How to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

Medical malpractice lawsuits are a complex matter. There are specific guidelines to follow, including a time limit within which a lawsuit can be filed.

In addition to the need to prove negligence, the plaintiff must show that the actions of the doctor resulted in injuries and losses. This will require hospital and medical documents.

Complaint

Your lawyer will file a court complaint and summons once he or she has found evidence of malpractice. The complaint will identify the defendants and make the allegations you bring against them.

Malpractice claims are based upon the belief that doctors, nurses or other healthcare providers are obligated to a patient a certain standard of care. This standard is the level of expertise and prudence a reasonably prudent doctor with similar training would employ in similar circumstances. Your legal team must demonstrate that your doctor did not adhere to this standard and caused you to suffer injury.

It can be difficult to prove that a physician's standard is the same as another doctor's. This is why it is important to work with a legal firm that has access to experts who can provide testimony about the medical field and what an experienced professional in your doctor's position would have done.

It is not just physicians who make medical errors; hospital staff members, like nurses and anesthesiologists, also can commit malpractice. This is especially true for emergency room staff, whose mistakes are often made due to a chaotic environment and overworked employees. Your lawyer may be able to obtain testimony from experts in the emergency room that can assist in proving the correct procedure and how the actions of your doctor did not meet the standards.

Discovery

During the discovery phase during the discovery phase, your attorney will collect and look over evidence that might support a malpractice claim. This includes medical records and witness statements, as in addition to expert testimony. This information can also be requested by the opposing legal team. This can be done via interrogatories or requests for documents. Certain documents may be considered to be confidential and confidential due to privacy laws, such as HIPAA's Privacy Rule.

You must also prove your injury is the result of negligence by the doctor. This is the most challenging part of a medical malpractice case because it requires an expert witness testimony to support your claim.

Your lawyer will also depose witnesses who can prove the doctor's negligence. This can include radiologists, dentists as well as nurses, assistants and other people who were involved in the care of your health. Your attorney will know how to conduct effective and powerful depositions to ensure that these witnesses admit that the doctor's negligence.

Most lawsuits are settled, or settled before they reach the trial stage. This is especially true for medical malpractice cases, since the costs involved in a trial can be extremely high. Once the facts are established and you have a chance to negotiate a settlement with the doctor's insurer. If a settlement isn't attainable the case will proceed to trial.

Trial

Your lawyer will file a complaint after completing the initial investigation. If they find that you have a strong case for malpractice, then they will file it. The complaint will clearly state your allegations and will be served on the defendant along with a summons.

The next phase is discovery. This involves the exchange of medical records as well as depositions of witnesses. Your lawyer will use the statements to prove that the doctor violated the standards of care. The aim is to prove that the error was a result from the negligence of the doctor that caused damage.

Your medical malpractice attorney will also work with one or more expert witnesses to support your claim. These experts will receive medical records as well as detailed information about your case in preparation for their deposition and testify. They may also assist in making your case ready for trial.

Your lawyer will initiate settlement discussions with the defense team as part of the preparation for trial. The process can take many years. In this time, you are recovering from your injuries and determining the magnitude of your losses. When you can, it's the best option for everyone to avoid litigation and settle out of court. Your lawyer will carefully weigh the merits of a settlement against your current and long-term recovery. If the settlement is reasonable, your lawyer will encourage you to accept it.

Damages

During the discovery phase, plaintiffs will have to prove that their losses are substantial and that the negligence of the defendant has contributed to these losses. For instance, if the doctor did not inform the patient of the 30 percent risk that the procedure would result in the loss of arm, and the operation was perfect but the patient lost an arm or limb, the doctor could be held accountable for malpractice lawyer.

A victim could also prove that a skilled lawyer could have prevented or mitigated the financial loss. This is commonly referred as the "but for" test. It is also essential to prove that the plaintiff's expenses in pursuit of a successful legal claim which are in excess of the amount demanded as compensation.

Our medical malpractice attorneys can explain the different types of damages that could be awarded in a case of malpractice that include past, current and future medical expenses as well as loss of income and pain and discomfort and other non-economic loss. The more money you are awarded the more serious the injury. A verdict that is successful could be rescinded by appeal. So, settling outside of court can be a viable option for a few clients. It can reduce time and cost in litigation costs, aswell as avoiding the risk of having a jury judge cases on the basis of emotion rather than fact.
