I'd say (at least) three ways:

1) Docs using it to double check themselves before diagnosing patients, thereby, hopefully, limiting their liability.

2) Patients getting second opinions from Deep Patient and suing the previous doc for not catching a disease.

3) Patient getting diagnosed at a very late stage of an illness and patient + family thinking earlier docs should've caught disease. Hire lawyer, lawyer runs through Deep Patient simulation, Deep Patient identifies illness, DP identification used to prosecute earlier docs. I guess kinda like 2.

Does your point 2 exist today with human doctors? Can you sue after getting a second opinion?

And couldn't it also make a wrong diagnosis? Who do you sue in that case?

How would you know if it made a wrong prediction? It would take a lot of sampling and time to show it.
