How Do Malpractice Claims Differ From Other Personal Injury Claims?

In most personal injury cases, a plaintiff must prove negligence by the defendant, that those actions led to the plaintiff’s injury and that the defendant is responsible for the damages caused. In medical malpractice cases, plaintiffs must prove these three conditions exist:

• Duty of care: This is usually the easiest part of the case, where you must prove that you were a patient of the doctor or other medical professional when the mistake happened.
• Negligence: Proving this step can be complicated. An experienced medical malpractice attorney must prove that the medical professional did not do what another doctor would have reasonably done under the same circumstances.
• Duty of care was breached: This step links the healthcare professional’s negligence with failing to live up to their duty of care, which resulted in your injury or illness.

What To Know About Shoulder Dystocia - Expecting mothers in Tennessee should know what to do if there is shoulder dystocia during labor. This is a birth injury that occurs when a baby’s shoulders become stuck while passing through the mother’s pelvis during the labor process. It can happen with one or both of the shoulders.

The good news is that most of the time, babies with shoulder dystocia are born without any complications. Unfortunately, there are still those who do suffer long-term adverse effects from the injury, which include problems with both the mother and the baby. This sometimes warrants a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Who Can Be Held Liable In A Birth Injury Lawsuit?

Multiple parties can be held legally responsible in a birth injury case. This includes nurses, anesthesiologists, obstetricians, and hospitals that don’t meet the expected standard of care. Liability can arise from the failure to act quickly during emergencies, misdiagnosis, and other improper medical procedures.

In some instances, pharmaceutical companies may also be held responsible if a defective medication contributed to the injury. In order to determine liability, in-depth investigations must be done in tandem with expert medical testimony to prove negligence.
