Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation involves a complex procedure. If a patient is able to prove four elements, it will be able to determine whether or not the mistake is malpractice. These are professional obligations in breach of this obligation; a repercussion from this breach; and measurable damage.
Plaintiffs must also prove the elements using evidence like expert testimony and depositions.
The wrong diagnosis and the inability to recognize
The failure of a physician to accurately diagnose an illness or injury could lead to grave complications, or even death. The misdiagnosis of a patient is a frequent reason for medical negligence. To prove negligence, a person or their lawyer must demonstrate that a seasoned doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed a condition.
Misdiagnosis does not always constitute malpractice. Even the most skilled and trained doctors make mistakes, and a claim of malpractice must be backed by other elements like breach, proximate cause and actual injury. For example, if a physician fails to properly clean their equipment prior the time they administer anesthesia, and the patient develops an infection as a result the doctor may be guilty of malpractice.
Legal actions claiming malpractice are usually filed in state trial courts where the alleged error occurred. Federal courts may, however, have jurisdiction in certain circumstances. For instance, a claim could be filed in federal court if there is the interpretation of the time limit for filing a claim or if there is a substantial variation in the citizenship of those involved in the dispute. Certain disputes are settled through arbitration that is binding and voluntary. This is a less-formal process which involves professionals who make the decisions. It is designed to cut costs, speed up legal process, and reduce the risk that comes with large juries. However, arbitration is not accessible for all malpractice claims.
Dosage for a drug that is not correct
Medication errors--also called medication mistakes--are one of the main causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. These errors could be caused by a doctor writing prescriptions in the wrong format or giving the patient the wrong dosage. These errors are often preventable. In the event of an incident an individual pharmacy, hospital or other health care providers could be held accountable for the injuries resulting from patients who were given the wrong dose of a drug.
A doctor might prescribe the wrong medication to a patient because of an inaccurate diagnosis or simply because they misread the prescription. A health care professional could also prescribe the wrong dosage due to an issue with communication for example, when a nurse reads a doctor's handwritten script incorrectly or the pharmacist makes an error in filling out the prescription. In other cases doctors may delay administering the correct medication to the patient, which could result in their condition becoming worse.
A plaintiff must prove for the sake of winning a malpractice lawsuit, that the medical professional violated their standard of practice and that their injuries were directly attributed to the negligence. This requires the testimony of a medical expert. Furthermore, a medical negligence case must demonstrate the extent of the injuries suffered by a victim and the damages they sustained because of the negligence. This includes the cost of treatment and any lost wages. In general, the greater a person's losses are in the greater value of the claim will be.
Unskillful Procedure
This kind of incident is not uncommon. It might seem impossible for medical professionals to carry out the wrong procedure on patients however, it is a reality. A surgeon who commits this mistake could be held liable for negligence. A patient who is injured because of an error during surgery can be held responsible for any error that occurred during the procedure.
A medical professional accused of negligence must prove that the patient was injured because of a specific act, or inability to act. To establish this, the legal team representing the patient must prove: (1) that the doctor had a responsibility to care for or treat the patient; (2) that he did not fulfill that duty; (3) that a causal connection exists between the negligence and injury and (4) the injury causes damages that the legal system can address.
A breach of the duty of care is meaningless unless it causes injury that's why medical malpractice lawsuits are generally built on a legal concept known as "res ipsa loquitur." This law states that, in many instances certain injuries are evident and obvious 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 may decide to file the claim in either state or federal court. The majority of malpractice attorney cases are filed in state courts, but in certain situations a medical negligence case can be brought to federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
Wrong-site surgery is a rare mistake, but it could be considered medical malpractice when the procedure is carried out on the wrong portion of the body. This kind of error is typically caused by miscommunication between the members of a surgical team, or production pressure that results in the surgeon being tasked with multiple surgeries at one time. In these cases the surgeon isn't solely responsible for his or her responsibility for a surgical error that is not performed correctly since there is a legal principle called "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the effect of the error is evident and cannot be attributed to negligence.
If the patient is injured during an incorrect procedure, he or her may need additional procedures to correct problems that were made worse by the mistake. Patients and their families are left with costly medical bills. This expense should be taken into consideration when calculating the financial consequences of medical malpractice claims.
Surgeons are usually held liable for surgical errors as they are the ones who are accountable for making preparations for the operation by double-checking patient's chart and medical records, coordinating effectively with the other members of the medical team, and making sure that the incision has been placed at the right place. In some cases an anesthesiologist or hospital may also be held responsible. Medical malpractice claims are generally filed in state court however, they can be transferred under certain circumstances to federal court.
