Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys are in a fiduciary position with their clients and are required to behave with care, diligence and competence. Attorneys make mistakes, as do other professional.
A mistake made by an attorney is negligence. To demonstrate legal malpractice, an victim must prove obligation, breach, causation and damages. Let's review 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 compensation for injuries suffered from medical malpractice hinges on the concept of duty of care. Your attorney can help you determine whether or not your doctor's actions breached this duty of care, and whether these breaches caused injuries or illness to you.
To prove a duty of care, your lawyer needs to establish that a medical professional had a legal relationship with you, in which they had a fiduciary obligation to exercise an acceptable level of skill and care. This relationship can be established through eyewitness testimony, doctor-patient reports and malpractice lawsuits expert testimony from doctors with similar education, experience and training.
Your lawyer will also have to prove that the medical professional breached their duty of care by not submitting to the standards of practice that are accepted in their area of expertise. This is often called negligence, and your attorney will assess the conduct of the defendant with what a reasonable person would take in the same scenario.
Your lawyer must prove that the defendant's lapse of duty directly caused the loss or injury you suffered. This is referred to as causation. Your lawyer will make use of evidence including your doctor's or patient records, witness testimony and expert testimony, to show that the defendant's inability to adhere to the standard of care was the sole cause of injury or loss to you.
Breach
A doctor is responsible for the duties of care that are consistent with professional medical standards. If a physician fails to meet the standards, and the resulting failure causes an injury and/or medical malpractice, then negligence can occur. Expert witness testimony from medical professionals that have the same training, certifications as well as experience and qualifications can help determine the appropriate level of care in a given situation. Federal and state laws, along with guidelines from the institute, help determine what doctors are required to do for certain types of patients.
To win a malpractice claim, it must be proven that the doctor acted in violation of his or her duty to care and that the violation was the primary cause of an injury. In legal terms, this is called the causation element and it is essential that it is established. For example in the event that a damaged arm requires an xray, the doctor should properly place the arm and put it in a cast for proper healing. If the doctor is unable to complete this task and the patient suffers a permanent loss in the use of their arm, malpractice may have taken place.
Causation
Attorney malpractice lawsuit claims are based on evidence that the attorney's errors resulted in financial losses for the client. For instance the lawyer does not file an action within the timeframe of limitations, which results in the case being lost for ever the party who suffered damages could bring legal malpractice law firm lawsuits.
It's important to recognize that not all mistakes by attorneys are malpractice. Strategies and planning mistakes aren't usually considered to be a sign of misconduct. Attorneys have a wide range of discretion in making decisions as long as they're in the right place.
Additionally, the law grants attorneys a lot of discretion to conduct discovery on the behalf of their clients, as long as it was not negligent or unreasonable. The failure to discover crucial facts or documents, such as medical or witness statements or medical reports, could be an instance of legal malpractice. Other instances of malpractice could be a failure to add certain claims or defendants such as failing to include a survival count in a case of wrongful death or the consistent and persistent failure to contact clients.
It is also important to remember the fact that the plaintiff must prove that, if not for the lawyer's careless conduct, they could have won their case. Otherwise, the plaintiff's claim for malpractice will be denied. This makes the process of bringing legal malpractice lawsuits difficult. Therefore, it's essential to choose an experienced attorney to represent you.
Damages
In order to prevail in a legal malpractice suit, plaintiffs must show financial losses resulting from the actions of the attorney. In a lawsuit, this has to be proven with evidence such as expert testimony and correspondence between the attorney and the client. A plaintiff must also prove that a reasonable lawyer could have prevented the damage caused by the lawyer's negligence. This is referred to as the proximate cause.
The causes of malpractice vary. The most frequent mistakes are: failing to meet a deadline or statute of limitations; failing to perform an examination of a conflict on an instance; applying the law incorrectly to a client's particular situation; and breaking a fiduciary obligation (i.e. merging funds from a trust account with the attorney's own accounts or handling a case in a wrong manner, and not communicating with the client are all examples of malpractice.
Medical malpractice suits typically involve claims for compensatory damages. These compensations compensate the victim for out-of pocket expenses and losses, such as medical and hospitals bills, the cost of equipment to aid in recovery, and lost wages. Additionally, victims may claim non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment life and emotional suffering.
In a lot of legal malpractice cases, there are claims for punitive or compensatory damages. The first is meant to compensate the victim for the losses caused by negligence on the part of the attorney while the latter is intended to discourage future malpractice on the part of the defendant.
