Malpractice Litigation

The expert has to prove that the doctor did not add the illness to their list of differential diagnoses by asking additional questions, or making further observations or ordering additional tests as part of the diagnosing procedure.
A plaintiff must also show that the injuries resulting from the misdiagnosis were the direct result of the breach of duty.

The plaintiff must also file a lawsuit within the limitations period, which are usually two or three years after the harm was incurred.
