-site procedure and is injured, they may require additional procedures in order to correct problems that were made worse by the error. Patients and their families are left with high medical bills. It is important to keep these costs in mind when calculating the financial impact of medical malpractice lawsuits.
Most often surgeons are liable for surgical errors. They are accountable in preparing the patient prior to surgery, reviewing the medical records and chart of the patient, coordinating with the medical staff, and making sure that the incision was placed in the proper location. In some instances hospitals or anesthesiologists can also be held liable. Medical malpractice cases are usually filed in state courts, but can be transferred under certain circumstances to federal court.
