FIRST UP
The proliferation of medical malpractice and misdiagnosis is alarming (as will be discussed later on this page). Patients who are seeking quality, professional help for their medical issues are far too frequently misdiagnosed receive inadequate and even improper treatment. We are fortunate to have quality medical professionals and facilities in Boise but mistakes can happen. While the medical community is prepared to deal with these errors and omissions through extensive insurance and legal representation, often Boise area patients don’t understand their rights or how to proceed to get justice when legitimate medical malpractice occurs. Some may have even been made a financial offer from an insurer in an effort to stop an injured party from seeking legal counsel.

The Journal of the American Medical Association places medical malpractice as the third leading cause of death in the nation, following only heart disease and cancer. This is astounding, especially considering patients trust the medical community to resolve their medical problems, not make them worse. Medical malpractice and misdiagnosis problems don’t always lead to death, however. They can also lead to unnecessary pain and suffering. A failure to diagnose, a misdiagnosis or malpractice can result in lost time from work or even the ability to be gainfully employed. It can lead to additional medical procedures creating further pain and potential financial loss. If medical negligence has had a negative impact on your health or on the health of someone in your family, you are far from being alone. It is important, however, you get the legal help you deserve. It can start with determining the responsible party in your particular case.
Patients who have been the victim of a misdiagnosis or malpractice may make an assumption that only their doctor may be held responsible. In reality, responsible parties may include other medical professionals. Multiple parties may have been compliant in a malpractice situation which may include:
‣ Physicians
‣ Surgeons
‣ Dentists
‣ Psychiatrists
‣ Pharmacists
‣ Nurses
‣ Osteopaths
‣ Chiropractors
Medical facilities and organizations may also be held responsible for any contributions they may have had leading to a misdiagnosis or malpractice case. The potential of multiple responsible parties is one of the reasons experienced legal help is so critical in a medical malpractice case. At Litster Frost Injury Lawyers, we will scour medical records and tests in better determining those responsible.

Idaho follows the comparative negligence rule, which means that a court will look at both parties’ actions and level of fault in the case of a car accident.
Even if you were both driving irresponsibly, if the other driver was driving more carelessly, then you may still have a case. It’s important to recognize, however, that any fault on your part will limit the amount of damages which you can receive.
