Malpractice Litigation
The process of bringing a lawsuit for malpractice is usually a long and complicated process. It is necessary for the patient or an legally appointed representative to prove that the physician breached the duty of care that was owed to them, and that an injury resulted.
Various proposals have been made to change the legal rules governing malpractice claims and replace the jury and trial system with a system that could lower costs, speed settlements, eliminate excessively generous juries and screen out unsubstantial medical claims.
Incorrect diagnosis
The misdiagnosis of a patient is among the most common forms of medical negligence. It occurs millions of times every year, and can result in devastating results, such as the need for unnecessary surgery and long hospital stays and excessively aggressive treatment. In some instances a mistake in diagnosis can result in death.
To prove that there was a malpractice the evidence must show that the doctor owed a duty to the patient and breached the duty by failing to diagnose the illness or injury properly. In the majority of instances, proving the doctor's inability to adhere to the standards of care requires an expert opinion, such as that of an expert medical professional who has a vast knowledge of the type of illness at play in the case. The expert must also demonstrate that the doctor failed to properly add the condition to the list of differential diagnoses by using methods like asking additional questions, observing further or requesting additional tests to aid in the diagnostic process.
A plaintiff also needs to prove that the injuries resulting from the incorrect diagnosis were a direct result of the breach of duty. This typically involves proving actual damages like past or future medical expenses, income loss or lost due to pain and discomfort shortened life span and other damages. The victim must also file the lawsuit within the limitations period which typically are two or three years after the injury was caused.
