Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys are required to fulfill a fiduciary responsibility to their clients, and they must act with a degree of diligence, skill and care. Attorneys make mistakes just like any other professional.
Every mistake made by an attorney constitutes negligence. To prove legal malpractice, an aggrieved person must demonstrate obligation, breach, causation and damages. Let's look at each of these elements.
Duty
Medical professionals and doctors take an oath to use their skill and training to cure patients, not cause additional harm. A patient's legal right to be compensated for injuries sustained from medical malpractice rests on the concept of the duty of care. Your lawyer can help determine if your doctor's actions breached this duty of care, and whether these breaches resulted in harm or illness to your.
To prove a duty of care, your lawyer will need to demonstrate that a medical professional had an legal relationship with you and owed you a fiduciary responsibility to act with a reasonable level of expertise and care. The proof of this relationship may require evidence, such as the records of your doctor-patient or eyewitness testimony, as well as expert testimony from doctors with similar knowledge, experience, and education.
Your lawyer will also need to show that the medical professional breached their duty of caring by failing to follow the accepted standards in their field. This is usually known as negligence. Your lawyer will be able to compare what the defendant did to what a reasonable individual would do in a similar situation.
Your lawyer must also show that the breach of the defendant's duty directly caused your loss or injury. This is known as causation. Your lawyer will make use of evidence like your medical documents, witness statements and expert testimony to show that the defendant's failure to adhere to the standards of care in your case was a direct cause of your injury or loss.
Breach
A doctor has a responsibility of care for his patients that reflects professional medical standards. If a doctor fails to meet these standards and that failure causes injury, then medical malpractice and negligence may occur. Typically experts' testimony from medical professionals who have the same training, qualifications, certifications and experience will help determine what the standard of medical care should be in a specific situation. Federal and state laws, as well as policies of the institute, help define what doctors are required to do for certain types of patients.
To prevail in a malpractice lawsuit, it must be proven that the doctor violated his or her duty to care and that the breach was a direct reason for an injury. In legal terms, this is referred to as the causation factor and it is vital that it is established. If a doctor needs to conduct an x-ray examination of an injured arm, they must place the arm in a cast and then correctly place it. If the physician failed to complete the procedure and the patient suffered permanent loss of use of that arm, then malpractice could have occurred.
Causation
Lawyer malpractice claims are based on evidence that the attorney committed mistakes that caused financial losses to the client. For example the lawyer does not file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations, resulting in the case being lost for ever the party who suffered damages could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
It is important to recognize that not all mistakes made by lawyers constitute malpractice. Planning and strategy errors are not typically considered to be negligence. Attorneys have a broad choice of discretion when it comes to making decisions, as long as they're in the right place.
The law also grants attorneys considerable latitude to not perform discovery on behalf of clients, so long as the error was not unreasonable or a case of negligence. Inability to find important documents or facts like medical reports or witness statements could be a sign of legal malpractice. Other examples of malpractice are the inability to add certain defendants or claims, like the mistake of not remembering a survival number for the case of wrongful death or the constant failure to communicate with clients.
It is also important to remember that it must be proven that, if not for the lawyer's negligence, the plaintiff would have won the case. In the event that it is not, the plaintiff's claim for malpractice will be rejected. This requirement makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. It's crucial to hire an experienced attorney.
Damages
A plaintiff must demonstrate that the attorney's actions have caused actual financial losses to prevail in a legal malpractice suit. This has to be demonstrated in a lawsuit by utilizing evidence such as expert testimony, correspondence between the client and attorney as well as billing records and other records. In addition the plaintiff must show that a reasonable lawyer could have prevented the damage caused by the attorney's negligence. This is known as proximate cause.
Malpractice can manifest in a number of different ways. Some of the most common mistakes are: failing to meet a deadline or statute of limitations; not performing an investigation into a conflict in a case; applying the law incorrectly to a client's situation; or breaking an obligation of fiduciary (i.e. commingling trust account funds with personal attorney accounts) and mishandling an instance, and not communicating with clients.
Medical malpractice lawsuits typically involve claims for compensation damages. These compensate the victim for the out-of-pocket expenses and losses, including medical and hospital bills, costs of equipment needed to aid in healing, as well as lost wages. Additionally, victims may seek non-economic damages, like suffering and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life and emotional distress.
In a lot of legal malpractice cases, there are cases for punitive and compensatory damages. The former compensates the victim for the losses caused by the negligence of the attorney, while the latter is intended to deter future malpractice law firms by the defendant.
