Undiagnosed
Medical malpractice claims are often based on misdiagnosis, or failure to diagnose. Doctors must follow established medical standards, and patients are owed the right to be treated with care. Even highly experienced and skilled doctors may make diagnostic mistakes. A mistake in itself does not constitute medical negligence. The doctor's negligence has to cause harm or injury to the patient in order to be deemed actionable.
A doctor could incorrectly diagnose a disease by assuming the diagnosis or misinterpreting test results, or not recognizing a patient's symptoms. This kind of error is a delay in diagnosis, an incorrect diagnosis or both, could have devastating results. In fact, it's twice as likely to result in death as other forms of medical negligence.
For example when doctors suspect that a patient may have pneumonia and prescribes antibiotics, it could happen that the patient actually was suffering from a staph infection. The inappropriate treatment would cause unwanted adverse side effects, health problems, and damage.
To successfully bring a claim for misdiagnosis, you must prove that there was a doctor-patient relationship, the physician violated his or her obligation to act with competence and that the breach directly caused your injury. This will require expert testimony as well as evidence that your injury or illness could have been avoided if you received a timely and accurate diagnosis.
Wrongful Death
Similar to a personal injury claim, a wrongful-death lawsuit seeks to bring someone or an entity accountable for the loss. The law differs between states, however, most statutes contain the clause that families can sue for a loved one's wrongfully killed death if the death could have been prevented by the negligent act, neglect, or fault of another person. This is a broad definition, which allows for a wide range of claims including medical malpractice.
Close relatives, generally parents, spouses or children (depending on the state's law), can make a claim for wrongful death to recover the losses they suffered due to their loved one's death. In addition to financial damages, juries also award non-monetary damages resulting from the loss of a loved one.
The majority of wrongful death claims are civil cases, separate from any criminal prosecution the person who is responsible could face. However, there are instances where a wrongful deaths case could be filed with a criminal investigation. This is particularly true in cases where the crime involved murder or similar offenses that could result in jail time for the perpetrator. Nevertheless, such cases still employ the same legal evidence like other civil cases. The same rules apply to wrongful death cases, just as they do in other personal injury lawsuits.
Injuries
It is important to keep in mind that a doctor, hospital or any other medical professional is not automatically required to be accountable for each injury or death that happens because of their careless actions. However they must have deviated from the expected standard of care provided in similar circumstances to be held responsible for negligence.
If you are injured by a medical professional who is negligent, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills and future medical expenses, your loss of income due to your inability to work, your adaptation to your injury and pain and suffering. However the claim must be filed within the prescribed timeframe of limitations. This time limit is usually two and one-half years from date of your injury.
Medical errors and mistakes are not common in hospitals, particularly in the emergency room, where staff are often overworked and overwhelmed. Errors could include incorrect blood transfusions, a misdiagnosis of your condition or a patient receiving medication they are allergic to.
Attorneys must abide by a certain level of care when offering legal services to their clients. A violation of this standard of care can usually only be discovered when an objective observer would have judged the action to be unreasonable given the circumstances and the attorney's capabilities and level of expertise.
