Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation is often a lengthy and complex process. It requires the patient, or a legally appointed representative, to prove that the doctor owed them a duty of care, and that the physician breached that duty and that injury resulted.
There were a variety of proposals made to change the legal rules governing medical malpractice claims. The trial and jury system was replaced by an alternative that would cut costs and speed up settlements, remove juries that are too generous and eliminate frivolous claims.
Incorrect diagnosis
Medical malpractice is usually caused by mistakes in diagnosis. It happens millions of times every year, resulting in devastating consequences, including unnecessary surgeries, long hospital stays, or ad hoc treatment. A mistake in diagnosis can result in death, in some cases that involve severe injuries or illness.
To prove malpractice it must be proven that the doctor was bound by the patient a duty and breached that obligation by not diagnosing the injury or illness properly. In the majority of cases, inability of a doctor to provide the required treatment is confirmed by an expert's opinion. This can be a medical professional who has extensive knowledge of the type of illness in question. The expert must also prove that the doctor did not add the illness to their differential diagnosis list by asking additional questions, or making further observations or ordering additional tests as part of the diagnosing procedure.
A plaintiff must also prove that the injuries caused by an incorrect diagnosis result from the breach of duty. This typically involves proving actual damages such as past or future medical expenses, lost income in the form of pain and discomfort, diminished life span, and other expenses. Finally, the victim must bring the suit within the time limit of the statute of limitations which typically is two or three years after the date of the harm.
