How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
Medical malpractice cases can be a bit complicated. An experienced attorney can guide you through this complex procedure and assist you in understanding your rights.
You must prove that your medical professional or other did not fulfill their duty of care towards you in order to pursue a malpractice suit. This breach resulted in a negative legal outcome like a medical conclusion which was not in your favor or a financial loss.
Birth defects
The birth of a baby is a incredibly exciting time for parents. However, it's also a time when medical issues could arise. This can be due to birth defects like lips with clefts and missing limbs or congenital heart disease and muscular dystrophy. If negligence by a doctor during pregnancy or delivery caused these conditions, you may be able to file a malpractice claim.
Birth defects can be caused by various reasons, including exposure to prescription drugs or environmental factors that cause toxic chemicals and prenatal health issues. A doctor's duty to ensure the health of a pregnant fetus and mother includes conducting appropriate screening tests and detecting and treating any anomalies during pregnancy.
Medical experts must determine if a doctor's error caused grave injury or death through not diagnosing or treating the condition. To establish negligence, a medical expert must review the standard care a physician would have followed under similar circumstances. The expert is then required to show that the doctor's negligence was different from this standard, causing the injury or death.
In addition to consulting experts, it is important to gather evidence at the scene of the accident and interview any eyewitnesses. These could include hospital employees, other patients, their families, nurses, and more. You should also take pictures of your child's injuries to show how serious they are.
Maternal deaths
Every year, between 700 and 900 women die each year as a result of complications caused by pregnancy or childbirth. This is an alarming number especially in a third-world country like the United States. USA Today recently reported that many of these deaths could have been avoided by better medical care in hospitals.
The causes of maternal death include obstetric emergencies which include bleeding severe during birth or a hemorrhage that occurs afterward or pre-existing health conditions like obesity and diabetes that can affect pregnancy and childbirth. However doctors also have a responsibility to detect and treat warning signs, including high blood pressure that could cause the dangerous condition known as preeclampsia. Preeclampsia could lead to premature separation of the placenta seizures and the life-threatening condition known as HELLP syndrome.
Medical malpractice lawsuits related to gynecology and obstetrics are some of the most popular types of lawsuits filed in the United States. In a malpractice case a claimant must prove that the doctor or healthcare provider violated the accepted standards of care and that the violation led to the plaintiff's injury or death. The standards of care are defined by the legal community and varies from state to state. Despite the many malpractice cases, the majority of them are settled before trial. Settlements are usually reached through direct negotiations between the parties and typically involves the assistance of a neutral third party, like a mediator (often retired judges or attorneys). Medical malpractice suits aren't the fastest way to get rid of the practice of a physician, either.
Surgery-related injuries
Even though medical advancements have drastically decreased the chance of adverse outcomes, they do occur. When they do happen, they tend to cause serious injuries. These injuries are not only painful and inconvenient but can cause costly corrective procedures, high medical expenses and extended recovery times or even death.
Not every surgical error constitutes negligence, but. To be successful it must be proved that the healthcare professional did not follow the established standard of care during the procedure, and that the failure directly led to injury. Damages that are considered medical malpractice are:
The wrong-site surgery is when the surgeon performs surgery on a body part that is different than the one intended leaving a sponge scalpel or any other piece of equipment inside the patient, which can cause puncture or nicking nerves or organ, causing infections by inadequately cleaned and sanitized equipment or instruments.
A surgical error lawsuit is a complicated matter and you should seek the advice from an experienced attorney who is familiar with medical malpractice. You should also document any injuries, including photos and make notes about any details that you think could be relevant to the claim. A lawsuit for a surgical error can take years to resolve, but it's worth it when your doctor made a error that resulted in injury. This is especially applicable if the injuries you suffer are severe and have a significant impact on the quality of your life.
Wrongful death
The loss of a loved ones can be extremely stressful. However, if the death is caused by the negligence of someone else it can be incredibly painful. According to the laws of your state it is possible to file a claim against that party to recover damages for your loss.
A wrongful death case differs from medical malpractice because it involves a person's life rather than their health. Therefore, the requirement for proof is higher - it must be proven beyond any reasonable doubt that the loved person's death was caused by another party's negligence.
For instance, the husband of Joan's was diagnosed with a lung cancer that was not seen by an x-ray. The cause of his death was the doctor's failure to examine his patient's symptoms and conduct an MRI when the patient had trouble breathing. The delay in treatment led to the tumor to grow irreparably.
In this instance the family of the patient can pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the doctor and the hospital. Similar to a medical malpractice claim, the type of damages which can be claimed will depend on the laws of your state. They can cover economic and non-economic damages such as funeral costs or loss of consortium and discomfort and pain prior to the death of the victim. The punitive damages can be claimed in wrongful-death claims. This amount isn't included in all cases, but is applicable if the victim's death is as a result multiple mistakes or was a particularly grave death.
