Incorrect diagnosis
Medical malpractice is usually caused by mistakes in diagnosis. It happens thousands of times each year and can have devastating consequences, like the need for unneeded surgery, long hospital stays, and unnecessarily aggressive treatment. In some cases an error in diagnosis could result in death.
To establish malpractice, the doctor must have violated his duty to the patient by failing to diagnose an injury or illness correctly. In the majority of instances, proving that the doctor's failure to live up to the standards of care requires an expert opinion, such as an expert medical professional with extensive knowledge about the kind of illness that is involved in the instance. The expert must also show that the doctor failed to properly include the disease in the list of differential diagnoses by using methods such as asking additional questions, making additional observations or requesting additional tests as part of the diagnosis process.
A plaintiff must also demonstrate that the injuries caused by the misdiagnosis resulted directly from the breach of duty. This typically involves proving actual damages, like past and future medical expenses, lost income, suffering and suffering, a shorter life expectancy, and other losses. The plaintiff must also file a lawsuit within the statutes of limitations which usually are two or three years after the harm was incurred.
