Medical Malpractice Litigation
Medical malpractice litigation can be complex and time-consuming. It is also expensive for both the plaintiff and defendant.
In order to win monetary compensation in a malpractice lawsuit, the injured patient must prove that negligent medical malpractice law firms care caused injury. This requires establishing four legal elements which include professional duty, breach of that duty as well as injury and damages.
Discovery
One of the most crucial aspects of a medical malpractice case is obtaining evidence through written interrogatories and requests for the production of evidence. Interrogatories comprise of questions that the opposing side must answer under oath and are used for establishing the facts to be presented at trial. Requests for documents are used to request tangible documents, such as medical records and test results.
In many cases, your attorney will interview the doctor who is in charge of the defense deposition that is recorded as a question and answer session. This allows your attorney to ask the witness or doctor questions that would not be allowed during trial. It can be very beneficial in cases involving experts as witnesses.
The information collected during pretrial discovery is used during trial to prove the following components of your claim:
Breach of the standard of care
Injuries that result from a violation of the normal care
Proximate cause
Failure of a physician to apply the level of knowledge and skills held by doctors in their field. This resulted in injury or harm to the patient
Mediation
Medical malpractice trials can be necessary, but they also have many drawbacks. The expense, stress and time commitment required by a trial can have a negative impact on plaintiffs. For defendant health care professionals, a trial can result in humiliation as well as a loss of credibility. It could also have negative effects on their career and practice since the financial payments that are made in a pre-trial settlement are typically reported to national practitioner databanks, state medical licensing boards, and medical societies.
Mediation is the most cost-effective, time-efficient and cost-effective method to settle a medical malpractice claim. The parties can negotiate more freely since they do not have the expense of a trial and the potential for jury verdicts to be eroded.
Before mediation, both sides are required to provide the mediator with brief information about the case (a "mediation brief"). The parties usually allow their communication to pass through their lawyer, rather than directly between themselves at this stage because direct communications could be used against them later on in court. If the mediation continues, it's a good idea for you to focus on your case's strengths and be ready to acknowledge your case's weaknesses. This will enable the mediator to overcome any misunderstandings and offer you reasonable offers.
Trial
The goal of tort reformers is to create a system that will compensate those hurt by negligence caused by doctors quickly and without a lot of expense. Many states have implemented tort-reform measures to reduce costs, and stop the filing of frivolous claims for medical malpractice.
The majority of doctors in United States have malpractice insurance as a way of safeguarding themselves from accusations of professional negligence. Some of these policies may be required by a medical or hospital group as a condition of the right to practice.
In order to obtain monetary compensation for injuries caused by the negligence of a medical professional, the victim must establish that the physician didn't meet the standard of care that is applicable in the field of expertise they practice. This is referred to as proximate causation and is an important part of a medical malpractice lawsuit.
A lawsuit begins when the civil summons is filed with the court of your choice. After this is done each party must participate in a process of disclosure. This includes written interrogatories as well as the production of documents, such as medical records. Also, depositions (deponents are interrogated by attorneys under oath) and admission requests which are statements made by one side that the other would like the other to admit, either in full or in part.
The burden of proof in medical malpractice cases is very high and the damages awarded are calculated based on the actual economic loss such as lost earnings and the cost of future medical care and non-economic losses such as suffering and pain. When seeking a compensation claim for medical malpractice, it is essential to work with an experienced lawyer.
Settlement
Settlements are the most commonly used method to settle medical malpractice lawsuits. 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 result is a check for the injured patient, which is given to the lawyer of the plaintiff who deposits it into an account for escrow. The attorney then deducts case costs and legal fees according to the representation agreement, and then gives the injured patient their compensation.
To prevail in a medical malpractice lawsuit, an aggrieved patient must prove that a physician or other healthcare provider owed them a duty of care, but violated this duty by failing exercise the requisite degree of knowledge and expertise in their field, that in the proximate consequence of that breach, the victim suffered injuries, and that those injuries are quantifiable in terms of financial loss.
In the United States, there are 94 federal district court systems which are equivalent to state trial courts. Each of these courts has an ad-hoc jury and judge panel which hears cases. In certain situations the case of medical malpractice may be moved to one of these courts. Physicians in the United States typically carry medical malpractice insurance to protect themselves against claims of intentional harm or wrongdoing. Doctors must be aware of the structure and operation of our legal system in order that they are able to respond in a timely manner to claims made against them.
