In a medical malpractice lawsuit might the fact that the patient became more ill because he forgot to take his medicine affect the outcome of the case?
Yes. In most states, the patient could be deemed to be contributorily negligent. That means that, while the doctor could possibly be found negligent, the patient could also be found negligent, and any damages awarded at trial would be multiplied by the percentage of the doctor's negligence. If the doctor could show that the patient's failure to take the medicine entirely caused the patient's injury, then the patient would be awarded nothing. If you are a doctor involved in a medical malpractice case, you should be represented by a tort attorney who specializes in health care law and/or malpractice cases. If you are a patient suing your doctor, you should be represented by a personal injury attorney with experience in medical malpractice issues.
