Do You Have a Valid Medical Malpractice Case?

two people are shaking hands

Medical malpractice cases are a bit different from typical personal injury claims. Rather than having to establish a duty of care — a necessity in personal injury cases — medical malpractice claims must first establish that a doctor-patient relationship exists. This relationship in itself establishes a duty of care on the part of the medical practitioner. It’s also necessary to show that a healthcare provider failed to uphold an appropriate standard of care toward the patient. This means that they engaged in actions that are not considered standard in the broader medical community.

What many people fail to realize is that not all negative outcomes constitute negligence. There are times when bad things can happen, even when a healthcare professional does everything by the book. This element can make medical malpractice cases very complicated, and it is a major reason that victims should have an experienced medical malpractice attorney rather than a more general practitioner. For instance, what if someone dies after surgery? Was it because their disease was too far along already, or did serious surgical mistakes – such as wrong side surgery – occur during the procedure? While never events like this should happen very rarely, if at all, they sometimes do, leaving everyone involved trying to figure out what happened. This complexity is why Virginia requires a third-party expert certification for most malpractice claims.

An attorney at Wallace Wason, PLLC, may be able to help you with this and more. Whether you’re suffering due to a medication error that caused severe side effects or a missed diagnosis that kept you from getting the proper treatment, we will work hard to ensure you can afford the medical care you now need. Contact us today to get started on your medical malpractice case.

Important Information for Family Members of Victims

client is searching for the lawyer in the web

It’s an unfortunate truth, but not every victim of healthcare negligence will be able to file a medical malpractice claim, even though such errors remain one of the leading instances of death in America.

If you’ve lost a loved one to birth injuries, anesthesia errors, or surgery for a medical condition, you may be entitled to seek compensation and justice on their behalf. However, Virginia requires that a personal representative of the estate file on behalf of the deceased person’s heirs. If no will was left specifying an executor, a friend or family member might be appointed to this position by the court.

If this claim results in compensation, the money will not go to the personal representative unless they’re a member of the family. And even in those instances, only specific parties would be entitled to financial recovery. These family members may include spouses, children, parents, siblings, or other relatives if the aforementioned parties are not available. It’s also worth noting that the wrongful death statute of limitations in Virginia is two years. Pay attention to this deadline if you’re even considering getting legal help. It doesn’t matter if a wrong side surgery or medication error led to death; failing to file within two years of your loved one’s death could remove your right to compensation.

To learn more about how medical malpractice attorneys can guide you through your legal claim to get the compensation you deserve, call our law offices at 703-420-3725. Our skilled, compassionate lawyers can help you recover damages after a medication error, wrong side surgery, missed diagnosis, or other major mistake injured you.
