Malpractice Litigation

Malpractice litigation is often a long and complex process. It requires the patient or a legally appointed representative, to prove that the doctor was bound by a duty of care, that the doctor violated the duty and injuries resulted.

Many proposals have been put forward to modify the rules of law governing malpractice claims. They propose to replace the trial and jury system with an alternative that would reduce costs, speed settlements, eliminate excessively large juries and screen out unsubstantial medical claims.

Misdiagnosis

Medical malpractice is often caused by misdiagnosis. It happens a lot every year, and can result in devastating consequences, including the need for unnecessary surgery or long hospital stays and unnecessary treatment. A mistake in diagnosis can result in death in certain cases of severe injury or illness.

To prove malpractice, the doctor must have breached his duty to the patient by failing to diagnose an illness or injury correctly. In most instances, proving a doctor's failure to live up to the standard of care requires an expert opinion, such as from an expert in medicine with a deep understanding of the kind of illness that is involved in the instance. The expert must also demonstrate that the physician failed to sufficiently add the illness to the list of differential diagnosis using methods such as asking additional questions, conducting further examinations or requesting additional tests as part of the diagnostic procedure.

A plaintiff also needs to prove that the injuries resulting from the mistake resulted directly from the breach of duty. This usually means proving real damages such as past or future medical expenses, income lost in the form of pain and discomfort, reduced life span and other losses. The plaintiff must also file the lawsuit within the statutes of limitations, which are usually two or three years after the injury occurred.

It might be shocking to learn that surgeons execute the wrong procedure on a patient about 20 times a week. These errors in surgery can lead to unanticipated medical expenses and more discomfort for patients. A medical malpractice lawyer can help you obtain the compensation you're due for your losses.

A successful malpractice case requires a strong argument that the physician is negligent. A claim of negligence based on an error in surgery needs to prove that the defendant's course of actions was not in accordance with the standards of care that would be offered by similarly trained doctors in similar circumstances.
