    malpractice law firms Litigation

    Malpractice litigation can be a lengthy and complex process. It requires the patient or a legally designated representative, to show that the physician had a duty to care, and that the doctor violated that duty, and that harm resulted.

    There have been a variety of proposals to modify the rules of law governing malpractice claims and replace the jury system and trial with a new system that would lower costs, speed settlements, eliminate excessively large juries and screen out unsubstantial medical claims.

    The wrong diagnosis

    Medical malpractice is usually caused by mistakes in diagnosis. It happens millions of times every year, resulting in devastating results, including unnecessary surgeries, long hospital stays, or aggressive treatment. A misdiagnosis could result in death, in certain cases of severe injuries or illness.

    To prove malpractice, it must be demonstrated that the doctor was bound by a duty to the patient and breached that obligation by not diagnosing the injury or illness correctly. In the majority of instances, proving a doctor's inability to adhere to the standard of care requires a specialized opinion, such as that of a medical professional who is knowledgeable about the type of illness involved in the case. The expert must also show that the physician failed to adequately add the disease to the list of differential diagnosis by using methods such as asking more questions, conducting further examinations, or ordering more tests to aid in the diagnostic procedure.

    A plaintiff must also show that the injuries caused by the mistake were a direct result of the breach of duty. This typically involves proving actual damages, including past and future medical expenses and lost income, as well as the suffering of others, a reduced life expectancy and other losses. The victim must also file the lawsuit within the limitations period that are typically two or three years after the incident occurred.

    A successful malpractice suit demands a strong case that proves the doctor was negligent.

This can be accomplished by expert testimony or a thorough analysis of medical records.

Doctors should exercise extreme caution when prescribing medication to ensure that they are safe and suitable for the patient.

Unfortunately, these busy environments create mistakes that could cause catastrophic harm.

Most ER errors are caused by a lack of medical history, a incorrect interpretation of test results or diagnosis and a failure consult specialists. ER staff can also make mistakes in communicating with one another and with patients, such as not communicating allergies, health problems or adverse reactions or giving incorrect directions.

The standard of care refers to the level of care that an honest medical professional with the same training and experience would have offered in similar circumstances. The plaintiff must establish that negligence was the reason for their injury and damages.
