Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation can be a long and complicated process. It requires the patient or a legally authorized representative, to show that the doctor owed them a duty of care, that the doctor violated that duty, and that injury resulted.
A variety of ideas have been proposed to modify the rules of law governing malpractice claims and replace the jury and trial system with a system that could lower costs, speed settlements, eliminate excessively generous juries and screen out unsubstantial medical claims.
The wrong diagnosis
Medical malpractice is usually caused by mistakes in diagnosis. It happens millions of times each year and can lead to devastating results, such as a need for unnecessary surgery, long hospital stays, and unnecessarily aggressive treatment. In some cases a mistake in diagnosis can cause death.
To prove malpractice attorneys it must be proven that the doctor was bound by a duty to the patient and breached the obligation by failing to identify the illness or injury properly. In the majority of instances, proving the doctor's failure to live up to the standards of care requires a specialized opinion, such as an expert in medicine who is knowledgeable about the kind of illness that is involved in the case. The expert must also show that the doctor did not add the condition to their list of differential diagnoses by asking more questions, making more observations or requesting additional tests as part of the diagnosis process.
A plaintiff also has to prove that the injuries resulting from the misdiagnosis result from the breach of duty. This usually involves establishing damages that are actual, such as past and future medical expenses as well as lost income, pain and suffering, shortened life expectancy, and other losses. The victim must bring the suit within the statute of limitations which typically is two or three years after the date of the harm.
Wrong Procedure
It's not a pleasant thing to hear that surgeons are performing the wrong procedure on patients around 20 times per week. These surgical errors could lead to unanticipated medical costs as well as additional pain for patients. A skilled medical malpractice lawyer can help you obtain the compensation you deserve for your losses.
A successful malpractice suit demands a strong claim that the doctor is negligent. A claim of negligence due to a surgical error needs to demonstrate that the defendant's course action was different from the standard of care that is expected to be provided by similarly trained physicians in similar circumstances. This can be accomplished by expert testimony as well as a thorough review of medical records.
During the discovery process, your attorney and the defense team will exchange pertinent documents for use in your case. The documents could include medical and surgical documents, lab reports, and evidence of your injuries. Your lawyer will question witnesses in order to gather information on your case. During the witness interview you will be questioned under oath, by the opposing counsel. This is known as a deposition.
Wrong-site surgeries are a relatively rare and serious form of malpractice. This kind of negligence is usually caused by a doctor's inability to follow the surgical recommendation records or the patient's medical record. In this scenario it's easy to demonstrate that negligence was the cause. It's not always easy to decide which surgeon is responsible.

Doctors must exercise extreme care when prescribing medications, to ensure that they are safe and appropriate for the patient. If a doctor's decision isn't in line with the medical standard of treatment and you suffer an injury as the result, it could be a case of malpractice.
Sometimes, the error doesn't occur in the doctor's offices and instead occurs at the hospital. A nurse may misread an order for medication and prescribe the wrong dose or medication. The pharmacy could also make mistakes by filling incorrect medication or a drug that contains harmful ingredients.
