The best way to bolster a medical malpractice case is to be as thorough as possible. During the claim process, a patient will have to prove a number of elements to ensure that their claim is successful. The defendant’s attorney will search for the weakest element of your claim. Therefore, it is important to have as much evidence as possible.
To win your claim, you will have to prove that there was a doctor/patient relationship between you and the defendant. Was the doctor responsible for your medical diagnosis or treatment? You will also have to prove that the doctor or medical professional involved was negligent in some way. Last, but not least, you will have to show that the doctor’s or hospital’s negligence caused you harm. Were you injured as the result of the doctor’s actions? A strong medical malpractice case will solidly prove all three of those elements.
Medical Malpractice Statistics
According to a 2011 report in The New England Journal of Medicine, approximately 7.4 percent of all doctors are subject to malpractice claims each year. It is crucial to have a strong malpractice case. The doctors who most commonly face malpractice claims include neurosurgeons, thoracic-cardiovascular surgeons and obstetricians.
The Danger of Medical Malpractice
A 2008 study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that 320,000 patients die unnecessarily in the United States each year as a result of medical errors or negligence. In 2010, the Office of Inspector General for the United States Department of Health and Human Services reported that 180,000 Medicare recipients are killed each year from hospital mistakes.
