Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
The legal process for defending malpractice is a complex procedure. The question of whether or not the error constitutes malpractice depends on the ability of the patient to establish four legal elements: a professional duty and breach of this duty; harm resulted from the breach and quantifiable damages.
Plaintiffs must prove these elements by presenting evidence such as expert testimony, depositions, or discovery.
Misdiagnosis and Failure to Diagnose
The failure of a physician to accurately diagnose an illness or injury could result in serious complications or even death. Many medical malpractice cases involve incorrect diagnosis. To establish negligence, a patient or their lawyer needs to prove that a qualified doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed the condition.
Every misdiagnosis can be considered to be negligence, but. Even highly-trained and experienced doctors can make errors. Therefore, a claim of malpractice must be backed by other elements such as breach, proximate cause or actual injury. For instance the case where a physician is not careful to sterilize their equipment before administering anesthesia to a patient and they develop an infection due to the infection the doctor may be found to be negligent.
Lawsuits that claim malpractice are usually filed in state trial courts where the alleged malpractice occurred. However, federal courts could be able to handle cases in certain circumstances. For instance, a case may be brought in federal court if it involves an issue regarding the time limit or when there is a significant variation in the citizenship of the parties to the case. Alternatively, some claims are resolved through binding arbitration that is voluntary. This is a less formal procedure that is governed by professional decision makers. It is designed to minimize costs, expedite the legal process, and reduce the risks associated with generous juries. However, arbitration is not accessible for all claims of malpractice.
Dosage for a drug that is not correct
Medication errors, also referred as medication mistakes are among the main causes of medical malpractice suits. They can involve a physician writing a prescription incorrectly or delivering the wrong dose to patients. These errors are usually avoidable. Based on the circumstances the pharmacy, hospital or other health care providers could be held accountable for the injuries resulting from patients who were given the wrong dosage of a drug.
A doctor may prescribe the incorrect medication to a patient as a result of an incorrect diagnosis or simply because he/she misreads the prescription. A health care provider can also prescribe the wrong dosage due to a failure in communication. For example the nurse might take a doctor's prescription and read it incorrectly or a pharmacist might make a mistake when filling the prescription. In other cases, the physician may delay delivering the correct medication, which could lead to the patient's condition worsening.
To be successful in an action for malpractice, a victim must demonstrate that the medical professional acted in breach of their standard of care, and that the negligence directly contributed to the injuries. This requires medical experts to provide evidence. A medical malpractice case also must prove the extent and damages of the victim's injuries. This includes the cost of treatment and any wage loss. The more money you lose, the higher the value of the claim.
Unskillful Procedure
This kind of incident is not uncommon. It may seem impossible for medical professionals to perform the incorrect procedure on patients however, it happens. A surgeon who makes the mistake could be held liable for negligence. A patient who is injured as a result of an error in surgery could be held liable for any errors that occured during the procedure.
Any health professional who is accused of malpractice attorneys must show that the patient was hurt by a specific act or inaction. To establish this the legal counsel of the patient must prove that: (1) the doctor was under an obligation to provide treatment or treatment; (2) that the doctor breached the duty of care; (3) that there is a direct causal connection between the breach and the injury; and (4) that the injury causes damages that the legal system could address.
A breach of duty of care has no value unless it results in injury. This is the reason why medical malpractice lawsuit cases are typically based on the legal doctrine "res ipsa locquitur" which states that certain injuries are so obvious they can only be explained by negligence.
Based on the facts of the case, the plaintiff (the patient or their legally designated representative) or their attorney could bring the case in federal or state court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed with state courts, but in certain situations the medical negligence lawsuit can be brought to federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
A wrong-site procedure is a rare mistake, but it could be considered medical malpractice when the procedure is performed on the wrong part of the body. This type of error is typically caused by miscommunication between members of a surgical team or production pressure that leads to the surgeon being tasked with multiple surgeries at one time. In these situations the surgeon is not solely responsible for a wrong-site procedure due to the legal principle of "res ipsa locquitur" which states that the outcome speaks for itself and cannot be blamed on negligence.
If the patient is injured during an operation that was performed on the wrong site and is injured, they may require additional procedures in order to correct problems that were exacerbated by the error. Patients and their families are left with high medical bills. It is crucial to keep these costs in mind when calculating the financial impact of medical malpractice claims.
Surgeons are usually accountable for surgical errors because they are the ones who are accountable for prepping for the operation as well as double-checking the patient's charts and medical records, communicating effectively with other members of the medical team, and making sure that the incision is made on the correct site. In certain instances hospitals or anesthesiologists may also be held responsible. Medical malpractice claims are usually filed in state courts. However, under certain circumstances, they can be transferred to federal court.
