Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
The legal process for defending malpractice is a complex procedure. The degree to which an error is malpractice based on the ability of the patient to prove four legal elements that include a professional obligation; breach of this duty; injury due to the breach and quantifiable damages.
Plaintiffs must prove these elements by presenting evidence like expert testimony, depositions, or discovery.
Undiagnosed or Incorrectly Diagnosed
Failure to diagnose an injury or illness correctly could lead to serious complications, or even death. The misdiagnosis of a patient is a frequent cause of medical negligence. To prove negligence, the patient or their attorney must show that a competent doctor under similar circumstances and in the same specialty would not have misdiagnosed the condition.
Misdiagnosis does not always constitute malpractice. Even the most experienced and highly trained doctors make mistakes, so any claim of malpractice has to be backed by other elements such as breach, proximate causation, and actual injury. For example If a doctor is not careful to clean their equipment prior the time they administer anesthesia and the patient suffers an infection in the process the doctor could be liable for malpractice.
In most cases, lawsuits that allege malpractice will be filed in the state trial court in which the malpractice was alleged to have occurred. However, federal courts may be able to handle cases in certain circumstances. A claim may be filed before federal court in certain circumstances. For example it could be the issue of a statute of limitation or in the event that the parties have different nationalities. Additionally, some cases are settled through voluntary binding arbitration. This is a less formal process which involves professional decision makers and is designed to reduce costs, speed up legal proceedings and remove the risk of overly generous juries. Arbitration is not accessible in all cases of malpractice attorneys.
Dosage of a drug that is incorrect
Medication errors, also known as medication mistakes, are one of the main causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. They can be the result of a doctor prescribing the wrong medication or giving the wrong dosage to the patient. These mistakes are usually avoidable. In the event of an incident, a pharmacy, a hospital or other health care providers could be held accountable for injuries caused by a patient who was given the wrong dose of a drug.
A doctor might prescribe the wrong drug because of a misdiagnosis, or simply misreading the prescription. A health care provider can also prescribe the wrong dosage due to a breakdown in communication. For instance, a nurse may interpret a doctor's prescription incorrectly or a pharmacist may fail to fill the prescription. In other instances the doctor might delay the proper medication, which can cause the patient's condition to worsening.
A plaintiff must prove for the sake of winning a malpractice claim, that the medical professional violated their standard of practice and that their injuries were directly attributed to the negligence. This requires medical experts to testify. Medical malpractice cases also must establish the extent and severity of the victim's injuries. This includes the cost of treatment as well as any lost wage. The more money you lose is, the more valuable of the claim.
The wrong procedure
It may seem impossible for medical professionals to perform the incorrect procedure on a patient, however, this type of event does occur. The surgeon who makes this error could be held liable for malpractice. A patient who suffers injury due to an error during surgery may be held accountable for any negligence that occurred during the procedure.
A health professional accused of malpractice has to prove that the patient was injured as a result of a specific act, or failure to act. To establish this the legal team of the patient must prove that (1) the doctor was bound by an obligation to provide care or treatment; (2) that the doctor breached this duty; (3) that there is a direct causal connection between the breach and the injury; and (4) that the injury results in damages that the legal system is able to resolve.
A breach of duty of care is no meaning unless it results in injury. This is the reason medical malpractice cases are usually built on the legal principle "res ipsa locquitur" which says that certain injuries are so obvious they can be explained only by negligence.
Based on the facts of the case, the plaintiff (the patient or their legally appointed representative) or their attorney may make the claim in a state or federal court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state courts, but in certain situations a medical negligence case can be brought to federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
The wrong-site surgery isn't common but it can be considered medical malpractice if the procedure is performed in the wrong place on your body. This kind of error is often caused by miscommunications between the surgical team, or pressures on production that result in surgeons being assigned multiple surgeries scheduled at the same time. In these instances the surgeon isn't all-in on his responsibility for an incorrect-site procedure due to an underlying legal principle referred to as "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the consequence of the error is evident and can only be attributed to negligence.
When a patient is injured by wrong-site surgery the patient may require additional procedures to correct problems caused due to the surgical error. Patients and their families are left with high medical bills. It is important to keep these costs in mind when calculating the financial costs of medical malpractice lawsuits.
The majority of times surgeons are liable for surgical mistakes. They are accountable in preparing the patient prior to the procedure, examining the medical records and charts of the patient, coordinating with the medical team, and ensuring that the incision was made in the correct place. However, in certain instances a hospital or anesthesiologist may also be accountable. Medical malpractice cases are usually filed in state court, but can be transferred under certain circumstances to federal court.
