Medical Malpractice Lawsuits

Attorneys have a fiduciary responsibilities to their clients and they must act with diligence, skill and care. But, as with all professionals, attorneys make mistakes.

The mistakes made by an attorney are considered to be malpractice. To demonstrate legal malpractice, an aggrieved party must show obligation, breach, causation and damage. Let's take a look at each of these elements.

Duty-Free

Doctors and other medical professionals swear to use their education and skills to cure patients and not to cause harm to others. The duty of care is the basis for a patient's right to compensation if they are injured by medical malpractice. Your attorney can determine if your doctor's actions violated the duty to care and whether these violations resulted in injury or illness.

Your lawyer must establish that the medical professional owed you the duty of a fiduciary to perform with reasonable skill and care. Proving that this relationship existed could require evidence like the records of your doctor-patient, eyewitness statements and experts from doctors with similar knowledge, experience, and education.

Your lawyer will also have to prove that the medical professional breached their duty of care by not living up to the accepted standards of practice in their field. This is often referred to as negligence. Your lawyer will assess the conduct of the defendant to what a reasonable person would perform in the same situation.

Your lawyer must also prove that the defendant's breach directly caused your loss or injury. This is referred to as causation, and your lawyer will make use of evidence such as your doctor-patient documents, witness statements, and expert testimony to demonstrate that the defendant's inability to live up to the standard of care in your case was a direct cause of your loss or malpractice lawsuit injury.

Breach

A doctor is bound by a duty of treatment to his patients that is in line with professional medical standards. If a physician fails to adhere to these standards and this causes injury, then medical malpractice and negligence could occur. Typically, expert testimony from medical professionals with similar training, skills, certifications and experience will help determine what the standard of medical care should be in a particular situation. Federal and state laws, as well as policies of the institute, help define what doctors are required to do for certain kinds of patients.

To prevail in a malpractice lawsuit, it must be shown that the doctor breached his or duty of care and that the breach was a direct cause of injury. In legal terms, this is known as the causation factor and it is crucial that it is established. If a doctor is required to perform an x-ray on a broken arm, they must place the arm in a cast and then correctly place it. If the doctor fails to do this and the patient suffers a permanent loss in the use of their arm, malpractice may be at play.

Causation

Attorney malpractice claims are founded on the evidence that a lawyer made mistakes that caused financial losses for the client. For example, if a lawyer does not file a lawsuit within the prescribed time of limitations, leading to the case being lost forever the party who suffered damages could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.

It's important to recognize that not all errors made by attorneys are malpractice. Planning and strategy errors are not typically considered to be malpractice. Attorneys have a wide decision-making discretion to make decisions, as long as they're able to make them in a reasonable manner.

Likewise, the law gives attorneys a lot of discretion to conduct discovery on behalf of a client's behalf, as in the event that it is not unreasonable or negligent. Failing to discover important information or documents, such as medical reports or statements of witnesses, is a potential example of legal malpractice. Other examples of malpractice law firms are the failure to include certain defendants or claims, like the mistake of not remembering a survival number for a wrongful-death case, or the repeated failure to communicate with clients.

It's also important to note that it has to be proven that but the negligence of the lawyer the plaintiff would have won the case. Otherwise, the plaintiff's claim for malpractice will be rejected. This makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. It's crucial to hire an experienced attorney.

Damages

A plaintiff must show that the attorney's actions caused actual financial losses to prevail in a legal malpractice suit. This has to be demonstrated in a lawsuit through evidence like expert testimony, correspondence between client and attorney as well as billing records and other documents. In addition the plaintiff has to prove that a reasonable lawyer would have prevented the harm caused by the negligence of the attorney. This is referred to as proximate causation.

The causes of malpractice vary. Some of the most common types of malpractice include the failure to meet a deadline, such as the statute of limitations, a failure to perform a conflict check or any other due diligence on the case, not applying law to a client's circumstance or breaking a fiduciary duty (i.e. Commingling funds from a trust account an attorney's account as well as failing to communicate with the client are just a few examples of misconduct.

In the majority of medical malpractice cases the plaintiff is seeking compensatory damages. These damages compensate the victim for the cost of out-of-pocket expenses and losses such as medical and hospitals bills, the cost of equipment to aid in recovery and lost wages. Victims may also claim non-economic damages, such as pain and discomfort and loss of enjoyment their lives, as well as emotional stress.

Legal malpractice cases often involve claims for compensatory and punitive damages. The first compensates the victim for the losses caused by negligence on the part of the attorney and the latter is intended to deter future malpractice by the defendant's side.
