Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
The process of bringing a malpractice lawsuit is a complex procedure. The question of whether or not an error constitutes malpractice depends on whether the patient is able to establish four legal elements that include a professional obligation breach of this duty; injury due to the breach and the possibility of quantifiable damages.
Plaintiffs must prove these elements with evidence like expert testimony, depositions, or discovery.
Incorrect diagnosis or failure to diagnose
Failure to diagnose an injury or illness accurately can result in serious complications, or death. Many medical malpractice cases involve mistaken diagnosis. To prove negligence, a patient or their lawyer must prove that a skilled doctor in similar circumstances would not have misdiagnosed an illness.
Every misdiagnosis can be considered to be an error, but. Even the most experienced and highly trained doctors make mistakes. Therefore, an allegation of Malpractice Lawyer needs to be supported by other factors like breach, proximate causation, and actual injury. For example, if a physician does not take the time to sterilize their equipment before administering anesthesia and the patient suffers an infection as a result the doctor may be liable for malpractice.
In most instances, lawsuits claiming that there was a mistake will be filed in the state trial court in which the alleged error occurred. However, federal courts could be able to hear cases in specific circumstances. For instance, a lawsuit could be filed in federal court in the event of an issue regarding the statute of limitations or when there is a substantial diversity of citizenship of those involved in the dispute. Some claims can be resolved through binding arbitration that is voluntary. This is a less formal process which involves professional decision makers and is designed to reduce costs, speed up legal proceedings, and eliminate the risk of overly generous juries. However, arbitration is not available for all malpractice claims.
Dosage of a drug that is incorrect
Medication errors are one of the most common causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. They can involve a physician prescribing the wrong medication or giving the wrong dosage to a patient. These errors are usually preventable. Based on the circumstances the hospital or its staff, a pharmacist or other health professionals may be held liable for the injuries sustained by a patient who was prescribed the wrong dosage of medication.
A doctor can prescribe the wrong medication because of a misdiagnosis. Or, simply failing to read the prescription. A health care provider may also prescribe the wrong dose due to an issue with communication like when a nurse reads the doctor's handwritten prescription incorrectly or the pharmacist is mistaken in filling the prescription. In other situations the doctor may delay the proper medication to the patient, resulting in the patient's condition getting worse.
To win an action for malpractice, a victim must demonstrate that the medical professional acted in breach of their standard of care and that their negligence directly led to the injuries. This requires medical experts to testify. Moreover, a medical malpractice case must prove the extent of the victim's injuries and the damages they sustained because of the negligence. This includes the cost of treatment as well as any lost wage. The more the loss of the claim, the greater the value of the claim.
Wrong Procedure
This type of incident is not uncommon. It may seem like a challenge for medical professionals to perform the wrong procedure on patients, however, it happens. A surgeon who makes this mistake could be held liable for negligence. However the patient who is injured by a surgical mistake could also be held accountable for any negligence that occurred during the process.
Any health care professional who is accused of malpractice must prove that the patient was harmed through a specific act or failure to act. To establish this the legal counsel of the patient must prove that (1) the doctor had an obligation to provide care or treatment; (2) that the doctor breached the duty of care; (3) that there is a direct and causal connection between the breach and the injury; and (4) that the injury results in damages that the legal system can address.
A breach of the duty of care is insignificant unless it causes injury which is the reason medical malpractice claims are usually based on a legal doctrine known as "res ipsa loquitur." This law says that, in a lot of instances certain injuries are so evident and obvious that they cannot be explained except by negligence.
Based on the facts of the situation, the plaintiff (the patient or their legally designated representative) or their attorney can make the claim in a federal or state court.

Wrong Surgery

This kind of error is usually caused by miscommunications between members of the surgical team, or due to production pressures that lead to surgeons being assigned multiple surgeries at once. In these cases the surgeon is not solely responsible for an incorrect-site procedure because of a legal rule known as "res ipsa locquitur", which states that the outcome is a matter of fact and cannot be attributed to negligence.
If a patient gets injured as a result of surgery done on the wrong location and is injured, they may require additional treatments to correct problems that are aggravated by the surgical mistake. This could result in expensive medical bills for patients and their families. These expenses should be taken into consideration when calculating the financial consequences of medical malpractice claims.
Surgeons are often held accountable for surgical errors as they are the ones who are accountable for making preparations for the operation as well as double-checking the patient's charts and medical records, coordinating effectively with other members of the medical team, and making sure that the incision has been done at the correct place. However, in some cases an anesthesiologist or hospital may also be accountable. Medical malpractice claims are generally filed in state court, however, they can be transferred under certain circumstances to federal court.
