Malpractice Litigation

Malpractice litigation is often a long and complicated procedure. It is required for the patient or an legally appointed representative to prove that the doctor violated the duty of care owed to them and that an injury resulted.

There were a variety of proposals made to alter the rules governing medical malpractice. The trial and jury system was replaced with an alternative that would cut costs and speed up settlements, eliminate juries that were too generous and eliminate frivolous claims.

Misdiagnosis

Medical malpractice is often caused by mistakes in diagnosis. It happens thousands of times every year, and can result in devastating consequences, including the need for unnecessary surgery or long hospital stays and excessively aggressive treatment. In some instances, a misdiagnosis may even cause death.

To prove malpractice, it must be demonstrated that the doctor owed an obligation to the patient and breached that duty by failing to diagnose the illness or injury properly. In most instances, proving that the doctor's inability to adhere to the standards of care requires a specialized opinion, for instance, from an expert in medical practice who is knowledgeable about the type of illness involved in the instance. The expert must also prove that the doctor did not properly add the condition to his or her list of differential diagnosis by using methods like asking further questions, conducting further examinations or requesting additional tests in the diagnostic procedure.

A plaintiff must also show that the injuries resulting from an error in diagnosis are a direct result of the breach of duty. This typically involves proving real damages such as past or future medical expenses, income loss in the form of pain and discomfort, shorter life spans, and other damages. The victim must also file a lawsuit within the limitations period, which are usually two or three years after the incident was caused.

These surgical mistakes can result in unexpected medical expenses and further discomfort for patients.

A successful malpractice case requires a convincing claim of negligence on the part of the physician in the dispute.

Wrong-site surgeries are a rare yet serious form of malpractice. This kind of negligence is usually caused by a doctor's inability to follow the surgical recommendation records or the patient's medical records.
