Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys are in a fiduciary position with their clients and are expected to behave with diligence, care and skill. However, like all professionals, attorneys make mistakes.
Every mistake made by an attorney can be considered an act of malpractice. To prove legal negligence, the aggrieved must show the duty, breach of obligation, causation, and damages. Let's take a look at each of these aspects.
Duty-Free
Doctors and medical professionals take an oath that they will use their knowledge and expertise to cure patients, not to cause further harm. The legal right of a patient to receive compensation for injuries resulting from medical malpractice rests on the concept of the duty of care. Your attorney can determine if your doctor's actions violated the duty of care and whether these violations resulted in your injury or illness.
To prove a duty of care, your lawyer must to prove that a medical professional had a legal relationship with you that were bound by a fiduciary duty to perform their duties with reasonable expertise and care. This can be proved by eyewitness testimony of witnesses, doctor-patient records and expert testimony of doctors who have similar educational, experience and training.
Your lawyer will also have to show that the medical professional violated their duty of caring by failing to follow the accepted standards of their field. This is often called negligence. Your attorney will examine the defendant's actions to what a reasonable individual would perform in the same situation.
Your lawyer must also prove that the defendant's negligence caused direct loss or injury. This is referred to as causation. Your attorney will use evidence, such as your doctor/patient reports, witness testimony and expert testimony, to show that the defendant's inability to meet the standards of care was the sole cause of injury or loss to you.
Breach
A doctor has a duty of treatment to his patients that corresponds to professional medical standards. If a doctor fails to meet these standards and that failure results in injury, medical malpractice and negligence may occur. Expert testimonials from medical professionals who have similar training, certifications, skills and experience can help determine the level of care for a specific situation. State and federal laws, along with guidelines from the institute, help define what doctors are expected to do for certain types of patients.
To prevail in a malpractice case it is necessary to prove that the doctor violated his or his duty of care and that the breach was the direct cause of injury. This is known in legal terms as the causation element and it is crucial that it is established. For instance, if a broken arm requires an xray the doctor must fix the arm and place it in a cast to ensure proper healing. If the doctor failed to complete the procedure and the patient was left with an irreparable loss of function of that arm, then malpractice could have occurred.
Causation
Legal malpractice claims are based on evidence that the attorney made mistakes that resulted in financial losses to the client. Legal malpractice attorney claims can be brought by the person who was injured if, for example, the lawyer is unable to file a lawsuit within the prescribed time and results in the case being forever lost.
However, it's crucial to be aware that not all mistakes made by lawyers constitute mistakes that constitute malpractice. Strategies and planning errors are not always considered to be the definition of malpractice. Attorneys have a broad choice of discretion when it comes to making decisions so long as they're rational.
The law also allows lawyers considerable latitude to not perform discovery on behalf of their clients provided that the failure was not unreasonable or a case of negligence. Failing to discover important details or documents, such as medical reports or witness statements could be a sign of legal malpractice. Other instances of malpractice include the failure to add certain defendants or claims, for instance failing to include a survival count for wrongful death cases, or the repeated failure to communicate with clients.
It is also important to note the fact that the plaintiff needs to demonstrate that, if it weren't due to the lawyer's negligent behavior, they could have won their case. The plaintiff's claim of malpractice will be rejected if it's not proved. This requirement makes it difficult to bring an action for legal malpractice. It is essential to choose an experienced attorney.
Damages
To win a legal malpractice lawsuit a plaintiff must demonstrate actual financial losses resulting from the actions of an attorney. This can be proven in a lawsuit through evidence such as expert testimony, correspondence between client and attorney, billing records and other documentation. A plaintiff must also prove that a reasonable attorney could have prevented the harm caused by the lawyer's negligence. This is known as proximate cause.
Malpractice occurs in many ways. Some of the most common kinds of malpractice are the failure to meet a deadline, including the statute of limitations, failing to conduct a conflict check or other due diligence on the case, not applying the law to the client's situation, breaching a fiduciary duty (i.e. mixing funds from a trust account the attorney's own accounts, mishandling a case and failing to communicate with the client are all examples of malpractice.
Medical malpractice suits typically involve claims for compensatory damages. These compensations are intended to compensate the victim for out-of-pocket expenses as well as losses such as medical and hospitals bills, costs of equipment to aid in recovery, and lost wages. Additionally, victims may be able to claim non-economic damages such as pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment life, and emotional stress.
Legal malpractice cases typically involve claims for compensatory or punitive damages. The former compensates a victim for losses resulting from the attorney's negligence, while the latter is designed to deter future malpractice by the defendant.
