Medical Malpractice

Medical errors are a leading cause of death and injury nationwide. According to an article in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) (Vol 284, No 4, July 26th 2000) by Barbara Starfield, M.D., M.P.H., of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health, medical errors may be the third leading cause of death in the United States. Medical malpractice includes errors by a physician, a member of a hospital staff or other health care provider that occurs in a medical setting and results in injury to the patient. Malpractice may occur when a practitioner breaches the standard of care recognized and accepted by other practitioners in the same field. A critical component of a successful malpractice claim is determining the accepted standard of care, whether that standard was followed and, if not, whether failure to follow that standard caused the injury.

How do you know if you, a family member, or friends have been the victim of medical negligence? What information is important? What are the issues? What are the types of damages that can be recovered? How long do you have to take legal action? These are all important questions and this article will attempt to provide you with useful answers. What Information is Important? Our analysis of your potential case begins with a thorough investigation and examination into your medical history. Any previous hospitalizations regardless of the reason may be important. We need to review your medical records from your family or primary care doctor for several years prior to the date of the treatment which you believe was negligent. We will need to review all records surrounding the treatment which you believe to have been improper. Finally, we need to understand all medications which have been ordered for you during the last several years. No doctor or hospital can refuse to provide you with a copy of your records – it’s the law! They may charge you a fee for copying the records but must provide the records within 15 days of your request. You do not have to inform the health care provider that you are requesting the records for review in a potential legal matter.

Wrongful Death

In general, a wrongful death is a death caused by the negligence, recklessness, malpractice or inaction of another. The death may be the result of an accident or other adverse event. Wrongful death cases are usually brought by close relatives of the deceased. Wrongful death lawsuits usually require the following vital elements to prove the defendant’s guilt:

• The person’s death
• The defendant has exercised such neglectful acts, misconduct, omission or malpractice that causes death
• The surviving family members suffer financial burden due to the loss of their loved one
• The appointment of a legal counsel for the decedent’s assets.
