Malpractice Litigation
Malpractice litigation can be a lengthy and complicated process. It requires the patient or a legally designated representative, to prove that the physician had a duty to care, that the physician violated that duty, and that harm resulted.
Many proposals were put forward to change the lawful rules that govern medical malpractice claims. The trial and jury system was replaced with an alternative that would cut costs, speed up settlements, eliminate juries that were too generous and weed out frivolous claims.
Incorrect diagnosis
Medical malpractice is often caused by misdiagnosis. It happens millions of times each year, with devastating consequences, including unneeded surgeries, long hospital stays, or even aggressive treatment. In some instances, a misdiagnosis may even cause death.

In most cases, the inability of a doctor to meet the standards of care is demonstrated by an expert's assessment. This can be an expert medical professional who has extensive knowledge of the type of disease in question. The expert must also show that the doctor did not add the condition to their list of differential diagnoses by asking additional questions, making more observations or requesting further tests in the diagnosis process.
