Can you sue a doctor for medical malpractice? A medical mistake may seem obvious, but proving a malpractice claim, and recovering compensation, can be far more complicated.
Dr. Joseph Ramos is both a practicing medical doctor and an attorney. In this episode of Dr. Lawyer Breakdown, he joins host Bradford Katy to explain what doctors think about malpractice lawsuits, why some practice defensive medicine, and what patients must establish to bring a claim.
They discuss a case involving a surgical sponge left inside a patient, the cost of expert witnesses, why damages affect whether a case can be pursued, and how limits on damages differ between Colorado and Arizona. Dr. Ramos also shares how working on both sides of medicine and law shapes the way he cares for and advocates for patients.
In this episode:
- Can you sue a doctor for making a mistake?
- What is defensive medicine?
- What does it take to prove medical malpractice?
- Why might a law firm decline an apparent malpractice case?
- How can damage caps affect compensation?
