How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Bringing a medical parkersburg malpractice lawsuit suit against a doctor or hospital requires evidence that the defendant breached his or her duty to patients. This can be evidence from hospitals and medical records.
Our lawyers have experience taking effective depositions of witnesses. They could be doctors, other medical professionals in private practice, or working at a hospital or clinic.
Negligence
Patients have the right to receive certain standards of care when they visit a hospital, doctor or health care professional. Unfortunately they aren't always met or even violated. This can cause devastating results.
When someone suffers injury or death due to a doctor's negligence, they can bring a lawsuit against the medical professional. To have a valid case the injured person must establish four legal aspects which are breach of duty, duty, damages and causation.
Malpractice is defined as the act or omission of the physician that goes against the accepted norms of practice in the medical community, and inflicts harm on the patient. It is a part of tort law that deals with civil wrongs but not criminal or contractual obligations.
Medical negligence is distinct from regular negligence in that the victim must prove that the doctor knew or should have known that their actions would cause harm in order to assert malpractice, however normal negligence doesn't. A surgeon who accidentally nicks or cuts an artery or nerve during surgery is guilty of negligence, but not negligence. This is because the doctor didn't intend to hurt anyone.
In a medical malpractice lawsuit the defendant is under the obligation of treating the patient in accordance with the standard of care a reasonably competent healthcare professional with the same experience and education in similar situations would provide. The violation of this duty is a critical element because it demonstrates that the negligent act caused the injury.
Damages
In a malpractice case damages are determined based on the losses you have suffered due to a doctor's negligence. These can include both actual financial loss, like the cost of future medical expenses as well as non-economic losses such as pain and suffering.
To be able to claim damages, you must show that the doctor violated a duty of care, that the doctor's deviation from the standard of care resulted in injury, and that this injury resulted in quantifiable financial consequences. This is a complex legal analysis that usually requires expert witness testimony.
Some of these losses are obvious for instance, if a doctor made an error that resulted in an infection or medical condition that required additional treatment because of it. Other damages are less readily evident, for instance, if your doctor misdiagnoses you, and you are not able to receive the proper treatment.
You can sue wrongful death in the event that your doctor's negligence results in your death. In these claims you're legally entitled to all the compensation you could have gotten in a lawsuit for survival and punitive damages.
In many states, there are limits on what you can claim when you file a claim for malpractice. These caps vary from state to state and are usually applicable to both economic and other damages. Some states have laws that limit how long you have to wait before filing an action.
Time Limits
Like any lawsuit there are time limits that must be observed or the case may be barred. In general, a Knoxville Malpractice law firm lawsuit must be filed within two to six years after the medical malpractice that occurred. The exact time frame differs by state.
It is important to consult an attorney as soon as possible. The law firm will conduct an investigation to determine whether a mistake occurred and whether it will be able to stand in the court. This process can take weeks or even months.
Medical malpractice cases involve different laws than other types of cases and often the statute of limitations is modified. In Pennsylvania the patient is entitled to two years from the date when they first discovered the error. This is known as the discovery rule.
In certain states the statutes of limitation begin to run on the date when the medical error occurred. This could be problematic if the medical mistake does not trigger any immediate symptoms. Imagine, for example, that a doctor erroneously left a foreign object in the patient's body after surgery. The patient may not realize the object until three years after the procedure. In that scenario the statute of limitations could have begun to begin running from the date of the procedure, not the discovery of the error.
Expert Witnesses
Many medical yelm malpractice attorney cases depend on experts to explain the facts of the case. An expert witness for a plaintiff will discuss the doctor's obligation of care to the patient and the medical standards applicable to the region and specialization for the type of doctor who has similar qualifications and abilities and the ways the defendant departed from the standards. The expert will then explain how the deviation directly led to the injury suffered by the patient.
The defendant will employ a professional to counter the plaintiff's expert, and offer their professional opinion as to whether the doctor's treatment was consistent with requirements of medical care. The experts could disagree but the fact-finder will decide which expert is the most reliable.
It is preferential for the expert to still be working in the medical field because they will have more knowledge of the current practice. Jurors and judges typically consider professionals who are practicing more credible than experts whose sole source of income is the testifying in court.
