How to File a Medical Malpractice Claim

A malpractice claim is a legal proceeding taken against a health professional for negligent acts which result in injuries to patients. In cases of malpractice the legal team of the patient who has been injured must prove that the doctor's actions did not conform to the standards of care expected of a person who has the same training and education.

Your lawyer will make use of written questions that are sent to the defendant doctor and requests for documents. Medical malpractice lawsuits are filed in state trial courts.

Botched Treatment

You could be able to bring a malpractice lawsuit against your surgeon if you are the victim of cosmetic surgery that was not done correctly. Cosmetic surgeries like breast implants and liposuction are typically elective procedures and not medically required, but this doesn't mean that they don't come with risks. The surgeons must inform patients about common unavoidable risks as well as undesirable outcomes. They should also let patients decide whether they would prefer the benefits over the risks. If a surgeon fails to disclose the information required and is found to be negligent, they could be held responsible for negligence.

For an injury to qualify for medical malpractice, it must to satisfy certain legal requirements. First, there must be a doctor-patient relationship which is usually established through documentation like your medical bills. The surgeon must have not been able to provide the recognized standard of care for their specialization in similar circumstances. The negligence has to be the reason for your injury.

In the event of an unintentional cosmetic procedure it could be as simple as leaving the body with a sponge or as complex as an inexperienced plastic surgeon performing an unnecessary procedure. You may be entitled compensation for the loss of wages, pain and any future medical costs dependent on the severity of the injury. You could also be eligible to pursue a claim against the surgeon's employer in vicarious liability. This is because employers such as hospitals and clinics are responsible for the acts of their employees while on duty.

Inability to diagnose

Everyone expects that their doctor will treat any new or troubling symptoms seriously and conduct the necessary tests to correctly diagnose an injury or illness. If a health professional fails to do this and the patient is harmed it could be deemed medical malpractice.

A doctor's inability to diagnose a patient appropriately can cause unnecessary harm, or even death. For instance an infection that is not treated can become worse and lead to sepsis, a potentially life-threatening condition that requires immediate treatment.

A claim of failure to diagnose is usually built on evidence showing that healthcare professionals had a duty of caring for the patient and that the doctor acted in breach of this duty, and his negligence led to the patient's injuries. A successful case may require an expert witness from a qualified medical professional regarding the proper standard of care and how the actions of the doctor accused deviated from that standard.

In many cases, healthcare professionals are gaining knowledge from their mistakes and making improvements to improve the quality of care. For instance, after a number of fatal cases where doctors were unable to detect heart attacks, it was learned that women have different symptoms than men and healthcare professionals must pay more attention to these differences. These lessons can help prevent any future errors. If you think that your doctor has not correctly diagnosed you or someone you love, you should consult with an attorney immediately to determine if you are the victim of an action for malpractice.

Failure to follow post-surgery protocols

If a physician does not follow the correct procedures for post-surgery and a patient suffers harm the malpractice claim can be brought against the medical professional. A surgeon, for example who fails to educate the patient on the best way to prevent infection may be found responsible for medical negligence.

The failure of a doctor to provide informed consent is another form of malpractice claim. This is a crucial aspect of any medical procedure since it lets the patient make an informed decision regarding the treatment. If a doctor does not inform a patient that a particular procedure is a risky one with a 30% chance of losing a limb, then the patient is more likely to decide against it when they are aware of the potential risks.

Physicians who are involved in malpractice litigation could find themselves in a hostile legal system. It requires a lot of resources, including time spent in courtrooms and settlement negotiations.

There are many ways to reduce the frequency of and the severity of malpractice lawsuits. For instance, certain states have implemented enterprise liability, which places the responsibility for malpractice lawsuits with the health care institution instead of the individual doctors who are responsible for the claims. This strategy has been linked to a decrease in malpractice lawsuit payments and insurance premiums.

Injuries resulting from surgical errors

Hospitals and surgeons must ensure the safety of surgical procedures. Inability to verify the patient's information and properly prepare the operating room, mark the sites of incisions or instruct staff members on surgical checklists can lead to a variety of mistakes. The estimates suggest that 4,000 surgical mistakes occur in the United States each year, which is around 11 per day. These medical malpractice incidents may result in severe injuries, such as internal bleeding, amputations, and nerve damage.

A claim for malpractice that is based on surgical error has to demonstrate that the health care professional did not meet the standards of care and caused injury to the patient. To prove this legal counsel must gather evidence of superior quality. This includes medical records and invoices. It is also recommended to record names of health care professionals and dates of interactions so that attorneys can build the strongest case possible.

Many medical malpractice cases state that hospital staff or surgeons members did not follow the standards of care during an operation. There are many surgical errors that are not mistakes. A successful malpractice case must establish four elements of a health professional's legal duty, a breach of this duty, harm caused by the negligence and damages. A lawyer can look over your medical records, and consult with medical experts from third-party sources to determine if a surgeon or other health care professional's actions violated the standard of care.
