Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation can be an extended and complex process. It requires the patient, or a legally authorized representative, to show that the doctor was bound by a duty of care, and that the physician violated that duty, and that injuries resulted.
Various proposals have been made to modify the rules of law governing malpractice claims and replace the trial and jury system with a system that could lower costs, speed settlements, eliminate overly generous juries and screen out unsubstantial medical claims.
Incorrect diagnosis
The misdiagnosis of a patient is among the most common types of medical negligence. It occurs millions of times each year and can lead to devastating results, such as the need for unneeded surgery and long hospital stays and unnecessarily aggressive treatment. In some cases, a misdiagnosis may even cause death.
To establish malpractice, the doctor must have violated his duty to the patient by failing to diagnose an injury or illness correctly. In most cases, proving the doctor's failure to live up to the standards of care requires a specialized opinion, such as that of an expert in medical practice with a deep understanding of the type of illness involved in the instance. The expert has to prove that the doctor did not add the condition to their differential diagnosis list by asking further questions, making more observations or requesting further tests as part of the diagnosing procedure.
A plaintiff must also demonstrate that the injuries caused by an incorrect diagnosis result from the breach of duty. This typically means proving the actual damages like past or future medical expenses, lost income or lost due to pain and discomfort shortened life span, and other losses. The plaintiff must also file the lawsuit within the time limit of the statute of limitations, which are usually two or three years after the injury was caused.

These surgical mistakes can lead to unanticipated medical costs as well as additional discomfort for patients.
