Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation
The process of bringing a malpractice lawsuit is a complex procedure. If a person can prove four elements, it will decide whether or not the error is malpractice. These are the following: a professional obligation or breach of that obligation; a repercussion from this breach; and quantifiable damage.
Plaintiffs must also prove the elements by using evidence such as expert testimony and depositions.
Incorrect diagnosis or failure to diagnose
Failure to correctly diagnose an injury or illness accurately could lead to serious complications, or death. It is a typical cause of medical negligence. To prove negligence, the patient or their attorney must show that a competent doctor under similar circumstances and working in the same area would not have misdiagnosed the problem.
Every misdiagnosis can be considered to be negligence, but. Even highly trained and experienced doctors make mistakes, so a claim of malpractice must be backed by other elements such as breach, proximate causation and actual injury. If a doctor fails to sterilize his equipment prior to giving anesthesia, and the patient becomes infected because of this, the doctor might be held accountable.
In most instances, lawsuits claiming malpractice will be filed in the state trial court where the alleged error occurred. Federal courts may however have jurisdiction in certain situations. For example, a claim may be brought in federal court in the event of disputes over a statute of limitations or if there is a substantial diversity of citizenship of the parties involved in the case. Some claims can be resolved through binding arbitration that is voluntary. This is a less formal procedure with professional decision makers. It is intended to save costs, speed up legal proceedings and remove the risk of overly generous juries. However, arbitration is not available for all claims of malpractice.
The wrong dosage of medication
Medication mistakes, also referred to as medication errors, are one of the main causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. These errors can be caused by a physician submitting prescriptions in a wrong format or giving the patient the wrong dosage. These errors are often preventable. According to the situation the pharmacy, hospital or other health care provider could be held responsible for injuries caused by a patient who was given the wrong dose of a medication.
A doctor might prescribe the wrong medication because of a misdiagnosis. Or, simply misreading the prescription. A health care provider can also administer the incorrect dosage because of a glitch in communication. For example nurses may interpret a doctor's prescription incorrectly or a pharmacist may make an error when filling the prescription. In other cases, the physician may delay the proper medication, which could lead to the patient's condition getting worse.
In order to be successful in a malpractice lawsuit, a victim must prove that the medical professional breached their standard of care, and that the negligence directly contributed to their injuries. This requires medical expert testimony. Furthermore, a medical negligence case must prove the extent of the victim's injuries as well as the damages they suffered as a result of the negligence. This includes the costs of treatment for a patient and any lost wages. The greater the loss the greater the value of the claim.
The wrong procedure
It's not likely that medical professionals would carry out the wrong procedure on a patient, however, this kind of thing can occur. A surgeon who commits this mistake can be held liable for malpractice. However those who are injured due to a surgical error could also be held responsible for any negligence that occurred along the path to the procedure.
A health professional accused of malpractice must demonstrate that the patient was injured due to an act or inability to perform the act. To establish this the legal team of the patient must demonstrate that: (1) the doctor was in the obligation to provide medical care or treatment; (2) that the doctor breached this duty; (3) that there is a direct and causal connection between the breach and the injury; and (4) that the injury causes damages that the legal system could be able to address.
A breach of duty of care is no significance unless it results in injury. This is the reason why medical malpractice cases are typically dependent on the lawful doctrine "res ipsa locquitur" which states that certain injuries are so obvious that they can only be explained through negligence.
Depending on the circumstances of the situation, the plaintiff (the patient or their legally designated representative) or their attorney can make the claim in a state or federal court. The majority of malpractice cases are filed in state court, but under certain circumstances, a medical malpractice lawsuit can be brought in federal district court.
Wrong Surgery
Surgery performed on the wrong site is a very rare error, but it could be considered medical negligence if the procedure is performed on the wrong side of the body. This type of error usually occurs as caused by a lack of communication between members of a surgical team or production pressure that results in a surgeon being assigned multiple surgeries at one time. In these cases, the surgeon is not the only one with responsibility for an incorrect-site procedure because there is the legal principle known as "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the effect of the error speaks for itself and cannot be traced to negligence.
If someone is injured during an improper procedure and is injured, they may need additional procedures to correct problems that were aggravated due to the error. Patients and their families are left with high medical bills. It is important to keep these costs in mind when calculating the financial burden of medical malpractice claims.
Surgeons are usually found to be responsible for surgical mistakes since they are the ones who are accountable for making preparations for the operation, double-checking the patient's chart and medical records, communicating effectively with the other members of the medical team and making sure that the incision has been placed at the right place. In certain instances the hospital or anesthesiologist can also be held liable. Medical malpractice claims are usually filed in state courts. However, in certain situations, they can be transferred to federal courts.
