Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys have a fiduciary responsibilities to their clients, and they must behave with skill, diligence and care. Attorneys make mistakes just like any other professional.
A mistake made by an attorney constitutes negligence. To prove legal negligence the aggrieved party must prove the duty, breach of duty, causation, and damage. Let's look at each of these elements.
Duty-Free
Medical professionals and doctors swear the oath of using their skills and experience to treat patients, and not cause additional harm. The legal right of a patient to compensation for injuries sustained from medical malpractice rests on the concept of duty of care. Your attorney can determine if the actions of your doctor breached the duty of care and if these breaches resulted in injury or illness.
To establish a duty of care, your lawyer will need to establish that a medical professional has an legal relationship with you in which they owed you a fiduciary responsibility to perform their duties with an acceptable level of skill and care. To prove that the relationship existed, you may require evidence, such as the records of your doctor-patient eyewitness accounts and expert testimony from doctors who have similar knowledge, experience, and education.
Your lawyer will also need to establish that the medical professional breached their duty of care by failing to adhere to the accepted standards in their area of expertise. This is often called negligence, and your attorney will evaluate the defendant's conduct to what a reasonable person would do in the same circumstance.
Your lawyer must also prove that the defendant's breach led directly to your loss or injury. This is referred to as causation. Your lawyer will make use of evidence like your medical or patient records, witness testimony and expert testimony, to demonstrate that the defendant's failure adhere to the standard of care was the sole cause of injury or loss to you.
Breach
A doctor has a responsibility of care for his patients that corresponds to professional medical standards. If a doctor fails meet these standards and fails to do so results in injury, medical malpractice or negligence could occur. Expert evidence from medical professionals who have similar training, certificates and skills can help determine the quality of care in a particular situation. State and federal laws and institute policies also help define what doctors must perform for specific types of patients.
To prevail in a malpractice lawsuit it must be proven that the doctor violated his or their duty of care, and that this breach was the direct cause of an injury. In legal terms, this is known as the causation component, and it is essential that it is established. For instance, if a broken arm requires an xray, the doctor has to properly place the arm and put it in a cast to ensure proper healing. If the doctor was unable to do this and the patient suffered an irreparable loss of use of that arm, then malpractice may have occurred.
Causation
Attorney malpractice claims rely on evidence that shows the attorney's errors caused financial losses to the client. For instance, if a lawyer does not file a lawsuit within the prescribed time of limitations, which results in the case being lost for ever and the victim could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
It's important to know that not all mistakes made by attorneys are considered to be malpractice attorneys. Errors involving strategy and planning do not typically constitute malpractice, and attorneys have lots of freedom to make decisions based on their judgments as long as they are reasonable.
The law also gives attorneys the right to conduct discovery on the behalf of their clients, as long as it was not unreasonable or negligent. Legal malpractice can be committed through the failure to uncover important documents or facts, such as medical reports or witness statements. Other examples of malpractice are the failure to add certain defendants or claims, such as forgetting a survival count for the case of wrongful death, or the repeated failure to communicate with clients.
It is also important to remember the fact that the plaintiff has to show that if it wasn't for the lawyer's careless conduct they would have prevailed. 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 is important to employ an experienced attorney.
Damages
In order to prevail in a legal malpractice lawsuit the plaintiff must show actual financial losses incurred by an attorney's actions. In the case of a lawsuit this has to be proven through evidence, such as expert testimony and correspondence between the attorney and client. In addition the plaintiff must demonstrate that a reasonable lawyer would have avoided the harm caused by the negligence of the attorney. This is known as the proximate cause.
Malpractice occurs in many ways. Some of the most common mistakes are: failing to meet a deadline or statute of limitations; failing to conduct a conflict check on an issue; applying the law incorrectly to a client's particular situation; and breaking the fiduciary obligation (i.e. the commingling of funds from a trust account an attorney's account, mishandling a case and failing to communicate with the client are just a few examples of misconduct.
In the majority of medical malpractice law firm cases the plaintiff seeks compensation damages. They are awarded to the victim in exchange for the out-of-pocket expenses and losses, for example hospital and medical bills, the cost of equipment required to aid in recovery, and loss of wages. In addition, the victims can claim non-economic damages, like pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment life and emotional distress.
Legal malpractice cases typically involve claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages. The former compensates victims for losses resulting from the negligence of the attorney, while the latter is intended to discourage future malpractice by the defendant.
