Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation is a complex procedure. If a patient is able to prove four elements, it will determine whether or not the mistake is malpractice. These are professional obligation and a breach of that duty; a loss resulting from this breach; and measurable damages.
Plaintiffs must also prove the elements using evidence such as expert testimony and depositions.
Incorrect diagnosis and inability to diagnose
Failure to identify an illness or injury accurately could lead to serious complications, or even death. A lot of medical malpractice cases involve incorrect diagnosis. To prove negligence the patient or their lawyer must demonstrate that a competent doctor in similar circumstances and in the same area would not have misdiagnosed the condition.
Misdiagnosis doesn't always mean malpractice. Even highly experienced and trained doctors make mistakes. Therefore, any claim for malpractice must be supported with other elements, such as breach, proximate reason and actual injury. For example, if a physician does not take the time to sterilize their equipment before administering anesthesia and the patient develops an infection as a result, the doctor could be guilty of malpractice.
The majority of lawsuits involving malpractice are filed in state trial courts, where the alleged error occurred. However, federal courts might have jurisdiction under limited circumstances. A case can be brought before a federal court in certain circumstances. For instance it could involve an issue regarding the statute of limitations or if the parties are of different nationalities. Certain disputes are settled through arbitral arbitration, which is a binding process. This is a non-formal procedure which involves professionals who make the decisions. It is designed to lower expenses, speed up the legal process, and reduce the risks associated with large juries. However, arbitration isn't accessible for all malpractice claims.
Dosage for a drug that is not correct
Medication errors--also called medication mistakes--are one of the most common causes of medical malpractice settlement lawsuits. These errors could be caused by a doctor writing a prescription in a wrong format or giving the patient the incorrect dosage. These errors are usually avoidable. Depending on the circumstances the hospital or its staff, a pharmacist or other health care provider could be held accountable for the injuries of a patient who was given the wrong dosage of medication.
A doctor may prescribe the wrong drug because of a misdiagnosis or by simply failing to read the prescription. A health professional could also prescribe the wrong dosage because of an inability to communicate like when the nurse reads the doctor's handwritten script in error or the pharmacist makes a mistake in filling the prescription. In other cases the doctor might delay the administration of the correct medication, which could cause the patient's condition to getting worse.
To win a malpractice case, the victim must show that the medical professional breached their standards of care and that the negligence directly caused the injuries. This requires the testimony of a medical expert. A medical malpractice case also must prove the extent and damages of the victim's injuries. This includes the cost of treatment as well as any wages lost. The more the loss is, the more valuable of the claim.
Incorrect Procedure
It might seem unlikely for medical professionals to perform the incorrect procedure on a patient, but this type of mishap is quite common. The surgeon who commits this mistake could be held to be liable for malpractice. However those who are injured as a result of a surgical error could also be held responsible for any negligence that occurred along the process.
A health care professional accused of malpractice compensation must prove that the patient was injured because of the specific act or failure to take action. To prove this the legal counsel of the patient must prove that (1) the doctor had an obligation to provide treatment 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 that the legal system could deal with.
A breach of duty of care is no meaning unless it results in injury. This is why medical malpractice cases are usually based on the legal doctrine "res ipsa locquitur" which states that certain injuries are so obvious that they can be explained only by negligence.
Depending on the facts of the situation, 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. However, in certain circumstances medical malpractice lawsuits can be brought in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
The wrong-site procedure is rare but it can be considered medical malpractice in the event that the procedure is carried out in the wrong area of your body. This kind of error is usually caused by a lack of communication between members of a surgical team or production pressure that leads to the surgeon being assigned multiple surgeries at once. In these cases, a surgeon is not solely accountable for malpractice litigation a mistaken-site procedure due to the legal principle known as "res ipsa locquitur", which states that the outcome speaks for itself and cannot be attributed to negligence.
If someone is injured during a wrong-site procedure it is possible that the patient will require additional procedures to rectify problems that were exacerbated by the mistake. Patients and their families are left with high medical bills. It is important to consider these costs when calculating the financial burden of medical malpractice lawsuits.
Surgeons are often found to be responsible for surgical mistakes as they are the ones who are responsible for prepping for the operation as well as double-checking the patient's charts and medical records, coordinating effectively with other members of the medical team, and making sure the incision is located at the correct location. In certain instances hospitals or anesthesiologists may also be held responsible. Medical malpractice compensation cases are typically filed in state courts, however, under certain circumstances they may be transferred to federal court.
