Establishing a Liable Party and Pursuing Justice
Liability can be complex in a medical malpractice case. Sometimes, mistakes committed by an individual make liability clear. However, most cases are far more complex and involve several moving parts.
A lawyer who works on these cases can assist you by working to establish a liable party on your behalf.
A healthcare facility may also be complicit in acts of medical malpractice. If the facility fails to properly train and monitor its employees, then this could constitute liability on their part. Proper training, guidance, and safety protocols play a crucial role in the world of health care.
Why Should You Hire a Lawyer?
Unfortunately, many acts of medical malpractice occur when facilities fail to adhere to their procedures. When you work with a lawyer who focuses on medical malpractice cases, they will investigate the role of the healthcare facility, as well as any individual medical professionals. Your lawyer could typically gather key pieces of evidence as they strive to establish a liable party and build a case to represent your legal rights.
In this investigation, your lawyer may gather the following evidence:
- Medical records
- Doctor’s notes
- Health history and charts
- Photographic evidence
- Video footage
- Eyewitness reports and testimonies
From here, your lawyer will take care of all necessary communications with healthcare facilities, medical professionals, insurance carriers, and any other parties related to your case on your behalf. Your lawyer will work to keep you informed as your case progresses. You may be eligible to receive financial compensation for your past and future medical bills, future loss of earning capacity, psychological trauma, and other losses.
How Does Medical Malpractice Happen?
Negligence, carelessness, and recklessness are typically present in most cases involving medical malpractice. Doctors and other medical professionals must abide by strict principles when conducting operations. Unfortunately, far too many medical professionals fail to provide adequate care in their service, and this leads to disastrous results for victims of medical malpractice.
Failing to properly sanitize equipment, machinery, and medical devices is a common source of health complications when patients visit a medical practice. Doctors and nurses must clean their hands thoroughly as they work with a patient, as even a single lapse in sanitization can immensely harm a visitor. Sanitizing devices and equipment is equally important. When medical professionals fail to perform these cleaning procedures, they may be held liable for the resulting damage to their patients.
Some medical mistakes that seem nearly impossible are also a cause for concern when looking at medical malpractice cases. As the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) highlights, medical “never events” refer to events that should never occur in a healthcare setting. Despite the term’s prevalence, never events are quite common in cases involving medical malpractice, and many of them lead to catastrophic outcomes for victims.
