Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys have a fiduciary obligation with their clients and are required to behave with diligence, care and skill. Attorneys make mistakes, just like any other professional.
The mistakes made by lawyers are legal malpractice. To prove legal negligence the victim must demonstrate obligation, breach of duty, causation, and damages. Let's look at each of these elements.
Duty
Doctors and medical professionals take an oath to apply their knowledge and expertise to treat patients, not causing further harm. Duty of care is the basis for a patient's right to compensation when they suffer injuries due to medical negligence. Your attorney will determine if your doctor's actions violated the duty of care and if the breach caused you injury or illness.
Your lawyer must prove that the medical professional was bound by an obligation of fiduciary to act with reasonable competence and care. Establishing that this relationship existed may require evidence such as the records of your doctor and patient or eyewitness testimony, as well as expert testimony from doctors with similar experience, education and training.
Your lawyer will also have to prove that the medical professional breached their duty of care by not living up to the accepted standards of practice in their area of expertise. This is often referred to as negligence, and your attorney will examine the defendant's actions with what a reasonable person would do in the same situation.
In addition, your lawyer must demonstrate that the defendant's breach of duty directly led to the loss or injury you suffered. This is referred to as causation. Your lawyer will make use of evidence, such as your doctor/patient records, witness testimony, and expert testimony, to prove that the defendant's inability to meet the standards of care was the sole cause of your injury or loss to you.
Breach
A doctor is responsible for the duties of care that conform to professional medical standards. If a doctor fails to meet those standards and this results in injury, then negligence and medical malpractice might occur. Typically expert testimony from medical professionals with similar training, skills, certifications and experience will assist in determining what the minimum standard of treatment should be in a particular situation. State and federal laws, as well as policies of the institute, help determine what doctors are required to do for certain types of patients.
To be successful in a malpractice case the evidence must prove that the doctor acted in violation of his or her duty of care and that the violation was the sole cause of an injury. In legal terms, this is known as the causation component and it is crucial that it is established. For instance in the event that a damaged arm requires an x-ray, the doctor has to properly place the arm and put it in a cast for proper healing. If the doctor fails to perform this, and the patient loses their the use of their arm, malpractice may be at play.
Causation
Legal malpractice lawyers claims are founded on the evidence that the attorney made mistakes that caused financial losses to the client. For instance, if a lawyer fails to file a lawsuit within the prescribed time of limitations, which results in the case being lost for ever the party who suffered damages could bring legal malpractice lawsuits.
However, it's important to understand that not all errors made by lawyers are a sign of illegal. The mistakes that involve strategy and planning are not usually considered to be malpractice and lawyers have a lot of latitude in making judgment calls so long as they are reasonable.
The law also allows lawyers the right to refuse to conduct discovery for a client provided that the reason for the delay was not unreasonable or negligent. Legal malpractice can be committed by not obtaining crucial documents or evidence, such as medical reports or witness statements. Other examples of malpractice include a inability to include certain claims or defendants, such as forgetting to make a survival claim in a wrongful death case or the consistent and long-running inability to contact clients.
It's also important to keep in mind that it must be proved that but the negligence of the lawyer the plaintiff would have won the underlying case. In the event that it is not, the plaintiff's claim for malpractice will be rejected. This makes the process of bringing legal malpractice claims complicated. It is important to employ an experienced attorney.
Damages
A plaintiff must demonstrate that the attorney's actions caused actual financial losses in order to prevail in a legal malpractice suit. In a lawsuit, this needs to be proved with evidence, like expert testimony or correspondence between the attorney and the 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 referred to as proximate causation.
The definition of malpractice can be found in a variety of ways. The most frequent types of malpractice include: failing to meet a deadline, such as the statute of limitations, failure to conduct a check on conflicts or any other due diligence on a case, improperly applying law to a client's circumstance, breaching a fiduciary duty (i.e. the commingling of funds from a trust account with the attorney's personal accounts or handling a case in a wrong manner, and not communicating with the client are just a few examples of misconduct.
In the majority of medical malpractice cases the plaintiff seeks compensation damages. They are awarded to the victim in exchange for out-of-pocket expenses and losses, such as medical and hospital bills, costs of equipment that aids in healing, as well as lost wages. In addition, victims may claim non-economic damages, like suffering and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress.
In many legal malpractice cases there are cases for punitive and compensatory damages. The former compensates victims for losses caused by the negligence of the attorney, while the latter is designed to deter any future malpractice committed by the defendant.
