Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys have a fiduciary obligation with their clients and are expected to act with diligence, care and ability. However, just like any other professional attorneys make mistakes.
Every mistake made by an attorney is malpractice. To prove legal negligence the victim must demonstrate the breach of duty, duty, causation, and damage. Let's look at each one of these aspects.
Duty-Free
Medical professionals and doctors take an oath that they will use their knowledge and expertise to cure patients, not cause additional harm. The legal right of a patient to compensation for injuries suffered from medical malpractice is based on the concept of duty of care. Your attorney can help you determine whether or not the actions of your doctor violated this duty of care, and if the breach caused harm or malpractice lawsuits illness to your.
Your lawyer must prove that the medical professional in question owed you the fiduciary obligation to act with reasonable competence and care. Proving that this relationship existed could require evidence like your records of your doctor-patient relationship or eyewitness testimony, as well as experts from doctors with similar knowledge, experience, and education.
Your lawyer must also demonstrate that the medical professional breached their duty of care by not living up to the standards of practice that are accepted in their field. This is usually known as negligence. Your lawyer will be able to compare what the defendant did with what a reasonable individual would do in a similar situation.
In addition, your lawyer must show that the defendant's breach of duty directly caused your loss or injury. This is called causation. Your lawyer will make use of evidence including your doctor's or patient records, witness testimony, and expert testimony, to demonstrate that the defendant's failure to meet the standard of care was the main reason for the loss or injury to you.
Breach
A doctor has a duty of treatment to his patients that corresponds to professional medical standards. If a doctor fails to adhere to these standards and the failure results in an injury, then medical malpractice or negligence may occur. Expert witness testimony from medical professionals that possess similar qualifications, training and skills can help determine the level of care in a particular situation. Federal and state laws, along with policies of the institute, help define what doctors are expected to do for certain kinds of patients.
To be successful in a malpractice case it must be established that the doctor breached his or her duty to take care of patients and that the breach was the direct cause of an injury. This is known in legal terms as the causation element, and it is vital that it be established. For example in the event that a damaged arm requires an xray the doctor has to properly fix the arm and place it in a cast for proper healing. If the doctor was unable to do this and the patient suffered an unavoidable loss of the use of the arm, then malpractice may have occurred.
Causation
Attorney malpractice claims are based on the evidence that proves that the lawyer's mistakes resulted in financial losses for the client. For instance when a lawyer fails to file a lawsuit within the prescribed time of limitations, which results in the case being lost for ever the person who was injured could bring legal malpractice attorney lawsuits.
It is important to understand that not all mistakes by attorneys are malpractice. Strategies and mistakes are not generally considered to be malpractice, and attorneys have a lot of latitude in making judgment calls so long as they're reasonable.
Additionally, the law grants attorneys the right to conduct discovery on behalf of a client, so in the event that it is not unreasonable or negligent. Legal malpractice can be triggered when a lawyer fails to find important documents or information, such as medical reports or witness statements. Other examples of malpractice include a inability to include certain claims or defendants, such as forgetting to file a survival count in a wrongful death lawsuit, or the repeated and extended inability to contact the client.
It's also important to keep in mind that it must be proved that, if not the negligence of the lawyer the plaintiff would have won the case. Otherwise, the plaintiff's claim for malpractice will be rejected. This requirement makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. It is essential to choose an experienced attorney.
Damages
A plaintiff must prove that the lawyer's actions led to actual financial losses to win a legal malpractice lawsuit. In a lawsuit, this has to be proved with evidence, like expert testimony or correspondence between the client and attorney. The plaintiff must also show that a reasonable attorney would have prevented the damage caused by the lawyer's negligence. This is known as proximate causation.
It can happen in a variety of ways. Some of the most common kinds of malpractice are failing to meet a deadline, for example, a statute of limitations, a failure to conduct a conflict-check or other due diligence on the case, not applying the law to a client's case or breaching a fiduciary obligation (i.e. commingling trust account funds with an attorney's personal accounts) or a mishandling of an instance, and failing to communicate with a client.
In most medical malpractice cases the plaintiff will seek compensation damages. They compensate the victim for the out-of-pocket expenses and losses, like medical and hospital bills, the cost of equipment that aids in recovery, and lost wages. In addition, victims can seek non-economic damages, such as suffering and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life and emotional distress.
Legal malpractice cases often involve claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages. The former compensates a victim for losses caused by the negligence of the attorney, whereas the latter is designed to discourage future misconduct by the defendant.
