Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider fails to adhere to accepted medical standards, leading to harm or injury to a patient. This can result in various consequences, including illness, injury, or even death in the most serious situations. However, not every injury that occurs during medical treatment is due to malpractice. An experienced attorney can assess the circumstances surrounding the injury and determine whether a medical malpractice case is warranted. Proving that a healthcare professional deviated from established standards typically requires a thorough investigation and expert testimony from medical professionals.

At Sackstein Sackstein & Lee, LLP, we have the expertise and resources to work with medical professionals who can testify to support your medical malpractice claim. Without a knowledgeable attorney to review the situation, it can be difficult to determine if malpractice has occurred. In some instances, malpractice is clear, but in others, it may be more subtle and challenging to prove.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Malpractice

How Often Are Medical Malpractice Lawsuits Successful?

A study by the American Medical Association found that around 68% of medical malpractice cases are dismissed or withdrawn. About 8% end with a trial verdict in favor of the patient, while 24% are settled before reaching a verdict.

What is the Most Common Type of Medical Malpractice?

The most frequent type of medical malpractice is misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis. This happens when a healthcare professional incorrectly diagnoses a condition or takes too long to identify it, resulting in inappropriate or missed treatment. For instance, a doctor might confuse heart attack symptoms with indigestion or overlook early signs of cancer, potentially leading to more severe health complications.

What Are the Four Key Elements Needed to Prove a Medical Malpractice Case?

To succeed in a medical malpractice lawsuit in the United States, the patient must typically prove four essential elements:

1. Duty of Care: The doctor had a legal obligation to provide care or treatment to the patient.
2. Breach of Duty: The doctor failed to meet the accepted medical standards, violating that duty.
3. Causation: The breach directly caused harm or injury to the patient.
4. Damages: The patient suffered measurable harm — such as physical, emotional, or financial losses — that the court can address through compensation.

What Is the Most Difficult Part to Prove in a Medical Malpractice Case?

The most challenging part to prove in a medical malpractice case is the breach of duty of care — the second key element. This requires demonstrating that the healthcare provider acted in a way that deviated from what a reasonably competent professional would have done under similar circumstances, which can be complex and often relies on expert testimony.
