How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Medical malpractice lawsuits are a bit more complicated. There are certain guidelines to follow, such as the time frame within which the lawsuit may be filed.
In addition to showing negligence, the claimant must prove that the doctor's actions led to injuries and losses. This will require medical and hospital documents.
Complaint
Once your attorney's investigation has uncovered evidence that malpractice occurred, the attorney will file a formal complaint in court, along with summons. The complaint identifies the defendants in your case, and clearly outlines the allegations you're making against them.
Malpractice claims are based on the idea that nurses, doctors, or other healthcare professionals owe patients a certain standard of care. This is defined as the degree of competence and care that a reasonable medical professional with similar training would apply in similar circumstances. Your legal team must demonstrate that your doctor violated this standard and resulted in you suffering quantifiable injury.
The standard of care a physician provides is usually an issue of opinion and is often difficult to prove. It is crucial to choose an attorney who has access to experts in the field of medicine to provide proof of what a competent professional would have done.
Not only doctors make mistakes, but also hospital staff, such as anesthesiologists and nurses. This is particularly true for emergency room staff where mistakes are usually made due to a busy atmosphere and overworked personnel. Your attorney may be able to obtain testimony from experts in the emergency room that can assist in proving the correct procedure and why your doctor's actions fell short of this standard.
Discovery
During the discovery phase, your attorney will gather and look over evidence that could be used to prove a malpractice claim. This could include medical records, witness statements, as and expert testimony. The legal team on the other side will also have the opportunity to request the information from you and your attorney.

You must also prove your injury was the result of a negligence of the doctor. This is the most challenging aspect of a medical negligence case because it requires an expert witness testimony to support your claim.
Your lawyer will also call any witnesses that can support the doctor's negligent actions.

Your attorney will be skilled in taking effective and convincing depositions that force these witnesses to admit that the doctor's negligence was not their fault.
Most lawsuits are resolved, or settled, before they get to the trial stage. This is especially true in medical malpractice cases as the costs involved in a trial can be extremely expensive. Once the facts are established and you have a chance to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company of the doctor. If a settlement isn't agreed upon, your case will go to trial.
Trial
After your attorney completes the initial investigation and decides you have an excellent malpractice case, they will file the complaint. This will clearly outline the allegations and must be handed to the defendant in a summons.
Discovery is the next phase. This includes the exchange of medical records as well as depositions from witnesses. Your lawyer will make use of these statements to prove your doctor's violation of the standard of care. The goal is to establish that the error was the result of the negligence of the doctor and caused damages.
Aside from the witness statement, your medical malpractice attorney will collaborate with two or more experts to support your claim. They will be provided with medical records and detailed information about your case to prepare for their testimony and deposition. They may also assist in preparing your case for trial.
As part of the trial preparation, your attorney will begin settlement negotiations with the defense. This process can go on for several years. In this time, it is likely that you will be recovering from your injuries and determining the magnitude and value of your injuries. It's in everyone's interest to settle your case outside of court and avoid litigation whenever feasible. Your attorney will carefully weigh the merits of a settlement against your current and long-term recovery. If the settlement offer is reasonable and fair, then your attorney will convince you to accept it.
Damages
During the process of discovery Plaintiffs must demonstrate that their losses were substantial and that the negligence of the defendant contributed to the damages.

To be able to bring a valid malpractice lawsuit, the victim must prove that a competent attorney would have been able to avoid financial loss or at least reduce the size.

Additionally, it is necessary to demonstrate that the plaintiff was liable for costs to pursue a successful legal claim that are over the amount of compensation sought.
