Medical Malpractice Litigation
Medical malpractice lawsuits are complex and time-consuming. It is also costly for both the plaintiff and the defendant.
To be able to claim monetary compensation in a malpractice lawsuit, an injured patient must show that substandard medical treatment led to injury. This requires establishing four pillars of law which include professional obligation, breach of that duty, injury and resulting damages.
Discovery
The most important aspect of a medical negligence lawsuit is gathering evidence. This can be done through written interrogatories or requests for documents. Interrogatories consist of questions that the opposing side must answer under oath. They can be used for establishing the facts to be presented in court. Demands for the production of documents allow for tangible items to be retrieved for example, medical records or test results.
In many cases, your attorney will take the defendant physician's deposition that is a recorded question and answer session. This permits your attorney to ask the doctor or witnesses questions that would not be allowed at trial. It can be extremely effective in cases with expert witnesses.
The information you gather during discovery before trial will be used to prove your case at trial.
Infraction to the standard of care
Injuries resulting from a breach of the standards of care
Proximate causation
Inability of a doctor to apply the knowledge and skills held by doctors in their field and which resulted in injury or injury to the patient
Mediation
Medical malpractice trials are necessary but they also have many disadvantages. For plaintiffs who are facing a lawsuit, the stress, expense and the time commitment associated with a trial can cause psychological harm on them. Trials can result in humiliation and a loss of respect for health professionals who are defendants. It can also result in negative consequences for their work and career as the financial payments that are made as part of a pretrial settlement are usually reported to national databanks for practitioners as well as state medical licensing boards, and medical societies.
Mediation is a cheaper and time-efficient method of settling a medical malpractice case. The parties can negotiate more freely since they don't have the cost of a trial, and the risk of juror verdicts to be eroded.
Both parties must provide an overview of the situation to the mediator prior mediation (a "mediation short"). The parties typically let their communications go through their lawyer rather than directly between themselves at this point because direct communications could be used against them later in court. As the mediation progresses it is best to concentrate on the strengths of your case, and be prepared to admit its weaknesses as well. This will assist the mediator to solve any gaps in understanding and offer you a reasonable offer.
Trial
The goal of reformers working on torts is to establish an insurance system that compensates people who are injured by physician negligence quickly and at a reasonable cost. While this isn't easy, many states have implemented tort reform measures to cut costs and stop frivolous medical malpractice claims.
The majority of doctors in the United States carry malpractice insurance to safeguard themselves from claims of professional negligence medical instances. Certain of these policies could be required by a hospital or medical group to be a condition of privileges.
To be eligible for monetary compensation for injuries caused by negligence of a medical professional, an injured patient must prove that the doctor did not meet the applicable standard of care in the area of expertise he or she practices. This is referred to as proximate cause, and is an important part of a medical malpractice lawsuit.
A lawsuit begins with the filing of a civil summons and complaint in the court of your choice. After this the parties must both engage in a process of disclosure. This involves written interrogatories and the production of documents such as medical records. Depositions (in which attorneys challenge deponents under oath) and requests for admission are also involved.
The burden of proof in the case of medical malpractice is very high and the damages awarded will take into consideration the economic losses that are actual like lost income, the cost of future medical care and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. It is essential to partner with a skilled attorney when pursuing a medical malpractice claim.
Settlement
Medical malpractice lawsuits are settled 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 injured patient receives an amount of money, which is paid to the plaintiff lawyer, who deposits it in an account for escrow. The lawyer will then deduct the case costs and legal fees according to the representation agreement, and provides the injured person with payment.
In order to win a medical malpractice case, the patient who is suffering from it must demonstrate that a doctor or other healthcare provider was bound by a duty of care, but breached the duty by failing to use the appropriate degree of knowledge and skill in their field, and that as a proximate result of that breach, the patient suffered injuries, and that those injuries are measurable in terms of monetary losses.
In the United States, there are 94 federal district court systems which are similar to state trial courts. Each of these courts has an ad hoc jury and judge panel, which hears cases. In some instances the case of medical malpractice may be moved to one of these courts. In the United States, physicians carry medical malpractice insurance as a way to safeguard themselves against claims of injury that was not intended. Physicians must be aware of the structure and operation of our legal system in order to be able to react appropriately in the event of there is a case brought against them.
