You may be wondering how one defines medical malpractice. Medical Malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to exercise the degree of care and skill required by other physicians and surgeons of the same medical specialty. When such standards are not followed, malpractice occurs. If the individual is harmed, and they're willing to pursue a claim against the providers, they may be eligible to obtain a lawsuit loan to assist them in pursuing this action.
When healthcare professionals (e.g., doctors, nurses, et al.) fail to meet the above-referenced standard, an act of medical malpractice may have occurred. If such an act occurs, the individual against him the act was consummated may be eligible to file a medical malpractice claim. If so, the individual may find it necessary to obtain a lawsuit loan.
As previously stated, to constitute medical malpractice, the provider's performance must depart from a standard of practice that is required for those with similar training and experience. It must also result in harm to the patient. If no harm occurs, there is no claim.
In most instances, such actions are filed against providers who fail to exercise due-diligence in the care and treatment of patients. These suits are intended to permit the individuals who suffer injury as result of malpractice to obtain compensation. These suits are customarily time-consuming and costly for both the providers against whom the claims are filed and the plaintiffs. By allowing these claims, it is assumed that medical physicians will be less likely to engage in these negligent acts.
Another reason for allowing these claims to be brought forward is to force doctors to conduct themselves in a manner less likely to result in harm to patients. Thus, it is considered a form of quality-control. It is an unfortunate consequence of the protracted nature of these claims that most plaintiffs, if they intend to pursue the action through to the end, must obtain lawsuit loans.
Once again, an attorney experienced in medical malpractice cases is often essential. Such an attorney will assist the plaintiff in navigating the claim through the legal system in the fastest and least burdensome manner. A competent attorney will know to work closely with those from whom information must be obtained. Such an attorney will also be acquainted with medical experts upon whom you may rely to provide an accurate assessment of the merits of your case. It should be noted that most experts require a retainer. It is this requirement that, in many instances, necessitates a lawsuit loan.
The fact that a provider is licensed does not ensure that the provider will conduct himself/herself in a manner consistent with that of other providers in the same specialty. Furthermore, it is a mistake to conclude that you have waived your rights to pursue an action against the provider merely because you signed a consent form. The duty to exercise due-diligence in the care and treatment of patients is considered a non-delegable duty.
Two of the key elements required to bring a medical malpractice claim will be identified here. (We will address additional elements in future articles.) The first element is that the healthcare provider failed to exercise the degree of care and skill required by other physicians and surgeons of the same medical specialty. The second element is that the individual sustained an injury when those services were performed in a negligent manner.
To prevail in your medical malpractice claim, many other elements must be addressed. We will address some of the additional elements in our next article. Once again, in most instances, the plaintiff will find it necessary to obtain a lawsuit loan simply to be able to manage expenses incurred while pursuing this litigation.
