Medical Malpractice Litigation
Medical malpractice litigation can be complex and time-consuming. Both plaintiffs and defendants are also required to pay a substantial price.
To be able to claim financial compensation in a medical malpractice lawsuit, an injured patient must prove that inadequate medical treatment caused injury. This requires establishing four legal elements which include professional duty and breach of duty as well as injury and damages.
Discovery
The most important part of a case involving medical negligence is the gathering of evidence. This can be accomplished by means of written interrogatories or requests for documents. Interrogatories are inquiries that have to be answered under swearing by the opponent to the lawsuit and are used to establish facts to be presented in court. Documents that are requested to be produced permit tangible documents to be obtained, such as medical malpractice law firm records or test results.
In many cases your attorney will record the deposition of the defendant's physician, which is an audio recording of questions and answers. This permits your attorney to ask the witness or doctor questions that would not have been permitted during trial. It can be very useful in cases with experts as witnesses.
The information collected during discovery before trial will be used to support your claim at trial.
Breach of the standard care
Injuries resulting from the violation of the standard of care
Proximate cause
A doctor's failure to use the level of knowledge and skill held by doctors in their field of specialization, and which proximately resulted in injury to a patient
Mediation
While medical malpractice trials are sometimes required, they do have some significant disadvantages for both parties. The stress, expense and time commitment required to conduct a trial can have a negative effect on plaintiffs. For defendant health professionals, a trial could result in humiliation and loss of prestige. It can also have negative effects on their career and practice since the financial payments they receive as part of settlements prior to trial are reported to national practitioner databases and to the state medical licensing body and the medical societies.
Mediation is the most cost-effective, efficient, and cost-effective method to settle an injury claim. The parties are able to negotiate more freely as they avoid the costs of a trial and the risk of jury verdicts to be eroded.
Before mediation, both parties provide the mediator with an outline of the facts of the case (a "mediation brief"). The parties usually allow their communication to go through their lawyer rather than directly between themselves at this point because direct communications could be used against them later on in court. As the mediation proceeds it's a good idea to focus on your case's strengths and be prepared to recognize its weaknesses. This will enable the mediator to fill any gaps and offer you an appropriate offer.
Trial
The aim of reformers in tort law is to develop an appropriate system for remuneration of those who have been injured by medical negligence in a timely manner and without excessive cost. Although this is a difficult task several states have implemented tort reform measures in order to lower the cost of medical malpractice claims.
Most physicians in the United States carry malpractice insurance to protect themselves against claims of professional negligence in medical instances. Some of these policies are required to be carried out as a condition of hospital privileges or work within a medical company.
To be eligible for the financial compensation for injuries caused by a medical practitioner's negligence the patient who has suffered injury must establish that the physician did not adhere to the standards of care applicable in the field of expertise they practice. This concept is known as proximate causes and is a key element in the medical malpractice claim.
A lawsuit begins by filing an civil summons and complaint in the appropriate court. Following this the parties have to engage in a process of disclosure. This involves written interrogatories and the production of documents like medical records. Also, it involves depositions (deponents are interrogated by attorneys under an oath) and requests for admission which are declarations that one side wishes the other to admit, either in full or part.
The burden of proof in medical malpractice cases is very high and the damages awarded are based on the actual economic loss like lost income and the cost of future medical care and noneconomic losses such as suffering and pain. It is crucial to work with an experienced lawyer when you are you are pursuing a medical negligence claim.
Settlement
Settlements are the most common way to resolve medical malpractice lawsuits. In general, the actual dollar value of a case is negotiated between the plaintiff and the defendants (often through or alongside the defendant's malpractice/professional liability insurer). The result is a check for the injured patient, which is paid to the plaintiff's lawyer who then deposits the check into an account called an escrow. The lawyer subtracts the legal fees and case expenses according to the representation agreement. Then, he provides the injured victims with settlement.
To win a medical malpractice case, an aggrieved patient must demonstrate that a doctor or other healthcare professional was obligated to them under a duty of care, but breached that duty by failing to exercise the requisite degree of knowledge and expertise in their field, that in direct consequence of the breach, the victim suffered injury, and that such injuries can be quantified in terms of monetary loss.
In the United States, there are 94 federal district courts, which are equivalent to state trial courts. Each of these courts has an ad hoc jury and judge panel which hears cases. In certain circumstances the medical malpractice case could be transferred to one of these courts. Physicians in the United States typically carry medical malpractice insurance to protect themselves from claims of accidental harm or wrongdoing. Doctors must be aware of the structure and operation of our legal system to ensure they can respond appropriately to a lawsuit brought against them.
