How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Medical malpractice lawsuits are complex. There are certain guidelines to be followed, which include the time frame within which the lawsuit may be filed.
In addition to proving negligence, the person seeking compensation must show that the actions of the doctor resulted in losses and injuries. This will require hospital and medical records.
Complaint
After your attorney's investigation has uncovered evidence that malpractice was committed, he will file a lawsuit in court along with summons. The complaint names the defendants in your case, and clearly outlines the allegations you're making against them.
Malpractice claims are based on the belief that a physician or healthcare provider owes a patient a standard of treatment. This is defined as the degree of skill and caution that a reasonably prudent medical professional trained similarly would apply in similar circumstances. Your legal team will have to show that your doctor violated this standard, resulting in injuries from which you have suffered damages that are quantifiable.
It isn't easy to prove that a doctor's standards are the same as another doctor's. It is important to hire an attorney who has access to experts in the medical field to provide proof of what a competent professional would have done.
It is not just physicians who commit medical errors, hospital personnel, including nurses and anesthesiologists are susceptible to making mistakes. This is especially relevant to emergency room personnel where mistakes are usually made due to a busy atmosphere and overworked workers. Your attorney might be able to get testimony from experts in the emergency room who can explain what could have been done and how your doctor's actions fell short of this standard.
Discovery
In the discovery phase the attorney will gather and analyze evidence that could help in proving a malpractice case. This includes medical documents, witness statements, expert testimony and more. The legal team on the other side can also have the chance to request this information from you and your attorney. This is typically done through interrogatories and requests for the production of documents. Certain documents may be considered to be confidential and private due to privacy laws, such as HIPAA's Privacy Rule.
You must also prove your injury is the result of the negligence of the doctor. This is the most challenging aspect of a medical malpractice claim because it requires expert witness testimony to support your claim.
Your lawyer will also call witnesses who can prove that the doctor's actions were negligent. This could include radiologists, dentists nurses, assistants, nurses and other people who were involved in the care of your health. Your lawyer will know how to take powerful and convincing depositions in order to get these witnesses accept that the doctor was negligent.
The majority of lawsuits are settled before they reach trial. In medical malpractice cases this is particularly common since the cost of going to trial can be quite expensive. After the facts of your case are established, a settlement could be reached between you and the doctor's insurance company. If a settlement isn't possible, your case will then go to trial.
Trial
Your attorney will file a lawsuit after having completed the initial investigation. If they conclude that you have a convincing case for malpractice, then they will file the complaint. The complaint will clearly state your allegations and must be served on the defendant, along with a summons.
Discovery is the next phase. The next stage involves discovery. This includes the exchange and depositions of witnesses. Your lawyer will make use of these statements to establish the doctor's breach of standard of care. The goal is to show that the error was the result of the doctor's negligence, and caused damages.
In addition to the witness statement In addition to the witness statement, your medical malpractice attorney will collaborate with two or more expert witnesses to support your claim. These experts will be provided medical records and detailed information regarding your case in order to prepare for their deposition and testify. They can also assist you in preparing your case for trial.
Your lawyer will initiate settlement discussions with the defense as part of the trial preparation. The process can take several years. In this time, you are recovering from your injuries and determining the severity of your losses. If possible, it's beneficial for everyone to avoid litigation and settle out of court. Your attorney will carefully evaluate the merits of a settlement against your present and long-term recovery. If the settlement proposal is reasonable the lawyer will be able to convince you to accept it.
Damages
During the process of discovery plaintiffs must demonstrate that their losses were significant and that the negligence of the defendant caused those damages. For instance, if the doctor failed to inform the patient that the surgery had a 30% chance of losing a limb, and the surgery was performed perfectly but the patient lost their arm and the medical professional could be held accountable for negligence.
A victim can also prove that a competent lawyer could have prevented or mitigated the financial loss. This is sometimes called the "but for test". In addition, it is required to prove that the plaintiff was liable for costs to pursue a legal claim that is greater than the amount of compensation sought.
Our medical malpractice attorneys can explain the various types of damages that can be given in a malpractice lawsuit which include past, present and future medical expenses as well as loss of income and pain and discomfort and other non-economic losses. The higher the amount the more serious the damage. A ruling that is deemed to be successful can be rescinded by appeal. So, settling out of court can be an advantageous alternative for some clients. It can save money as well as time in court costs. It also helps avoid the risk of a juror making a decision based on emotion rather than fact.
