Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation is often a long and complicated process. It requires the patient or a legally designated representative, to prove that the physician was bound by a duty of care, that the physician violated that duty, and that injury resulted.
A variety of ideas have been proposed to change the legal rules governing malpractice claims. The idea is to replace the trial and jury system by a different system that will reduce costs, expedite settlements, end overly generous juries and screen out frivolous medical claims.
Incorrect diagnosis
Medical malpractice is often caused by mistaken diagnosis. It occurs countless times every year, with devastating consequences, including unneeded surgical procedures, prolonged hospital stays, or aggressive treatment. In some instances the wrong diagnosis can result in death.
In order to prove malpractice, a doctor must have breached his obligation to the patient by failing to diagnose an injury or illness accurately. Most of the time, the inability of a doctor to meet the standards of treatment is confirmed by an expert's opinion. This could be an expert in medicine who has extensive knowledge of the type of illness that is being investigated. The expert should also demonstrate that the physician failed to properly include the disease in his or her list of differential diagnosis by using methods such as asking more questions, making additional observations or requesting further tests as part of the diagnostic process.
A plaintiff also needs to prove that the injuries caused by the mistake resulted directly from the breach of duty. This usually involves establishing actual damages, like past and future medical expenses as well as lost income, suffering and pain, shortened life expectancy and other losses. The victim must bring the lawsuit within the statute of limitations which typically is two or three years from when the damage occurred.
