What is Pulmonologist Malpractice?

Pulmonologist malpractice is a type of medical malpractice that occurs when specialist doctors in diagnosing and treating respiratory conditions fail to adhere to the appropriate standards of care, causing injury to their patients. 

Pulmonologists are medical professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases and conditions affecting the lungs, bronchial tubes, and other related structures. These doctors undergo extensive training to provide proper care for patients with breathing difficulties and other respiratory issues. When they are negligent in their duties, the consequences can be devastating. 

Common examples of pulmonologist malpractice include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of serious conditions such as lung cancer
  • Improper performance of procedures like biopsies or bronchoscopies
  • Prescription and administration of improper drugs or improper dosages
  • Failure to properly monitor a patient's condition

These errors can lead to the progression of the disease, unnecessary suffering, and even wrongful death.

Certificate of Merit for Medical Malpractice Cases 

To prevent frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits, New York State requires the submission of a Certificate of Merit. This is a sworn statement by an expert witness, usually a qualified physician, certifying that the defendant was likely negligent in treating the plaintiff.

While requirements vary by state, it generally must include the following:

  • Review of medical records
  • An explanation of the applicable standard of care
  • An opinion that the defendant failed to meet that standard
