How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Many medical malpractice lawsuits require significant time and resources from both doctors and attorneys. This includes attorney time, court fees expert witness fees, and other expenses.
A medical malpractice claim can be filed in the event that a healthcare professional has been negligent or has committed misconduct or committed a mistake or acted in a way that was not. Victims of injury may seek compensation damages, which include economic losses such as past and future medical malpractice attorney bills, as well as noneconomic expenses like pain and suffering.
Complaint
A medical malpractice case is complex and requires evidence of credibility for success. The patient who has been injured (or their attorney if they've died) must show each of these legal aspects of the claim:
A hospital or doctor had a responsibility to follow the applicable standard of care. The defendant violated that duty. The breach directly caused injury for the plaintiff. This aspect of a malpractice claim is called "causation." A breach of the standard of care does not cause injury; it must be shown that the breach directly caused the injury and was the direct cause of the injury.
To protect the rights of a patient, and to ensure that a doctor does not continue to commit mistakes, it is essential to file a report with the state medical board. A report is not a lawsuit however, it is the first step to starting the malpractice claim. It is advisable to speak with a Syracuse malpractice attorney prior to filing any report or document.
Summons
As part of the legal process, a summons or claim forms is filed with the court, and then delivered to the defendant doctor. A lawyer appointed by the court for the plaintiff will then look over the documents and, if it appears that there is an issue with malpractice the lawyer will file a complaint and affidavit to the court detailing the medical error that they believe to have committed.
The next step in the legal process is obtaining evidence through pretrial discovery. This includes submitting requests for documentation, such as hospital billing and notes from clinics, and taking the deposition of the defendant's physician. Attorneys then will question the defendant on oath about the details of the case.
The attorney for the plaintiff will use this evidence to prove the elements of a claim for medical malpractice at trial. These include the existence of a duty on the doctor's part to provide care and treatment to patients; the physician's violation of this duty; a causal link between the breach and the patient's injuries or death and a substantial amount of damages that result from the death or injury to warrant a monetary award for compensation.
Discovery
During the process of discovery each side is entitled to ask for and receive evidence that is relevant to the case. This includes medical records from prior to and after an incident of alleged negligence, information about experts as well as copies of tax returns or other documentation related to expenses out of pocket the plaintiff claims have been attributable to them, and the names and contact details of witnesses who will testify in the trial.
Most states have a statute of limitation that allows injured patients only some time after a medical mishap to pursue a lawsuit. The time limit is usually set by law in the state, and they are subject to a rule known as the "discovery rule."
To prevail in a medical negligence case an injured victim must prove that the doctor's negligence caused a specific injury like physical pain or loss of income. They must also prove causation -which means, that the negligent treatment was the sole reason for their injury or death.
Deposition
Depositions are essentially question-and-answer meetings that are conducted in the presence a court reporter, who records the questions as well in the responses. Depositions are part of the discovery process, in which parties collect information to use in the trial.
Attorneys can ask a series questions to witnesses, typically doctors. When a doctor is deposed and asked to answer questions in an honest and open manner under oath. Typically, the doctor is first asked questions by an attorney before being interrogated by a different attorney. This is a crucial phase in the case and the physician has to focus on it with complete attention.
Depositions are a great way for attorneys to obtain a detailed background of the doctor, including his education, training and experience. This information is essential for showing that the doctor violated the standards of care in your case and that the breach caused you harm. For instance, doctors who have received training in the field of malpractice cases will typically be able to prove that they have a lot of experience in performing specific procedures and techniques that may be relevant to a particular medical malpractice case.
Trial
A civil court is officially initiated when your lawyer is able to file a complaint as well as a summons with the appropriate court. The process begins with a legal requirement of disclosure, referred to as discovery which is where you and your doctor's team work together to gather evidence to prove your case. This typically consists of medical records as well as testimony from experts.
The goal of proving negligence is to prove that your physician's actions fell short of the standard of care. Your lawyer must convince a jury that it is more likely than not your injuries could not have occurred had your doctor followed the standard of care. Your doctor's lawyers will argue defenses that contradict the evidence that your attorney has presented.
Despite the legend that doctors are targets for malpractice claims that are not meritorious, years of empirical research has shown that jury verdicts tend to reflect fair assessment of damages and negligence and juries are skeptical of damages that are exaggerated. The majority of malpractice cases settle prior to trial.
