Malpractice litigation is often an extended and complex process. It is necessary for the patient or an legally appointed representative to show that the physician breached the obligation of care owed to them and that an injury resulted.

Many proposals have been put forward to modify the rules of law governing malpractice claims. The idea is to replace the jury system and trial with an alternative that would reduce costs, expedite settlements, eliminate overly generous juries, and eliminate frivolous medical claims.

To prove malpractice, it must be demonstrated that the doctor owed a duty to the patient and breached that obligation by failing to recognize the injury or illness properly. In most instances, proving a doctor's failure to live up to the standard of care requires an expert opinion, for instance, from an expert in medical practice who has a vast knowledge of the type of illness at play in the instance. The expert must also show that the doctor didn't add the disease to their list of differential diagnoses by asking more questions, making more observations or ordering additional tests as part of the diagnosing process.

A plaintiff must also demonstrate that the injuries caused by the misdiagnosis were the direct result of the breach of duty. This usually involves establishing actual damages, such as future and past medical expenses as well as lost income, the suffering of others, a reduced life expectancy and other damages. The victim must also file a lawsuit within the limitations period that are typically two or three years after the damage was incurred.
