malpractice attorney Litigation
Malpractice litigation can be a long complex process. It is the responsibility of the patient or legally appointed representative to prove that the physician violated the duty of care that was owed to them and that a repercussion resulted.
Many proposals were put forward to change the legal rules that govern medical malpractice claims. The trial and jury system was replaced with an alternative that would cut costs, speed up settlements, reduce juries with excessively generous verdicts, and screen out fraudulent claims.
The wrong diagnosis
The misdiagnosis of a patient is among the most prevalent forms of medical malpractice. It happens thousands of times every year and can result in devastating consequences, including the need for surgery that is not needed and long hospital stays and unnecessarily aggressive treatment. A misdiagnosis can even result in death, in some cases that involve severe injury or illness.
To establish malpractice, the doctor must have violated his duty to the patient by failing to diagnose an injury or illness in a timely manner. In most instances, proving a doctor's inability to adhere to the standard of care requires an expert opinion, such as an expert medical professional with a deep understanding of the kind of illness that is involved in the case. The expert must also demonstrate that the doctor did not add the disease to their list of differential diagnoses by asking further questions, making more observations or ordering additional tests as part of the diagnosing process.
A plaintiff must also show that the injuries caused by the misdiagnosis resulted directly from the breach of duty. This typically means proving the real damages such as past or future medical expenses, lost income as well as pain and discomfort, reduced life span, and other damages. The victim must file the suit within the statute of limitations, which is typically two or three years from the date of the incident.

A successful malpractice lawsuit demands an enviable claim of negligence on the part of the doctor in the dispute. A claim of negligence that stems from a surgical error needs to demonstrate that the defendant's course of action deviated from the standard of care that would be provided by similarly trained doctors in similar circumstances.

Emergency Room Errors
Emergency rooms can be high-stress and high-pressure environments. This can be a risk for patients. Doctors are under pressure to treat as many patients as they can.

Unfortunately, these busy environments result in mistakes that could cause catastrophic harm.
ER errors can include anything from misdiagnosis to premature discharging of patients. The most frequent causes of ER errors are a lack of medical history, misinterpretation of test results and the inability to consult specialists. ER staff could make errors when communicating with each other and patients, for example, not communicating symptoms of allergies, health issues or other conditions, or giving incorrect instructions.
To be able to file an action for malpractice the plaintiff first needs to demonstrate that the medical professional did not follow standard of care. The standard of care is the amount of care that a reasonable medical professional with the same education and experience would have offered in similar circumstances. The plaintiff has to prove that this negligence caused their injury and damages. A successful plaintiff could recover compensation for past and future medical bills, physical pain and suffering, loss of wages and earning capacity as well as funeral expenses in the event that they are applicable.
