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.
