A failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can significantly affect a patient's prognosis. When an illness could and should have been diagnosed in the early stages or while it was treatable, a delay can result in wrongful death. Common examples of failure to diagnose cases include the failure to diagnose cancer or other life threatening conditions.
Many parties can be responsible for a failure to diagnose, including doctors, lab technicians or radiology assistants. We will investigate the case and determine who is liable for your injury or wrongful death of your loved one.
Some of the most frequent causes of misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose include:
- Ignoring patient's risk factors and/or symptoms
- Failure to do appropriate diagnostic tests
- Misreading test results
- Pathology errors
- Radiology errors
- Laboratory errors
- Failure to follow up on test results
If we find that medical malpractice occurred, you may be entitled to compensation for losses such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In wrongful death cases, you may also be entitled to compensation for funeral expenses and the personal loss of a loved one.
