Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys have a fiduciary connection with their clients and are required to conduct themselves with diligence, care and ability. Attorneys make mistakes, just like any other professional.
A mistake made by an attorney can be considered malpractice. To prove legal malpractice, an victim must prove obligation, breach, causation and damages. Let's look at each of these components.
Duty
Medical professionals and doctors swear an oath that they will use their knowledge and expertise to treat patients, and not causing further harm. A patient's legal right to receive compensation for injuries resulting from medical malpractice hinges on the notion of the duty of care. Your attorney can determine if the actions of your doctor violated the duty to care and if these breaches caused you injury or illness.
Your lawyer has to prove that the medical professional owed you the fiduciary obligation to act with reasonable skill and care. This relationship can be established by eyewitness testimony of witnesses, doctor-patient reports and expert testimony from doctors who have similar education, experience and training.
Your lawyer must also demonstrate that the medical professional breached their duty of care by not living up to the accepted standards of practice in their field. This is often referred to by the term negligence. Your lawyer will evaluate the actions of the defendant to what a reasonable individual would do in the same situation.
In addition, your lawyer must prove that the defendant's breach of duty directly led to damage or loss to you. This is known as causation, and your lawyer will make use of evidence such as your doctor-patient documents, witness statements and expert testimony to show that the defendant's inability to uphold the standards of care in your case was the direct cause of your injury or loss.
Breach
A doctor is required to perform a duty of care to his patients which corresponds to professional medical standards. If a doctor does not live up to those standards and that failure results in injury, negligence and medical malpractice might occur. Typically the testimony of medical professionals who have similar training, expertise and experience, as well as certifications and certificates will assist in determining what the minimum standard of treatment should be in a particular case. State and federal laws, as well as policies of the institute, help define what doctors are required to provide for specific types of patients.
To win a malpractice case the case must be proved that the doctor breached his or duty of care and that this breach was the direct cause of injury. In legal terms, this is called the causation element and it is crucial to establish. For example an injured arm requires an xray, the doctor has to properly set the arm and then place it in a cast for proper healing. If the physician failed to do so and the patient was left with a permanent loss of the use of the arm, then malpractice may have occurred.
Causation
Attorney malpractice claims are based on evidence that demonstrates that the attorney's mistakes caused financial losses to the client. For instance the lawyer fails to file a lawsuit within the prescribed time of limitations, leading to the case being lost for ever the party who suffered damages can bring legal malpractice actions.
However, it's important to realize that not all errors made by attorneys constitute malpractice. Strategies and mistakes do not typically constitute malpractice, and attorneys have lots of freedom to make judgment calls as long as they're reasonable.
The law also gives attorneys considerable leeway to fail to conduct a discovery process on the behalf of their clients, as provided that the decision was not unreasonable or negligent. Inability to find important details or documents like medical reports or statements of witnesses, is a potential example of legal malpractice. Other examples of malpractice include a failure to add certain defendants or claims such as failing to submit a survival count in a wrongful death case or the continual and persistent inability to contact a client.
It's also important that it must be established that, had it not been for the lawyer's negligence, the plaintiff would have won the underlying case. If not, the plaintiff's claims for malpractice will be rejected. This makes bringing legal malpractice claims difficult. This is why it's crucial to hire an experienced attorney to represent you.
Damages
In order to prevail in a legal malpractice lawsuit a plaintiff must demonstrate actual financial losses resulting from the actions of an attorney. This has to be demonstrated in a lawsuit through evidence like expert testimony, correspondence between client and attorney or billing records, and other documentation. The plaintiff must also show that a reasonable lawyer could have prevented the harm caused by the negligence of the lawyer. This is known as proximate causation.
Malpractice can occur in many different ways. Some of the most common types of malpractice include failing to meet a deadline, such as a statute of limitations, failure to perform a conflict check or other due diligence check on the case, not applying law to a client's circumstance or breaching a fiduciary obligation (i.e. mixing funds from a trust account an attorney's account, mishandling a case and failing to communicate with the client are all examples of malpractice.
Medical malpractice suits typically involve claims for compensatory damages. They compensate the victim for the expenses out of pocket and losses, like medical and hospital bills, the cost of equipment that aids in recovery, and loss of wages. Victims can also seek non-economic damages like discomfort and pain, loss of enjoyment of their lives, and emotional anxiety.
Legal malpractice cases usually involve claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages. The former compensates a victim for losses resulting from the negligence of an attorney, while the latter is designed to deter future malpractice by the defendant.
