Common Causes of Malpractice Litigation

The process of bringing a malpractice lawsuit is a complex procedure. If a patient can prove four factors, it will determine whether or not the error is a case of malpractice. These are the following: a professional obligation and a breach of that duty; an injury resulting from this breach; and measurable damage.

Plaintiffs must also prove the facts using evidence such as expert testimony and depositions.

Undiagnosed or Incorrectly Diagnosed

Failure to identify an injury or illness in a timely manner can result in serious complications, or even death. It is a typical reason for medical negligence. To prove negligence the patient or their lawyer must demonstrate that a competent doctor in similar circumstances and working in the same field would not have missed the diagnosis.

Every misdiagnosis can be considered to be malpractice, however. Even the most experienced and highly trained doctors make mistakes, and the claim of malpractice must be supported by other factors like breach, proximate causation, and actual injury. For instance when a doctor does not take the time to sterilize their equipment prior to administering anesthesia to a patient and they develop an infection as a result the doctor malpractice lawsuit may be liable for malpractice.

In most instances, lawsuits claiming malpractice will be filed in the state trial court where the malpractice attorney was alleged to have occurred. However, federal courts may have jurisdiction under limited circumstances. A claim can be brought before a federal court in certain circumstances. For example, it may involve the issue of the statute of limitations or in the event that the parties have different citizenships. Additionally, some cases are resolved through binding arbitration that is voluntary. This is a less formal process which involves professionals who make the decisions. It is designed to minimize expenses, speed up the legal proceedings, and eliminate the risk that comes with large juries. However, arbitration is not accessible for all claims of malpractice.

The wrong dosage of medication

Medication errors, also known as medication mistakes, are one of the most common causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. They can be caused by a physician prescribing a prescription in error or giving the wrong dosage to the patient. These errors are typically preventable. In certain circumstances, a hospital or its staff, pharmacist or other health care professionals may be held liable for the injuries sustained by a patient who was given the wrong dose of medication.

A doctor might prescribe the wrong medication because of a misdiagnosis or by simply making a mistake in the prescription. A health care provider may also prescribe the wrong dosage because of an interruption in communication for example, when a nurse reads the handwritten prescription of a doctor incorrectly or the pharmacist makes an error in filling out the prescription. In other instances the doctor may delay delivering the correct medication, which could cause the patient's illness to worsening.

In order to be successful in a malpractice lawsuit, a victim must establish that the medical professional violated their standards of care and that the negligence directly caused their injuries. This requires testimony from a medical expert. Medical malpractice cases also must prove the severity and damage of the victim's injuries. This includes the cost of treatment as well as any lost wage. Generally, the greater a person's losses are in the greater value of the claim will be.

Unskillful Procedure

It may seem impossible that medical professionals would carry out the wrong procedure on a patient, but this type of incident does occur. If a surgeon makes this kind of error could be held liable for negligence. However the patient who is injured due to a surgical error can also be held accountable for any negligence that occurred the path to the procedure.

Any health professional who is accused of misconduct must prove that the patient was harmed by a specific act or omission to act. To prove this the legal team representing the patient must show: (1) that the doctor was required to care for or treat the patient; (2) that he did not fulfill that duty; (3) that a causal link exists between the breach and the injury; and (4) the injury causes damages that the legal system can deal with.

A breach of the duty of care is insignificant unless it causes injury, which is the reason medical malpractice claims are typically built on a legal concept called "res ipsa loquitur." This law says that, in the majority of cases certain injuries are obvious and evident that they cannot be explained except by negligence.

Based on the circumstances depending on the facts, the plaintiff (the person who filed the claim or their legal representative) or their lawyer may decide to file the case in either state or federal court. Most malpractice cases are filed in state court, but under certain circumstances, a medical malpractice lawsuit may be filed in federal district court.

Wrong Surgery

A wrong-site procedure is a rare error, but it may be considered medical negligence if the procedure is performed on the wrong part of the body. This type of error is usually caused by miscommunication between the members of a surgical team or production pressure that results in an individual surgeon being assigned multiple surgeries simultaneously. In these situations, the surgeon is not all-in on his liability for a wrong-site surgery because there is a legal principle called "res ipsa loquitur" which means that the result of the error speaks for itself and can only be attributed to negligence.

If a patient gets injured due to surgery performed on the wrong site it is possible that he or she will require additional procedures to fix problems exacerbated by the surgical mistake. Patients and their family members are left with hefty medical bills. It is essential to take these costs into consideration when calculating the financial impact of medical malpractice attorneys lawsuits.

Most often surgeons are held accountable for surgical mistakes. They are responsible in preparing the patient prior to the procedure, checking the medical records and chart of the patient, communicating with the medical staff, and ensuring that the incision was placed at the right place. In some instances, an anesthesiologist or hospital may also be liable. Medical malpractice lawsuits are usually filed in state courts. However, under certain circumstances they may be transferred to federal court.
