Malpractice Litigation

Malpractice litigation can be a lengthy and complex procedure. It is required for the patient or a legally appointed representative to prove that the doctor violated the duty of care owed to them and that an injury resulted.

It occurs millions of times every year, with devastating results, including unnecessary surgery, lengthy hospital stays, or aggressive treatment. A misdiagnosis could result in death in some cases involving severe injury or illness.

In order to prove malpractice, a doctor must have violated his obligation to the patient by not diagnosing an injury or illness in a timely manner. In the majority of cases, the inability of a doctor to meet the standard of medical care is established by an expert opinion. This could be a medical professional who has extensive knowledge of the type of illness in question. The expert must also show that the physician did not properly include the disease in his or her list of differential diagnosis using methods like asking additional questions, making additional observations, or ordering more tests in the diagnostic process.

A plaintiff also has to prove that the injuries resulting from an error in diagnosis are a direct result of the breach of duty. This typically involves proving actual damages, such as past and future medical expenses, lost income, the suffering of others, a reduced life expectancy and other losses. The victim must also file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations which typically are two or three years after the harm occurred.
