Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation can be a lengthy and complex procedure. It requires the patient, or a legally appointed representative, to prove that the physician was bound by a duty of care, and that the doctor did not fulfill that duty and injuries resulted.
A variety of ideas were proposed to alter the legal rules governing medical malpractice. The trial and jury system was replaced with an alternative that would cut costs and speed up settlements. It would also reduce juries with excessively generous verdicts, and screen out fraudulent claims.
Incorrect diagnosis
Misdiagnosis is among the most frequent forms of medical malpractice. It happens millions of times each year, with devastating results, including unnecessary surgical procedures, prolonged hospital stays, or aggressive treatment. In some instances an error in diagnosis could result in death.
To prove that there was a malpractice, the doctor must have violated his obligation to the patient by failing to diagnose an injury or illness accurately. In the majority of instances, proving that the doctor's inability to adhere to the standards of care requires an expert opinion, such as from an expert in medical practice who is knowledgeable about the specific illness that is at issue in the instance. The expert has to prove that the doctor did not add the condition to their list of differential diagnoses by asking further questions, making more observations, or ordering further tests as part of the diagnosis procedure.
A plaintiff also needs to prove that the injuries caused by the incorrect diagnosis resulted directly from the breach of duty. This usually involves establishing actual damages, such as future and past medical expenses and lost income, as well as pain and suffering, shortened life expectancy, and other losses. The plaintiff must also file the suit within the statutes of limitations that are typically two or three years after the damage was caused.
