Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation can be a lengthy, complicated process. It is the responsibility of the patient or an legally appointed representative to show that the physician violated the duty of care owed to them, and that an injury resulted.
A variety of ideas were proposed to change the lawful rules governing medical malpractice. The trial and jury system was replaced with an alternative which would reduce costs, speed up settlements, reduce juries with excessively generous verdicts and also screen out frivolous claims.
Misdiagnosis
The misdiagnosis of a patient is among the most common forms of medical malpractice. It happens millions of times every year, with devastating results, including unnecessary surgery, lengthy hospital stays, or ad hoc treatment. In some cases, a misdiagnosis may even cause death.
To prove that there was a malpractice, it must be demonstrated that the doctor owed a duty to the patient and violated this duty by failing to diagnose the illness or injury properly. In the majority of cases, the inability of the doctor to provide the required care is proven by an expert's opinion. This could be an expert medical professional who has extensive knowledge of the type of illness that is being investigated. The expert must also prove that the physician failed to adequately add the disease to the list of differential diagnosis using methods such as asking more questions, observing further, or ordering more tests in the diagnostic process.
A plaintiff also needs to prove that the injuries resulting from the incorrect diagnosis were the direct result of the breach of duty. This typically involves proving damages that are actual, such as future and past medical expenses and malpractice lawsuit lost income, as well as the suffering of others, a reduced life expectancy and other damages. The plaintiff must also file the suit within the statute of limitations which usually are two or three years after the injury was incurred.
