Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation can be a long, complicated process. It requires the patient, or a legally authorized representative, to show that the physician was bound by a duty of care, and that the doctor violated the duty and injury resulted.
Many proposals were put forward to change the legal rules governing medical malpractice claims. The trial and jury system was replaced with an alternative that would cut costs and speed up settlements, remove juries that are too generous, and screen out frivolous claims.

Misdiagnosis is one of the most common types of medical negligence. It occurs millions of times every year, with devastating consequences, including unnecessary surgery, prolonged hospital stays, or even aggressive treatment. An incorrect diagnosis could result in death in certain cases of severe injuries or illness.
To prove malpractice, the doctor must have breached his obligation to the patient by not diagnosing an injury or illness correctly. Most of the time, the failure of the physician to meet the standard of treatment is confirmed through an expert opinion. This could be a medical professional with extensive knowledge of the type of illness in question. The expert should also demonstrate that the doctor did not adequately add the disease to the list of differential diagnosis using methods like asking additional questions, observing further or requesting additional tests in the diagnostic procedure.
A plaintiff also has to prove that the injuries caused by the misdiagnosis result from the breach of duty. This usually means proving real damages such as 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 a lawsuit within the statutes of limitations that are typically two or three years after the damage was incurred.
