Physicians fear malpractice lawsuits as an actual threat. They can increase insurance costs for physicians and change the medical practice.
In general doctors owe their patients the obligation to adhere to accepted medical practices without deviation or exclusion. This is known as the standard of care.
To successfully to sue a doctor for negligence, the patient must be able to prove each of the following legal elements by a preponderance of evidence: breach of duty; breach of obligation; causation; damages.
Duty of Care
The primary element in a medical malpractice case is that the victim was owed a duty by a doctor that was violated. As opposed to other types cases medical malpractice claims usually require the existence of an established relationship between the doctor and patient. This is established through things like a doctor's records and telephone consultations. Generally, physicians who treat patients must follow the standards that are accepted in their profession and practice.
Doctors could be held accountable for the negligence or incompetence of their staff, for example, assistants or interns. Furthermore, they can be held liable for the actions of emergency medical personnel under their supervision.
The plaintiff is then required to prove that the defendant did not meet the standard care under the circumstances. This is a fact that can be demonstrated through expert testimony on acceptable medical practices and the defendant's inability to follow these standards. The other element is that the breach directly affected the patient. To prove that you have committed a crime the lawyer you hire to prove that the breach of duty by the defendant directly caused your injury or death of your loved one. This is referred to as proximate cause. For instance, if an alleged negligent treatment wouldn't have had a negative impact on your health irrespective of whether it was performed or not, you won't be able to recover damages for any injuries or deaths that were allegedly caused by the physician's conduct.
Breach of Duty
A doctor who fails to fulfill their duty of care towards the client may be held accountable for their negligence. To win a medical negligence lawsuit the victim must prove four elements: that there was a duty to care, that the physician breached the obligation, that the breach resulted in injuries, and then the injury caused damage. The first aspect of a medical malpractice lawsuit centers around the standard of care, which is determined by expert testimony. The standard of care is what a "reasonably prudent" doctor would do under similar or identical circumstances.
The physician's breach of this obligation occurs when he or she deviates from the standard of care while giving treatment to the patient. If a physician breaks the arm of a patient, they might fail to cast the right way. The physician's failure to perform this obligation causes the broken part to heal improperly, which results in the complete or partial loss of use and subsequent monetary damages.
In the majority of instances, medical malpractice lawyer malpractice lawsuits are filed with state trial courts. However in certain circumstances federal courts may also take on these cases. Each of the 94 federal district courts in the United States has a judge-jury panel that handles medical malpractice cases. A majority of states have a system of specialized state courts that handle these cases, but with different rules for court procedure than federal district courts.
Causation
A patient may be entitled compensation for the damages caused if a physician fails to fulfill their obligation to not cause harm. A medical malpractice lawsuit could occur when a physician opts to carry out a procedure that is associated with risks and the patient would not have opted out of the procedure had they been fully aware of all potential consequences.
The plaintiff in a medical malpractice lawsuit must prove that the physician failed to follow accepted standards of practice, that the doctor's negligence was a direct cause of the illness or injury the patient was suffering from and that the ailment would not have occurred but due to the negligence of the doctor. The burden of proof, known as "preponderance" of the evidence, is less stringent than "beyond reasonable doubt" required to convict criminal defendants.
Medical malpractice lawsuits typically include expert witnesses and lengthy pretrial discovery procedures. Whether the case is settled or goes to trial, attorneys on both sides invest substantial time and resources in preparation for the issue. This is why malpractice lawsuits can be so expensive for both the plaintiff and physician involved. It is one of the primary reasons that doctors and health care groups support efforts to reform the tort laws in the United States.
Damages
In the event of medical negligence, victims can recover compensatory and punitive damages. Compensation damages compensate victims for monetary losses and expenses resulted from the negligence of the doctor, such as loss of income or the expense of future medical treatment. Non-economic damages can include compensation for mental and physical stress.
Medical malpractice lawsuits are typically filed in a state court of trial. However, there are situations where a lawsuit could be filed in federal court. It's usually the case when doctors are employed by a federally funded clinic such as the Veterans Administration, or when the doctor is from other country, but practices in the United States as part of an extraterritorial treaty.
Medical malpractice lawsuits are mostly adversarial and require extensive legal discovery. This can include written interrogatories and depositions as well as requests for documents. Victims of alleged medical negligence will also have to bear the stress of an open jury trial and could risk being rejected by a judge, or dismissed by a jury.
In order to win a medical negligence claim, you must prove that the error or negligence of a medical professional caused your injury. The harm must be serious enough that a financial award would substantially make up for your financial losses as well as emotional pain. New York medical malpractice law also has specific damage caps, as well as limitations on the amount the patient could receive should they be successful in filing a claim.
