If a medical professional violated the applicable standard of medical care and caused the plaintiff injury, they are likely liable for damages. These damages may be pursued through a medical malpractice lawsuit. When any medical professional commits medical malpractice, the harm caused can be incredibly severe. Failure to properly treat patients may be negligence under the right circumstances.
Medical negligence requires that the medical staff violated their applicable duty of care to the patient. The violation must also have been the cause of the injury. These elements must be proven in court. This is most often accomplished through witness testimony, medical evidence, and patient records. Without proper proof, an otherwise winning lawsuit can fail. A skilled medical malpractice lawyer understands what to present to properly showcase the plaintiff’s claims.
Medical malpractice can occur in any number of ways, but a few of the more common include:
A consultation with a trained malpractice attorney could investigate the incident and help determine if filing a lawsuit should be the next step.
In some situations, the aftereffects of a medical error may be noticeable, but many cases, the injuries are not immediately recognized. There may be signs that a mistake has occurred. The potential signals that malpractice occurred include:
If these have occurred, they could be signs of possible malpractice.
Alabama Code Section 6-5-482 requires that most medical malpractice claims be filed within two years of the date on which the incident occurred. If the injury was not discovered within that time frame, the deadline may be extended to six months from the date it was discovered.
A consultation of the case can help you determine what your rights may be in medical malpractice case. If you suffered injuries due to medical malpractice, significant financial compensation may be available to you. An experienced Athens medical malpractice lawyer could help fight for your rights and seek the compensation you need. Contact us today.
