Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
Attorneys have a fiduciary connection with their clients and are expected to act with care, diligence and skill. But, as with all professionals attorneys make mistakes.
Every mistake made by an attorney constitutes malpractice. To prove legal malpractice, an aggrieved party must show obligation, breach, causation and damages. Let's take a look at each of these elements.
Duty
Medical professionals and doctors swear to use their education and expertise to treat patients and not cause harm to others. The legal right of a patient to compensation for injuries suffered from medical malpractice hinges on the notion of duty of care. Your attorney can help you determine whether or not your doctor's actions violated this duty of care, and whether the breach caused injury or illness to you.
To prove a duty to care, your lawyer will need to prove that a medical professional has an agreement with you, in which they have a fiduciary obligation to exercise an acceptable level of expertise and care. This can be demonstrated by eyewitness testimony of witnesses, doctor-patient documents and expert testimony from doctors with similar education, experience, and training.
Your lawyer will also need to demonstrate that the medical professional breached their duty of care by failing to adhere to the accepted standards in their field. This is commonly referred to by the term negligence. Your attorney will compare the actions of the defendant to what a reasonable person would do in a similar situation.
Then, your lawyer has to prove that the defendant's lapse of duty directly caused the loss or injury you suffered. This is called causation. Your lawyer will use evidence like your medical or patient documents, witness testimony and expert testimony, to show that the defendant's failure meet the standard of care was the sole cause of the injury or loss to you.
Breach
A doctor is required to perform a duty of care for his patients that reflects professional medical standards. If a doctor fails adhere to these standards and this causes injury, then negligence and medical malpractice might occur. Expert evidence from medical professionals who possess similar qualifications, training or experience can help determine the level of care in any given situation. State and federal laws and institute policies also determine what doctors should do for specific types of patients.
To win a malpractice case it is necessary to prove that the doctor breached his or her duty of care and that the breach was a direct cause of injury. In legal terms, this is called the causation element and it is vital that it is established. For instance in the event that a damaged arm requires an x-ray the doctor must properly set the arm and then place it in a cast to ensure proper healing. If the doctor was unable to do so and the patient suffered permanent loss of use of that arm, then malpractice may have occurred.
Causation
Attorney malpractice claims are based on evidence that demonstrates that the attorney's errors caused financial losses to the client. For instance, if a lawyer does not file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations, which results in the case being lost for ever and the victim can bring legal malpractice actions.
It is important to recognize that not all mistakes made by lawyers constitute malpractice. The mistakes that involve strategy and planning do not typically constitute malpractice lawyers attorneys have plenty of discretion to make decisions based on their judgments as long as they are reasonable.
Additionally, the law grants attorneys a lot of discretion to perform discovery on the behalf of their clients, as long as it was not negligent or unreasonable. Inability to find important details or documents like witness statements or medical reports can be a case of legal malpractice. Other examples of malpractice include a failure to add certain defendants or claims, such as forgetting to submit a survival count in a wrongful death lawsuit or the continual and extended inability to contact a client.
It is also important to remember the fact that the plaintiff must prove that if not the lawyer's negligence they would have won their case. In the event that it is not, the plaintiff's claim for malpractice will be rejected. This requirement makes bringing legal malpractice claims difficult. It's important to find an experienced attorney to represent you.
Damages
In order to prevail in a legal malpractice lawsuit plaintiffs must show financial losses that result from the actions of an attorney. This must be shown in a lawsuit by utilizing evidence such as expert testimony, correspondence between the client and attorney along with billing records and other documentation. In addition the plaintiff must demonstrate that a reasonable lawyer would have prevented the harm that was caused by the negligence of the attorney. This is referred to as proximate causation.
Malpractice can occur in many different ways. Some of the more common types of malpractice include: failing to meet a deadline, including a statute of limitations, a failure to conduct a check on conflicts or other due diligence on a case, improperly applying the law to the client's situation or breaching a fiduciary obligation (i.e. merging funds from a trust account an attorney's account, mishandling a case and not communicating with the client are all examples of malpractice.
Medical malpractice suits typically involve claims for compensation damages. These compensations compensate the victim for out-of pocket expenses and losses, such as hospital and medical bills, costs of equipment to aid in recovery, and lost wages. In addition, the victims can be able to claim non-economic damages such as suffering and suffering as well as loss of enjoyment life and emotional suffering.
Legal malpractice cases usually involve claims for compensatory and punitive damages. The former compensates a victim for the loss resulting from the negligence of an attorney, while the latter is designed to deter future malpractice by the defendant.
