How to File a Medical Malpractice Case
If a patient discovers that an object foreign to the body, such as surgical clamps, is still inside her body following gall bladder surgery can file a medical malpractice lawsuit. A successful claim must establish the legal aspects of medical negligence: duty, deviance from this duty, direct cause and injury.
Our clients must establish a direct link between the breach of duty, and the injury. This is known as proximate cause.
Cause of Injury
A medical malpractice claim can be filed by the victim or a legal representative. It could be the spouse, adult child guardian, parent or administrator of the estate of a deceased person, based on the circumstances. The plaintiff in a lawsuit for medical malpractice is the health professional. This could be a nurse, doctor, therapist or any other licensed health care professional.
Expert testimony is often required in cases of malpractice. Medical experts are required to testify on whether or not the health care provider adhered to the standards of care in their specific field. They must also testify about the harm caused by the doctor's actions or inactions.
The consequences of negligence and malpractice can be severe. For instance, a wrong diagnosis of a health issue could cause life-threatening complications. Other types of injuries can include operating on the wrong body part or leaving surgical instruments inside the patient.
The patient must prove four legal elements in a malpractice claim the duty owed to the patient by the physician and a breach of this duty; injury caused by the breach; and resulting damages. In some states such as New York the law limits the amount of money that can be awarded for a malpractice case.
Causation
The injury element, also referred to as causation is one of the most crucial elements in a medical malpractice case. To establish causation, the plaintiff must prove that they suffered their injury on the basis of probabilities due to of the negligence of the doctor. This can be a challenging job due to a variety of reasons.
For instance, many of the injuries that are the cause of a medical negligence lawsuit arise from long-term or ongoing conditions that were present prior to the time of treatment. Often the statute of limitations for a medical negligence claim extends over a number of years and the injuries may develop slowly.
In these situations it is often difficult to prove that a particular medical professional's breach of the standard of care caused the injury. However, the patient who is afflicted may be able to use evidence gathered by the attorney, including medical records and expert testimony.
During the discovery process, which is a part of the legal process for preparing for trial, your lawyer can request disclosure of expert testimony and other evidence from lawyers of the defendants. The doctor defending the lawsuit will be asked to testify during depositions, which are the testimony under the oath. Your lawyer is able to cross-examine doctor and contest their conclusions. The jury will decide then if the plaintiff has established the essential elements of their case such as breach of duty, causation, breach of duty and injury.
Negligence
If a medical malpractice lawsuit is filed the plaintiff has to convince the jury that it was more likely than not that the doctor violated professional duties and those violations caused harm. The plaintiff's lawyer must show this through evidence gathered through pretrial discovery, which involves asking for disclosure of documents such as medical records from all parties who are involved in the lawsuit. This process also involves swearing statements that are recorded and used at trial.
A doctor was in breach of the professional duties of a doctor if he or she did something that a prudent doctor would not do under similar circumstances. It must be established that the breach caused the injury directly to the patient. This is known as causation or proximate causes. For example the patient is admitted to the hospital for a procedure to treat a hernia and is then able to have his or his gall bladder removed instead. This is medical negligence because the removal was not beneficial for the patient.
Medical malpractice lawsuits must be brought within a legally prescribed period of time, also known as the statute of limitations which varies by state. The person who suffered the injury must demonstrate that the treatment was substandard and resulted in injury, and after that they must prove what monetary compensation they deserve.
Damages

This is a process which involves the disclosure of documents and statements made public under the oath. During discovery medical records and notes from a doctor are usually requested.
In many states, to be eligible for compensation for injuries incurred through malpractice, you need to establish four elements including a duty of good faith owed by the healthcare provider, a breach of this duty; a causal link between the breach and injury and damages resultant from the injury. If your lawyer can prove all of these elements, then you've got an excellent case for financial compensation in a medical malpractice claim.
In some instances, a court may give punitive damages, which are intended to punish the perpetrator and discourage others from engaging in the same conduct. However, this is not the norm in medical malpractice cases, as courts require precise proof of malice before they can award these extraordinary awards.
