医疗事故的现实

Medical malpractice lawsuits can best be described as a cause of action arising from a healthcare provider’s failure to treat a patient within the accepted standards of care. As a result, the patient must have suffered injury to have their day in court. When physicians act without regard to the generally accepted methods of treatment, they are said to have acted outside of the standard of care. This simply means that their chosen course of action in a given situation was not the standard that most other doctors would have lived up to. Sometimes a suit may result when a physician fails to run a routine test and fails to diagnose properly because of that. Other times a suit can result from a physician choosing to proceed with an operation that has a very high risk of resulting in injury. Whatever the situation, 医疗事故 suits are a means of holding healthcare providers responsible for their negative effects on a patient’s health.

在纽约证明医疗事故

一种 医疗事故 诉讼需要证明医生未能按照护理标准进行治疗。为了做到这一点，需要其他医疗保健提供者的专家证词。这样做的成本可能相当高，每小时约 $300 起，只是让专家审查医疗记录。如果进行沉积，成本将更接近每天 $3,000。专家将需要准确确定在与原告患者类似的情况下哪些行为属于护理标准，然后描述被告医生未能遵守标准的方式。在纽约，完成医疗事故诉讼的平均时间约为四年。

一旦原告对他们的案件进行了陈述，并且事实审理者（法官或陪审团）发现被告对渎职行为负有责任，损害赔偿阶段就开始了。可以判给医疗事故原告两种类型的损害赔偿。第一种是补偿性损害赔偿，其目的是补偿原告与医生医疗事故合理相关的费用。这包括医疗费用、工资损失、未来收入损失、痛苦和苦难、享受的损失以及其他类似的损害。第二类是惩罚性赔偿。惩罚性赔偿旨在惩罚故意伤害原告或鲁莽对待患者的被告。惩罚性赔偿自然更难追究，因为它们要求患者提供医生动机或意图的证据，而不是证明他们的行为未能达到公认的护理标准。
