Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys are in a fiduciary position with their clients and are expected to conduct themselves with diligence, care and ability. Attorneys make mistakes, as do other professional.
The mistakes made by an attorney is negligence. To prove that legal malpractice has occurred, the aggrieved person must demonstrate that there was breach of duty, causation, breach and damage. Let's look at each of these aspects.
Duty
Medical professionals and doctors swear by their training and skills to cure patients and not cause harm to others. The duty of care is the basis for the right of a patient to be compensated in the event of injury due to medical negligence. Your attorney will determine if your doctor's actions breached the duty of medical care and if the breach caused injury or illness.
Your lawyer has to prove that the medical professional was bound by the duty of a fiduciary to perform with reasonable skill and care. The proof of this relationship may require evidence, such as the records of your doctor and patient or eyewitness testimony, as well as expert testimony from doctors with similar experiences, education and training.
Your lawyer must also prove that the medical professional breached their duty of care by failing to adhere to the accepted standards of practice in their field. This is typically known as negligence. Your attorney will compare the actions of the defendant to what a reasonable individual would do in the same situation.
Finally, your lawyer must prove that the defendant's lapse of duty directly resulted in injury or loss to you. This is known as causation. Your attorney will use evidence like your doctor-patient records, witness statements and expert testimony to demonstrate that the defendant's inability to uphold the standards of care in your case was a direct cause of your injury or loss.
Breach
A doctor is bound by a duty of care to his patients which is in line with professional medical standards. If a doctor fails to adhere to these standards and that failure results in injury, negligence and medical malpractice might occur. Typically expert testimony from medical professionals with similar training, skills, certifications and experience will help determine what the appropriate standard of care is in a particular circumstance. State and federal laws, as well as institute policies, help determine what doctors are required to do for certain types of patients.
To prevail in a malpractice lawsuit it is necessary to prove that the doctor breached his or her duty of care and that this breach was a direct cause of injury. This is referred to in legal terms as the causation element, and it is crucial that it be established. If a doctor has to obtain an xray of an injured arm, they must place the arm in a cast and properly set it. If the physician failed to perform this task and the patient suffered permanent loss of use of that arm, then malpractice could have occurred.
Causation
Legal malpractice claims are based on evidence that the attorney committed mistakes that caused financial losses to the client. For example the lawyer does not file a lawsuit within the prescribed time of limitations, which results in the case being lost for ever and the victim could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
It is important to realize that not all mistakes made by lawyers constitute illegal. The mistakes that involve strategy and planning aren't usually considered to be a violation of the law attorneys have a lot of latitude to make decisions based on their judgments as long as they are reasonable.
The law also allows lawyers an enormous amount of discretion to not conduct discovery on behalf of a client as long as the error was not unreasonable or negligence. Failing to discover important information or documents like witness statements or medical reports, is a potential example of legal malpractice. Other examples of malpractice are the failure to include certain defendants or claims, like forgetting a survival count for an unjustly-dead case or the recurrent failure to communicate with clients.
It's also important to keep in mind that it must be established that, had it not been for the lawyer's negligence, the plaintiff would have won the case. In the event that it is not, the plaintiff's claim for malpractice will be denied. This requirement makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. It is important to employ an experienced attorney.
Damages
A plaintiff must prove that the attorney's actions have caused actual financial losses to win a legal malpractice lawsuit. In a lawsuit, this must be proved with evidence, like expert testimony or correspondence between the attorney and the client. In addition the plaintiff must show that a reasonable lawyer would have prevented the harm that was caused by the attorney's negligence. This is referred to as proximate cause.
It can happen in many different ways. The most frequent malpractices include: failing the deadline or statute of limitations; not conducting a conflict check on an issue; applying the law incorrectly to a client's particular situation; and breaking the fiduciary duty (i.e. mixing funds from a trust account an attorney's account, mishandling a case and failing to communicate with the client are just a few examples of misconduct.
Medical malpractice lawyer lawsuits typically involve claims for compensatory damages. These compensations compensate the victim for out-of pocket expenses and losses such as hospital and medical bills, costs of equipment to aid recovery, and lost wages. Victims are also able to claim non-economic damages like discomfort and pain or loss of enjoyment in their lives, as well as emotional suffering.
Legal malpractice cases often involve claims for compensatory or punitive damages. The former compensates victims for the loss resulting from the negligence of the attorney, while the latter is intended to discourage future misconduct by the defendant.
