Medical Malpractice Litigation
Medical malpractice lawsuits are complex and time-consuming. Both defendants and plaintiffs are also obliged to pay a significant cost.
In order to receive compensation for negligence, a patient must demonstrate that the substandard medical treatment he received led to his injury. This requires establishing four legal elements such as a professional obligation and breach of that duty inflicting injury, and the resulting damages.
Discovery
The most important aspect of a medical negligence lawsuit is the gathering of evidence. This can be done through written interrogatories and requests for documents. Interrogatories require to be answered under swearing by the opponent to the lawsuit and are used to establish the facts needed to be used in trial. Requests for documents to be produced permit tangible items to be retrieved like medical records or test results.
In many cases, your attorney will record the deposition of the defendant physician, which is an audio recording of questions and answers. This allows your lawyer to ask the physician or witness questions that would not be allowed during trial. It is extremely efficient in cases involving expert witnesses.
The information you gather during pretrial discovery is used in court to prove the following components of your claim:
Breach of the standard of care
Injuries caused by a breach of the standard of care
Proximate causation
A doctor's inability to use the level of competence and expertise of doctors in their field, and that caused injury or injury to the patient
Mediation
Although medical malpractice trials are often required, they do have some significant drawbacks for both parties. The stress, expense and time commitment that a trial requires can have a negative impact on plaintiffs. For health professionals who are defendants trials can result in humiliation and loss of prestige. It can also cause negative effects on their practice and career because the financial settlements made in a pre-trial settlement are typically reported to national practitioner databanks as well as state medical licensing boards, and medical malpractice law Firm societies.
Mediation is a cost-effective, time-efficient, and risk-effective method to settle a medical malpractice case. The parties are able to negotiate more freely as they don't have the cost of a trial and the risk of the verdicts of juries to be undermined.
Before mediation, both parties provide the mediator with an outline of the facts of the case (a "mediation brief"). Parties will usually allow their communication to go through their lawyer, rather than directly between themselves at this point since direct communications could be used against them later on in court. As the mediation progresses it is recommended to focus on the strengths of your case, and also be prepared to acknowledge its weaknesses, as well. This will enable the mediator to solve any gaps in understanding and make reasonable offers.
Trial
Tort reformers are working to establish a system that will compensate those who have been injured by negligence of doctors quickly and without excessive costs. Many states have adopted tort reform measures to reduce costs and to stop frivolous claims for medical malpractice.
Most physicians in the United States carry malpractice insurance to protect themselves against allegations of professional negligence in medical cases. Some of these policies are required as a condition of hospital privileges or work in a medical group.
In order to be able to claim an amount of money for injuries sustained by the negligence of a medical professional, an injured patient must prove that the doctor failed to meet the standard of care that is applicable in the field of expertise they practice. This is known as proximate causation, and is an important element of a medical malpractice case.
A lawsuit starts when the civil summons is filed with the court of your choice. Once this has been completed the parties must then engage in a process of disclosure. This involves written interrogatories and the production of documents like medical records. Depositions (in which attorneys ask deponents under oath), and requests for admission are also involved.
The burden of proof in medical malpractice cases is extremely heavy and the damages awarded will take into consideration the economic losses that are actual such as lost income and the cost of future medical treatments and noneconomic losses such as pain and suffering. It is crucial to work with a seasoned attorney when pursuing a medical malpractice claim.
Settlement
Medical malpractice lawsuits are resolved through settlement. In general, the actual dollar value of a case is negotiated between the plaintiff and the defendants (often through or alongside the defendant's malpractice/professional liability insurer). The victim is awarded an amount of money and it is given to the plaintiff's lawyer, who then deposits it into an Escrow account. The attorney then deducts case expenses and legal fees per the representation agreement, and gives the injured patient their compensation.
In order to prevail in a medical malpractice case, the patient who is suffering from it must demonstrate that a doctor or other healthcare professional had a duty to care, and then violated the duty by failing to exercise the requisite degree of knowledge and competence in their field, and that in the proximate consequence of the breach, the victim suffered injury, and that such damages are quantifiable by the amount of money lost.
The United States has a system of 94 federal district courts, which are essentially state trial courts, and each court has jurors and a judge that hears cases. In certain situations cases, medical negligence can be transferred to one of these federal district courts. Physicians in the United States typically carry medical malpractice insurance to safeguard themselves from claims of unintentional harm or wrongdoing. Physicians need to understand the structure and workings of our legal system in order to react appropriately if a claim is brought against them.
