Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
The process of bringing a malpractice lawsuit is a complex procedure. If a patient is able to prove four elements, it will decide whether or not the mistake is malpractice. These are professional obligation or breach of that obligation; an injury that results from this breach; and measurable damage.
Plaintiffs must also prove these elements by presenting evidence such as expert testimony, depositions and discovery.
Undiagnosed or Incorrectly Diagnosed
Failure to identify an illness or injury accurately can result in serious complications, or death. Many medical malpractice cases involve mistaken diagnosis. To prove negligence the patient or their attorney must demonstrate that a competent doctor under similar circumstances and working in the same field would not have misdiagnosed the problem.
There are many misdiagnosis that could be considered negligence, but. Even the most skilled and trained doctors make mistakes, and the claim of malpractice must be supported by other factors like breach, proximate causation and actual injury. For instance the case where a physician does not properly clean their equipment prior the time they administer anesthesia and the patient suffers an infection because of it the doctor may be found to be negligent.
The majority of lawsuits involving malpractice are filed in state trial courts where the alleged malpractice occurred. However, federal courts could have jurisdiction under limited circumstances. A claim may be filed before a federal court in specific circumstances. For instance, it may involve a dispute about a statute of limitation or when the parties are of different citizenships. Alternatively, some claims are settled through voluntary binding arbitration. This is a less-formal process that involves professional decision makers. It is designed to lower expenses, speed up the legal process, and reduce the risk associated with overly large juries. Arbitration is not available in all cases of misconduct.
Dosage of a drug that is incorrect
Medication mistakes, also referred to as medication errors, are among 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 the patient. These errors are usually avoidable. Based on the circumstances the pharmacy, hospital or other health care provider could be held responsible for the harm caused by patients who were given the wrong dose of a medication.
A doctor could prescribe the wrong medication because of a misdiagnosis or simply misreading the prescription. A health care professional may also give the wrong dosage due to a breakdown in communication. For example, a nurse may not read a doctor's prescription correctly or a pharmacist might have a mistake while filling the prescription. In other situations, a doctor could delay administering the correct medication to the patient, resulting in their condition worsening.
A victim must prove, for the sake of winning a malpractice claim, that the medical professional violated their standards of practice and that their injuries were directly attributed to the negligence. This requires the testimony of a medical expert. Moreover, a medical malpractice case must prove the extent of a victim's injuries and the damages they sustained because of the negligence. This includes the cost of treatment as well as any lost wage. In general, the greater a loss is, the more valuable the claim will be.
Incorrect Procedure
It may seem impossible that medical professionals would perform the wrong procedure on a patient, but this type of incident is quite common. A surgeon who commits this error can be found liable for negligence. A patient who suffers injury as a result of a surgical error may be held responsible for any errors that occured during the procedure.
A health care professional who is accused of negligence must prove that the patient was injured as a result of a specific act, or inability to act. To prove this the legal counsel of the patient must show that: (1) the doctor had the obligation to provide medical care or treatment; (2) that the doctor did not fulfill this duty; (3) that there is a direct and causal connection between the breach and the injury and (4) that the injury causes damages that the legal system can resolve.
A breach of the duty of care is meaningless unless it causes injury which is the reason medical malpractice attorney lawsuits are generally founded on a legal principle known as "res ipsa loquitur." This law states that, in a lot of instances certain injuries are so obvious and evident that they are only explained by negligent actions.
Depending on the circumstances depending on the facts, the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim or their legal representative) or their attorney may decide to file a lawsuit in state or federal court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state court, however in certain circumstances medical malpractice lawsuits can be brought in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
The wrong-site surgery is a common error, but it could be considered medical malpractice if the procedure is performed on the wrong part of the body. This type of error usually occurs as due to miscommunication between members of a surgical team, or production pressure that results in the surgeon being tasked with multiple surgeries at once. In these cases the surgeon isn't the only one with responsibility for a surgery that was performed on the wrong site since there is a legal principle called "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the effect of the error is evident and cannot be traced to negligence.
If a patient is injured due to surgery performed on the wrong site it is possible that he or she will require additional procedures to repair problems that are aggravated by the mistake. This could result in expensive medical expenses for patients and their families. These expenses should be taken into consideration when calculating the financial impact of medical malpractice lawsuits.
Surgeons are often found to be responsible for surgical mistakes because they are the ones who are accountable for preparing for the operation, double-checking the patient's chart 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 the hospital or anesthesiologist could also be held accountable. Medical malpractice claims are typically filed in state court however, they can be transferred under certain circumstances to federal court.
