How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Medical malpractice lawsuits can be a bit complicated. There are certain guidelines to be adhered to including a time limit within which the suit may be filed.
The claimant must also demonstrate that the doctor's actions led to injuries and losses. This will require hospital and medical records.
Complaint
Your lawyer will file a court complaint and summons when he/she has discovered evidence of malpractice. The complaint will identify the defendants, and then state the allegations against them.
Malpractice claims are founded on the notion that doctors, nurses or other healthcare professionals owe patients the highest standard of care. This is the amount of expertise and prudence an appropriately prudent doctor with similar training would employ in similar situations. Your legal team must show that your doctor did not adhere to this standard and caused you to suffer quantifiable harm.
A doctor's standard of care is often a matter of opinion and can be difficult to prove. This is why it's important to hire a law firm that has access to expert witnesses who can testify about the medical field and what an experienced professional in your doctor's situation would have done.
It is not just physicians who make medical errors; hospital personnel, including nurses and anesthesiologists are susceptible to making mistakes. This is particularly true of emergency room personnel, where mistakes are frequently made due to the crazed atmosphere and overworked employees. Your attorney might be able to secure testimony from experts in the emergency department who can help demonstrate the correct procedure and how the actions of your doctor fell short of this standard.
Discovery
During the discovery process your lawyer will gather and look over evidence that could be used to provide evidence to support a claim for malpractice. This includes medical records, witness statements expert testimony and more. The other side's legal team may also be able to request the information from you and your attorney. This is done through interrogatories or requests for documents. Certain documents may be considered to be confidential and private due to privacy laws, for instance HIPAA's Privacy Rule.
You must also prove your injury was the result of a negligent doctor. This is the most challenging part of a medical malpractice case because it requires an expert witness testimony to support your claim.
Your lawyer will also depose witnesses that can prove that the doctor was negligent. This can include assistants, nurses radiologists, dentists, and others who were involved in your treatment. Your attorney will know how to take effective and powerful depositions in order to get witnesses to admit that the doctor's negligence was a factor.
Most lawsuits are resolved, or settled, before they get to the trial stage. For medical malpractice cases, this is especially common because the cost of going to trial can be expensive. Once the facts are established you can negotiate an agreement with the insurer of the doctor. If a settlement cannot be reached your case will proceed to trial.
Trial
Your lawyer will file a complaint following an initial investigation. If they find that you have a strong case of malpractice, they will file it. The complaint will clearly state your allegations and must be served on the defendant along with a summons.
Discovery is the next step. This includes the exchange of medical records as well as depositions from witnesses. Your lawyer will use these statements to establish your doctor's breach of the standard of care. The aim is to demonstrate that the error was the result of the negligence of the doctor, and resulted in damages.
Your medical malpractice attorney will also collaborate with one or more expert witnesses to support your claim. These experts will be given medical records and specific information about your case to prepare for their deposition and testify. They may also aid in making your case ready for trial.
Your lawyer will begin settlement discussions with the defense as part of the preparation for trial. This process continues throughout the trial and can sometimes last for several years. During this time period, you are recovering from your injuries and determining the severity of your damages. It is in everyone's best interests to settle the matter out of the court and avoid litigation as often as it is possible. Your lawyer will carefully consider the merits of any settlement offer with your current and future recoveries. If the settlement proposal is reasonable, then your attorney will convince you to accept it.
Damages
During the discovery phase, plaintiffs need to show that their losses are significant and that negligence on the part of the defendant has contributed to the damages. For instance, if the doctor failed to inform the patient that a surgery carried a 30 percent chance of losing a limb and the procedure was done correctly but the patient lost their arm, the medical professional may be held accountable for malpractice lawyers.
In order to have a legitimate malpractice lawsuit, the person who is suing must prove that a competent lawyer would have been able to avoid financial loss or at the very least, reduce the amount. This is sometimes referred to the "but for test". Additionally, it is essential to prove that the plaintiff was liable for costs to pursue a successful legal claim which are over the amount of compensation sought.
Our medical malpractice lawyers can provide a detailed explanation of the various types of damages that could be sustained in a malpractice lawsuit including the past, present and future medical expenses, lost income, suffering and other non-economic losses. The higher the award, the more serious injury. A successful verdict may be overturned by an appeal. So, settling outside of court can be a viable alternative for some clients. It can save time and money in costs for litigation, as well as avoiding the risk of having a jury judge cases on the basis of emotion instead of facts.
