To prove negligence, the patient or their lawyer must demonstrate that a competent doctor under similar circumstances and in the same area would not have missed the diagnosis.
There are many misdiagnosis that could be considered negligence, but. Even highly trained and experienced doctors make mistakes, therefore any claim of malpractice has to be supported by other factors such as breach, proximate causation, and actual injury. If a physician fails to sterilize his equipment prior the time he administers anesthesia and the patient gets infected due to this, the doctor may be found to be negligent.
In most instances, lawsuits claiming malpractice will be filed in the state trial court where the alleged misconduct occurred. However, federal courts might have jurisdiction in certain situations. For instance, a claim may be brought in federal court if it is the interpretation of the time limit for filing a claim or when there is a substantial variation in the citizenship of the parties involved in the case. Certain claims are settled through binding arbitration. This is a less-formal process that is governed by professional decision makers.
