Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys hold a fiduciary relationship with their clients and are expected to behave with care, diligence and skill. Attorneys make mistakes just like any other professional.
Every mistake made by an attorney constitutes legal malpractice. To prove negligence in a legal sense the person who was hurt must prove the duty, breach of obligation, causation, and damages. Let's review each of these aspects.
Duty-Free
Doctors and medical professionals take the oath of using their knowledge and expertise to treat patients, not to cause further harm. Duty of care is the foundation for the right of patients to receive compensation for injuries caused by medical negligence. Your attorney can determine if the actions of your doctor violated the duty of care and whether these violations resulted in your injury or illness.
Your lawyer must prove that the medical professional owed you an obligation of fiduciary to act with reasonable competence and care. Establishing that this relationship existed may require evidence, such as your records of your doctor-patient relationship eyewitness accounts and expert testimony from doctors who have similar qualifications, experience and education.
Your lawyer will also have to prove that the medical professional breached their duty of caring by failing to adhere to the accepted standards of their area of expertise. This is commonly called negligence. Your attorney will compare what the defendant did to what a reasonable person would do in the same situation.
Finally, your lawyer must show that the defendant's breach of duty directly led to your loss or injury. This is known as causation. Your lawyer will rely on evidence, such as your doctor/patient documents, witness testimony and expert testimony, to demonstrate that the defendant's inability to meet the standards of care was the direct cause of the injury or loss to you.
Breach
A doctor owes patients duties of care that are consistent with professional standards in medical practice. If a doctor fails to adhere to these standards and fails to do so causes injury, then negligence and medical malpractice might occur. Expert witness testimony from medical professionals that have the same training, certifications, skills and experience can help determine the level of care in any given situation. State and federal laws, along with policies of the institute, help define what doctors are expected to do for certain types of patients.
To win a malpractice case it is necessary to prove that the doctor violated 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 crucial that it be established. For instance when a broken arm requires an x-ray the doctor has to properly fix the arm and place it in a cast to ensure proper healing. If the doctor fails to do this and the patient is left with a permanent loss of the use of their arm, malpractice could be at play.
Causation
Lawyer malpractice lawyer claims are based on the evidence that the attorney committed mistakes that caused financial losses for the client. For example, malpractice if a lawyer does not file an action within the timeframe of limitations, which results in the case being lost for malpractice ever and the victim can file legal malpractice claims.
It's important to recognize that not all errors made by attorneys are considered to be malpractice. Strategies and planning mistakes are not typically considered to be negligence. Attorneys have a broad decision-making discretion to make decisions so long as they're rational.
The law also gives attorneys considerable latitude to not perform discovery on behalf of clients as long as the decision was not arbitrary or negligence. Legal malpractice attorney can be triggered by not obtaining crucial documents or facts, like medical reports or witness statements. Other instances of malpractice include inability to include certain claims or defendants, such as forgetting to make a survival claim in a case of wrongful death, or the repeated and persistent failure to contact the client.
It's also important to note that it must be proved that, if not the negligence of the lawyer, the plaintiff would have won the case. The claim of malpractice by the plaintiff is rejected if it is not proven. This makes it very difficult to bring an action for legal malpractice. It's crucial to hire an experienced attorney to represent you.
Damages
To win a legal malpractice suit, plaintiffs must show financial losses resulting from the actions of an attorney. In the case of a lawsuit this has to be demonstrated using evidence, such as expert testimony and correspondence between the attorney and client. In addition the plaintiff must demonstrate that a reasonable lawyer would have prevented the damage caused by the attorney's negligence. This is referred to as proximate causation.
The definition of malpractice can be found in a variety of ways. Some of the more common kinds of malpractice are failing to meet a deadline, for example, the statute of limitations, failing to conduct a conflict-check or any other due diligence on a case, improperly applying law to a client's circumstance, breaching a fiduciary duty (i.e. merging funds from a trust account with the attorney's own accounts as well as not communicating with the client are all examples of malpractice.
In the majority of medical malpractice cases the plaintiff is seeking compensatory damages. They compensate the victim for the out-of-pocket expenses and losses, for example hospital and medical bills, costs of equipment that aids in healing, as well as lost wages. In addition, the victims can be able to claim non-economic damages like pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional stress.
In many legal malpractice cases, there are cases for punitive and compensatory damages. The former compensates victims for the losses caused by the negligence of an attorney, while the latter is intended to deter any future malpractice committed by the defendant.
