Personal Injury Law
- a tort law - is a complex umbrella of interrelating
laws designed to prevent harm or compensate for harm
to a person or property. This harm or injury may
be a matter of physical injury, mental injury or financial
injury. Medical malpractice or medical negligence
and legal malpractice or legal negligence lawsuits are
guided by personal injury law.
A civil wrong, or a tort,
is recognized by law as grounds for a lawsuit.
Sometimes these wrongs are considered crimes and punishable
with imprisonment, but the primary aim of tort law is
to provide relief through compensation to injured parties
for the damages incurred. Among the types of recoverable
damages are: loss of earnings capacity, pain and suffering,
and reasonable medical expenses. They include
both present and future expected losses.
There are many types of
professional malpractice or negligence.
Any profession may be held to a reasonable professional
standard for their work and their advice. Accountants,
C.P.A.'s or stockbrokers can cause great harm and damage
financially through bookkeeping negligence or erroneous
tax preparation. Architects' plans may be faulty,
causing property loss and financial harm. Surveyors'
errors may be costly to correct and may prevent the
resale of private property. Some types of professional
malpractice are actually white collar crimes or types
of fraud.
Medical or legal negligence
occurs through unreasonable negligence or, more commonly,
failure to provide the expected standard of care in
a given community. Medical or legal malpractice
may involve criminal negligence, malicious intention
or strict liability. Tort law is state law created
through state courts and generally using the Restatement
of Torts (2nd) as an influential guide.
In the medical field, when
a doctor or health care professional agrees to diagnose
or treat a patient, he or she has assumed a duty of
care toward that patient. The health care provider may
not be the doctor, nurse or a member of the staff.
It is possible that the individual is a lab or x-ray
technician with certain qualifications for operating
advanced medical equipment or interpreting results of
tests.
Similar standards apply
to an attorney who has agreed to represent someone legally.
In such an instance, the duty of representation is assumed
and a standard of the profession is expected.
Malpractice laws are extremely
complex. Causing an injury may not be legal malpractice.
Ethically and legally there may be conflicts in duties.
For example, confidentiality between doctor and patient,
attorney and client can conflict with the doctor's or
attorney's duty to the community. Does the patient's
basic right to privacy mean that no one advises the
patient's partner of a diagnosis such as AIDS?
Does the client's right to privacy mean that his current
partner not be advised of a tax lien against their new
business? A doctor is legally obligated to report
gunshot wounds or suspected child abuse to authorities.
An attorney is legally obligated to report certain facts
to the courts. For these reasons, most cases are
brought before an arbitration panel prior to court.
It is always advisable
to be represented by an attorney during arbitration.
A facility or company may
also be liable for malpractice. Many times, a
hospital, an ambulance company, a pharmacy or a nursing
home will be subject to tort law - even a class
action lawsuit.
Some examples of medical
malpractice or negligence are misdiagnoses which result
in delayed or inappropriate treatment. Lifelong
disabilities can result from negligent surgical treatment,
dangerous delivery procedures for newborns and/or incorrect
and sometimes deadly prescriptions.
