How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
A patient who discovers that a foreign object, such as surgical clamps, remains in her body following gall bladder surgery could file a medical malpractice lawsuit. A successful claim must establish the legal aspects of medical negligence: duty, deviance from this obligation, direct cause and injury.
It is essential for our clients to establish a direct causal connection between the breach of duty and the resulting injury that is known as proximate causation.
Causes of Injury
A medical malpractice lawsuit can be filed by the person who was injured or a legal representative. Based on the circumstances, it could be the spouse of the patient or an adult child parent, a guardian ad Litem or the administrator or executor of the estate of the deceased patient. The defendant in a medical malpractice lawsuit is the health professional. This could be a doctor, nurse, therapist or any other health professional.
Expert testimony is typically required in cases of malpractice. Medical experts are required to testify whether or not the health care provider adhered to the standards of treatment for their particular area of expertise. They must also testify about the injury caused by the physician's actions or inactions.
Injuries caused by negligence and negligence can be very serious. A misdiagnosis could have grave consequences, like the possibility of a life-threatening illness. Other types of injuries involve operating on the wrong body part or putting surgical instruments in the patient.
In order to prove a malpractice case the patient must prove four legal elements: a duty the doctor owed to them; a breach of this duty; a resultant injury and damages. In certain states, such as New York, the law puts a limit on amount that can be awarded for a malpractice claim.
Causation
The injury element is also called the causation. It is one of most crucial elements in a medical malpractice claim. To establish causation, the plaintiff must prove that the injury was the result of the doctor's negligence. This can be a challenging job due to a variety of reasons.
A lot of the injuries that form the basis of medical negligence lawsuits result from long-term illnesses or conditions which were present before treatment began. The statute of limitations on a medical malpractice case can be extended over a period of time, and injuries can develop slowly.
In these cases, proving that a medical professional's breached the standard of care that led to the injury is difficult. The attorney could have collected evidence, such as expert testimony and medical malpractice attorney records that the patient who was injured may use.
In the discovery process, which is a part of the legal process prepping for a trial your attorney can request that the defendants' lawyers disclose expert testimony and other documents. The doctor who is representing the case will be asked to take deposition. This is a statement that's given under the oath. Your lawyer can challenge doctor's findings and cross-examine them. The jury will decide whether the plaintiff has established the elements of the case, including duty, breach and causation.
Negligence
The plaintiff must convince the jury, when bringing a lawsuit for medical malpractice, that it is more than likely that the doctor violated his or her obligations as physician and that the breaches resulted in injury. The lawyer for the plaintiff must demonstrate this with evidence gathered through pretrial discovery, which involves asking for disclosure of documents such as medical records from all parties who are involved in the lawsuit. Depositions, wherein statements are made under oath and recorded for use in trial, are also a part of this procedure.
A doctor has breached their professional duty if they did something an ordinary prudent doctor would not have done under the same circumstances. It must be proved that the breach resulted in injury directly to the patient. This is known as causation or proximate causes.

This is medical malpractice because the removal of the gall bladder was not beneficial to the patient.
