Malpractice Litigation

Malpractice litigation can be a long and complicated process. It requires the patient or a legally designated representative, to prove that the physician was obligated to them under a duty of care, that the doctor violated the duty and harm resulted.

A variety of ideas have been proposed to alter the legal rules that govern malpractice claims. These proposals would replace the trial and jury system by a different system that will reduce costs, speed settlements, eliminate overly generous juries and filter out unsubstantial medical claims.

Incorrect diagnosis

Medical malpractice is usually caused by incorrect diagnosis. It occurs in a multitude of instances every year, and can have devastating results, including unnecessary surgery, lengthy hospital stays, or ad hoc treatment. A misdiagnosis can even result in death, in some cases involving severe illness or injury.

In order to prove malpractice, a doctor must have violated his obligation to the patient by not diagnosing an injury or illness in a timely manner. In most instances, proving the doctor's inability to adhere to the standard of care requires an expert opinion, such as an expert in medical practice who has a vast knowledge of the kind of illness that is involved in the case. The expert must also show that the doctor did not properly add the condition to his or her list of differential diagnoses using methods like asking additional questions, observing further or ordering additional tests to aid in the diagnostic procedure.

A plaintiff must also show that the injuries caused by the misdiagnosis resulted directly from the breach of duty. This usually means establishing damages that are actual, such as past and future medical expenses, lost income, suffering and suffering, a shorter life expectancy and other losses. In addition, the victim must file the lawsuit within the time limit of the statute of limitations which is usually two or three years from the date of the harm.

The wrong procedure

It may be shocking to learn that surgeons execute the incorrect procedure on a patient about 20 times a week. These surgical errors typically result in patients suffering unexpected medical expenses as well as pain and suffering. A medical malpractice lawyer can help you get the compensation you are entitled to for your losses.

A successful malpractice case requires a convincing case of negligence on the part of the physician in the dispute. A malpractice claim stemming from a surgical error must demonstrate that the defendant's actions deviated from the standard of care that would have been provided by a physician with the same training in similar circumstances. This can be done through expert testimony as well as a thorough review of medical documents.

During the discovery process, your attorney and the defense team will share relevant documents to be used in your case. These documents may include medical and surgical records, lab reports, and evidence of your injury. Your lawyer will interview witnesses in order to gather information regarding your case. During the interview with a witness, the attorney opposing you will question you under swearing. This is referred to as a deposition.

Surgery that is performed at the wrong site is a relatively rare, but serious type of malpractice. This kind of malpractice is usually triggered due to a doctor's failure follow the surgical recommendation records or the medical record of the patient. In this instance it's possible to prove that negligence occurred. However, determining who should be held accountable is not always easy.

Wrong Drugs

Unfortunately, these busy environments result in mistakes that could cause catastrophic harm.
