How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
Medical malpractice cases can be complex. Fortunately, an experienced attorney can help you understand your legal rights and navigate through this complicated procedure.
To file a claim for medical malpractice you must prove that your doctor or a healthcare professional violated their duty of care towards you. This breach led to a negative legal outcome for you, such as an unfavorable medical result or financial loss.
Birth defects
A parent's excitement at the birth of their child is unmatched. However, it's also a time when medical issues could arise. These can include issues related to birth defects, such as cleft lips and missing limbs or congenital heart disease, as well as muscular dystrophy. If negligence by a doctor during pregnancy or birth caused these conditions, you could be able to file a malpractice claim.
Birth defects can be caused by many reasons, including exposure to prescription medications or environmental factors that cause toxic chemicals and prenatal care problems. The physician's responsibility to ensure the well-being and health of the mother and fetus is to conduct proper screening tests, detecting and treating any abnormalities that may occur during pregnancy and conducting the appropriate tests for screening.
Medical experts must determine if negligence by a doctor caused fatal injury or death as a result of not diagnosing or treating the condition. To establish negligence, a medical professional must examine the standard of medical care that a doctor would have followed in similar circumstances. The expert has to prove that the doctor's negligence was different from this standard and thereby caused the injury or death.
It is important to speak to any eyewitnesses and collect evidence at the scene of the accident. This includes witnesses at the hospital and other patients, their families, nurses, and more. Also, you must take photos of the injuries that your child sustained to demonstrate how severe they were.
Maternal deaths
Every year, between 700 and 900 women die of complications arising from pregnancy or childbirth. This is a staggering number particularly in a first-world country like the United States. USA Today recently reported that many of these deaths could have been prevented by better medical care in hospitals.
Some of the main causes for maternal deaths are obstetric emergencies, such as massive blood loss during delivery or hemorrhage afterwards, and existing diseases such as diabetes and obesity, which affect childbirth and pregnancy. However doctors also have a duty to observe and take care of warning signs, like high blood pressure which could cause the deadly condition known as preeclampsia. Preeclampsia can lead to a premature separation from the placenta and seizures. It may cause a life-threatening condition called HELLP Syndrome.
Medical malpractice lawsuits involving obstetrics and gynecology are some of the most frequently filed lawsuits filed in the United States. In a malpractice case, the plaintiff must prove that a healthcare provider violated an accepted standard of care, causing the plaintiff to suffer injury or die. The legal community defines the standard of care, which differs from one state to another. Despite the numerous malpractice cases, the majority of them settlements are not subject to trial. Settlements are typically reached through direct negotiations between the parties and typically requires the assistance of an impartial third party like mediators (often retired judges or attorneys). Medical malpractice lawsuit suits aren't an instant way to oust doctors from practice either.
Injuries from surgery
Even though medical advancements have drastically decreased the chance of adverse results, they can occur. When they do, they typically result in serious injuries. These injuries are not only uncomfortable and painful, but they can also lead to expensive corrective procedures, high medical expenses long recovery times, or even death.
Not all surgical errors are negligence. To prove a claim, it must be established that a healthcare professional did not adhere to the standard of care during an operation and this failure resulted in injuries. A case of medical malpractice include:
The term "wrong-site" surgery means that the surgeon operates on a different body part than intended leaving a scalpel sponge, or any other item inside of a patient; injuring or nicking an organ or nerve; infection caused by unclean or sanitized equipment, and more.
A surgical error lawsuit is a complicated matter, so you should always seek out the assistance from an experienced attorney who is knowledgeable about medical malpractice. You should also document any injuries, including photos and take notes of any details you think could be relevant to the claim. A surgical error lawsuit can take several years to settle, but it's worth it if your doctor made a error that resulted in injury. This is especially true if your injuries are serious and have a significant impact on your ability to live.
Wrongful death
Losing a loved one can be extremely stressful. However, if the death is caused by the negligence of someone else the experience can be extremely painful. According to the laws of your state it is possible to make a claim against the party to recover damages for your loss.
A wrongful death is different from a medical malpractice case because it is a matter of the life of a person, rather than their health. This is why the level of proof is higher - it must be proven beyond the reasonable doubt that the loved one's death was the result of the negligence of another person.
For instance, her husband passed away from lung cancer that was missed on an x-ray. The cause of his death was the doctor's failure to monitor the patient's symptoms and to perform an MRI when the patient was experiencing difficulty breathing. The resulting delay in treatment allowed the tumor to grow and cause irreparable harm.
In this instance family members of the patient can pursue a claim for wrongful death against the hospital and doctor. The type of damages you are able to claim depends on the laws in your state, just like the medical malpractice case. They can cover economic and non-economic damages, including funeral expenses and loss of consortium and discomfort and pain prior to the death of the victim. Punitive damages may be sought in wrongful death cases. This amount isn't covered in all cases, but it's an option if the death of the victim was particularly inexplicably egregious or as a result of multiple mistakes.
