Medical Malpractice Litigation
Medical malpractice litigation can be complex and time-consuming. Both defendants and plaintiffs are also obliged to pay a significant price.
To win monetary compensation for malpractice, the patient must prove that the substandard medical treatment led to their injury. This requires establishing four pillars of law which are professional obligations, breach of that duty, injury and damages.
Discovery
One of the most crucial aspects of a medical malpractice case is the collection of evidence through written interrogatories and requests for the production of documents. Interrogatories are inquiries that have to be answered under an oath by the opposition to the lawsuit. They can be used to establish facts to be used in trial. Demands for the production of documents permit tangible evidence to be retrieved for example, medical records or test results.
In many cases, your attorney will be able to take the defendant's deposition which is an audio recording of a question and answer session. This allows your attorney to ask the witness or doctor questions that might not be permitted at trial. It can be extremely beneficial in cases involving experts as witnesses.
The information you gather during pretrial discovery is used in trial to prove the following components of your claim:
Breach of the standard care
The injury is caused by the violation of the standard of care
Proximate cause
A doctor's failure to apply the expertise and knowledge held by physicians in their field of specialization and that resulted in injury to a patient
Mediation

Mediation is a cost-effective and time-efficient method to settle a medical malpractice case. The parties are able to negotiate more freely as they don't have the cost of a trial, and the possibility of jury verdicts to be diminished.
Before mediation, both sides will provide the mediator with brief details about the case (a "mediation brief"). The parties typically allow their communication to go through their lawyer, rather than directly between themselves at this point as direct communication could be used against them later in court. As the mediation progresses, it is a good idea to focus on the strengths of your case, and also be prepared to acknowledge its weaknesses, as well. This will allow the mediator to fill any gaps and offer you an appropriate offer.
