Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation is a complicated procedure. The degree to which an error is considered to be malpractice is dependent on the ability of the patient to prove four legal elements which include professional duty and breach of this duty; injury resulting from the breach; and quantifiable damages.
Plaintiffs must prove these elements through evidence like expert testimony, depositions, and discovery.
The wrong diagnosis or the inability to diagnose
Failure to correctly diagnose an injury or illness in a timely manner can cause serious complications, or death. Many medical malpractice cases involve incorrect diagnosis. To prove negligence, the patient or their attorney must prove that a competent doctor in similar circumstances and in the same specialty would not have misdiagnosed the condition.
Not every misdiagnosis is negligence, but. Even highly-trained and experienced doctors are not immune to mistakes. Therefore, a claim for malpractice must be backed by other elements, such as breach, proximate causes and actual injury. If a physician fails to sterilize his equipment before administering anesthesia, and the patient becomes infected due to this, he could be guilty.
Lawsuits alleging malpractice are typically filed in state trial courts where the alleged misconduct occurred. However, federal courts might have jurisdiction in certain situations. A case can be brought before federal court in certain circumstances. For example it could be disputes over the statute of limitations or when the parties are of different nationalities. Some claims are settled by arbitral arbitration, which is a binding process. This is a non-formal procedure that involves professional decision makers. It is designed to reduce costs, speed up legal process, and remove the risks associated with generous juries. However, arbitration isn't accessible for all claims of malpractice.
The wrong dosage of medication
Medication errors are one of the most common causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. They can result from a doctor prescribing a prescription in error or giving the wrong dosage to patients. These mistakes are usually avoidable. Based on the circumstances the hospital, its staff, a pharmacist or other health care provider may be held liable for the injuries suffered by a patient who was given the wrong dosage of a drug.
A doctor might prescribe the wrong drug because of a misdiagnosis or simply making a mistake in the prescription. A health care professional could also prescribe the wrong dosage due to a breakdown in communication for instance, when the nurse reads the doctor's handwritten prescription incorrectly or the pharmacist makes a mistake in filling out the prescription. In other instances the doctor could delay the administration of the correct medication, which can result in the patient's health worsening.
In order to be successful in a malpractice lawsuit, a victim must demonstrate that the medical professional breached their standard of care and that their negligence directly led to their injuries. This requires medical experts to be able to testify. A medical malpractice case must establish the extent and severity of the victim's injuries. This includes the cost of treatment and any lost wage. The more the loss the greater the value of the claim.
Unskillful Procedure
This type of incident is not uncommon. It might seem unattainable for medical professionals to carry out the wrong procedure on patients, however, it is a reality. A surgeon who commits this mistake could be held liable for negligence. However patients who are injured by a surgical mistake can also be held accountable for any negligence that occurred along the process.
A health care professional who is accused of malpractice must demonstrate that the patient was injured because of a specific act, or inability to act. To prove this the legal team representing the patient must demonstrate: (1) that the doctor was obligated to treat or provide care to the patient; (2) that he violated his duty; (3) that a causal link exists between the negligence and injury; and (4) the injury results in damages the legal system can address.
A breach of duty of care is no value unless it results in injury. This is why medical malpractice cases are usually dependent on the lawful doctrine "res ipsa locquitur" which states that certain injuries are so obvious that they can be explained only by negligence.
Based on the facts the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim, or their legal representative) or their attorney may decide to file the claim in state or federal court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state court, however under certain circumstances medical malpractice lawsuits may be filed in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
The procedure that is performed on the wrong site is not common but it could be considered medical malpractice in the event that the procedure is carried out in the wrong part of your body. This kind of error is typically due to miscommunication between members of a surgical team or production pressure that leads to the surgeon being tasked with multiple surgeries at the same time. In these situations the surgeon is not solely accountable for a mistaken-site procedure because of the legal principle of "res ipsa locquitur" which says that the outcome is a matter of fact and cannot be blamed on negligence.
If a patient gets injured due to surgery performed on the wrong site the patient may require additional procedures to fix problems caused by the surgical mistake. This leads to costly medical expenses for patients and their families. These expenses must be considered when calculating the financial consequences of medical malpractice claims.
Surgeons are typically accountable for surgical errors because they are the ones who are responsible for prepping for the operation as well as double-checking the patient's charts and medical records, communicating effectively with the other members of the medical team, and making sure that the incision is made on the correct site. In some instances, an anesthesiologist or hospital may also be accountable. Medical malpractice cases are typically filed in state courts, however, in certain situations they may be transferred to federal courts.
