Medical Malpractice Litigation

Medical malpractice litigation is complex and time-consuming. Both plaintiffs and defendants are also required to pay a high cost.

In order to win financial compensation in a medical malpractice lawsuit, the injured patient must prove that substandard medical care resulted in injury. This requires establishing four pillars of law that include a professional obligation breach of this obligation, injury and damages.

Discovery

The most important part of a case involving medical negligence is gathering evidence. This can be accomplished through written interrogatories or requests for documents. Interrogatories are questions that need to be answered under swearing by the opponent to the lawsuit and are used to establish facts for presentation at trial. Documents that are requested to be produced permit tangible evidence to be obtained for example, medical records or test results.

In many cases your attorney will record the deposition of the defendant physician in an recorded session of questions and answers. This permits your lawyer to ask the physician or witnesses questions that might not be allowed at trial. It is extremely effective in cases with expert witnesses.

The information collected during discovery before trial will be used to prove your case at trial.

Infraction to the standard of care

Injury resulting from a violation of the standard of care

Proximate causation

Failure of a doctor to use the level of expertise and knowledge held by doctors in their field and that caused injury or injury to the patient

Mediation

Although medical malpractice cases are sometimes essential, they also have major negatives for both parties. For plaintiffs who are facing a lawsuit, the stress, expense and the time commitment associated with a trial can have a negative psychological impact on them. Trials can result in humiliation and a loss of respect for defendant health professionals. It could also have negative effects on their career as well as practice because the monetary payments they receive as part of a settlement prior to trial are reported to national practitioner databases as well as the state medical licensing board, and medical societies.

Mediation is the most cost-effective, efficient, and risk-effective method of resolving the issue of medical malpractice. Parties are able to negotiate more freely as they avoid the costs of a trial and the risk of jury verdicts to be eroded.

Both parties must give an overview of the dispute to the mediator prior mediation (a "mediation brief"). The parties typically let their communications go through their lawyer rather than directly between themselves at this point since direct communications could be used against them later on in court. When the mediation process is in progress it's a good idea to concentrate on your case's strengths, and be prepared to acknowledge its weaknesses. This will enable the mediator to fill any gaps and offer you a reasonable offer.

Trial

Tort reformers are working to establish a system that will compensate those who are injured due to negligence of a physician quickly and with minimal expense. While this is a problem some states have enacted tort reform measures in order to lower costs and stop frivolous medical malpractice claims.

The majority of doctors in the United States have malpractice insurance as a means of protecting themselves from claims of professional negligence. Some of these policies might be required by a hospital or medical group as a condition for permissions.

In order to be able to claim monetary compensation for injuries caused by negligence of a medical professional, an injured patient must prove that the doctor didn't meet the standards of care applicable in his or her area of expertise. This is referred to as proxy causation and is a key element in a medical malpractice case.

A lawsuit starts with the filing of a civil summons as well as a complaint in the appropriate court. After that the parties must both engage in a process of disclosure. This can be done through written interrogatories, and the production of documents, including medical record. Depositions (in which attorneys question deponents under the oath) and requests for admission are also involved.

In a medical malpractice case, the burden of proof is heavy. Damages are determined based on economic losses (such as lost income or the cost of future medical treatments) as well as non-economic damages such as pain and discomfort. It is essential to partner with a skilled attorney when you are pursuing a medical negligence claim.

Settlement

Settlements are the most common way to resolve 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 patient who is injured receives an amount of money that is sent to the plaintiff's lawyer, who deposits it in an Escrow account. The lawyer will then deduct the case costs and legal fees according to the representation agreement, and gives the injured patient their compensation.

In order to prevail in a medical malpractice case, the aggrieved patient has to prove that a physician or other healthcare provider was obligated to them under a duty of care, but breached that duty by failing use the appropriate degree of knowledge and competence in their field, that as a proximate result of the breach, the victim sustained injuries, and that these injuries can be quantified 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 that hears cases. In certain instances cases, medical negligence can be transferred to one of these federal district courts. Physicians in the United States typically carry medical malpractice insurance to guard themselves against claims of unintentional harm or wrongdoing. Physicians should understand the structure and functioning of our legal system to ensure they can respond in a timely manner to claims made against them.
