Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation is often a long and complex process. It is required for the patient or a legally appointed representative to prove that the physician breached the obligation of care owed to them and that an injury resulted.
Many proposals were put forward to alter the guidelines governing medical malpractice. The trial and jury system was replaced by an alternative that would cut costs and speed up settlements, reduce juries with excessively generous verdicts and weed out frivolous claims.
The wrong diagnosis
Medical malpractice is usually caused by mistaken diagnosis. It happens a lot each year and can have devastating consequences, like a need for unnecessary surgery or long hospital stays and excessively aggressive treatment. A misdiagnosis could 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 an obligation to the patient and breached this obligation by failing to identify the condition or injury correctly. Most of the time, the inability of the doctor to meet the standards of care is demonstrated through an expert opinion. This can be a medical professional who has extensive knowledge of the type of illness that is being investigated. The expert must also prove that the doctor did not add the illness to their list of differential diagnoses by asking further questions, making more observations or requesting further tests as part of the diagnosing procedure.
A plaintiff must also show that the injuries resulting from a misdiagnosis are a direct result from the breach of duty. This usually involves proving real damages such as past or future medical expenses, income loss in the form of pain and discomfort, diminished life span and other expenses. The victim must also file a lawsuit within the statutes of limitations, which are usually two or three years after the damage was incurred.
