Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys have a fiduciary connection with their clients and are expected to act with diligence, care and expertise. But, as with all professionals, attorneys make mistakes.
The mistakes made by an attorney can be considered legal malpractice. To prove negligence in a legal sense, the aggrieved must show obligation, breach of obligation, causation, as well as damages. Let's examine each of these elements.
Duty
Medical professionals and doctors swear to apply their education and expertise to treat patients and not to cause harm to others. Duty of care is the basis for a patient's right to compensation if they are injured by medical malpractice. Your lawyer can help determine if your doctor's actions violated the duty of care, and whether those breaches caused harm or illness to your.
To establish a duty of care, your lawyer must to show that a medical professional has a legal relationship with you in which they had a fiduciary obligation to act with a reasonable level of skill and care. This relationship can be established by eyewitness testimony, physician-patient reports and expert testimony from doctors with similar educational, experience and training.
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 field. This is often called negligence. Your lawyer will be able to compare what the defendant did with what a reasonable individual would do in the same situation.
Your lawyer must also prove that the defendant's negligence directly contributed to your loss or injury. This is known as causation. Your attorney will rely on evidence such as your doctor-patient records, witness statements and expert testimony to show that the defendant's inability to live up to the standard of care in your case was a direct cause of your injury or loss.
Breach
A doctor malpractice lawsuit has a responsibility of care to his patients which reflects professional medical standards. If a doctor fails meet these standards and this results in injury, then medical malpractice and negligence may occur. Expert testimony from medical professionals who have similar training, certificates, skills and experience can help determine the appropriate level of care in a given situation. State and federal laws and institute policies also help determine what doctors are required to do for specific types of patients.
To prevail in a malpractice lawsuit, it must be shown that the doctor breached his or duty of care and that this breach was the direct cause of injury. This is referred to in legal terms as the causation element, and it is imperative that it be established. If a physician has to take an x-ray of an injured arm, they must place the arm in a casting and correctly set it. If the doctor was unable to complete the procedure and the patient was left with an unavoidable loss of use of that arm, then malpractice could have occurred.
Causation
Attorney malpractice claims are based on evidence that shows the attorney's errors caused financial losses to the client. For example, if a lawyer fails to file an action within the timeframe of limitations, leading to the case being lost forever the party who suffered damages could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
It's important to recognize that not all mistakes by lawyers are considered to be malpractice. Strategies and mistakes do not typically constitute malpractice, and attorneys have a lot of latitude to make judgment calls as long as they are reasonable.
The law also allows lawyers considerable latitude to not perform discovery for a client in the event that the error was not unreasonable or a result of negligence. The failure to discover crucial details or documents, such as medical reports or witness statements can be a case of legal malpractice. Other instances of malpractice include the failure to include certain defendants or claims, like not noticing a survival count in wrongful death cases or the inability to communicate with clients.
It is also important to remember the necessity for the plaintiff to prove that, if not for the lawyer's careless conduct, they could have won their case. The plaintiff's claim for malpractice is deemed invalid when it isn't proven. This makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. It's crucial to hire an experienced attorney.
Damages
To win a legal malpractice lawsuit plaintiffs must show financial losses resulting from the actions of the attorney. This should be proved in a lawsuit through evidence such as expert testimony, correspondence between client and attorney along with billing records and other documents. In addition the plaintiff has to prove that a reasonable lawyer could have prevented the damage caused by the negligence of the attorney. This is known as proximate cause.
Malpractice can manifest in a number of different ways. Some of the most common malpractices include: failing the deadline or statute of limitations; failing to perform an examination of a conflict on an issue; applying the law improperly to a client's circumstances; and breaching the fiduciary obligation (i.e. commingling trust account funds with personal attorney accounts) or a mishandling of the case, or not communicating with clients.
In most medical malpractice cases, the plaintiff will seek compensation damages. The compensations pay for out-of-pocket expenses as well as expenses such as hospital and medical bills, equipment costs to aid recovery, and lost wages. In addition, victims can claim non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment life, and emotional distress.
In many legal malpractice cases, there are claims for punitive and malpractice lawsuit compensatory damages. The former is intended to compensate victims for losses caused by the negligence of the attorney while the latter is designed to discourage future malpractice on the defendant's part.
