Handeling Delays and Negligence with Diganosis
Diagnosing health problems in a timely manner can often be the difference between curing someone with a serious illness or seeing their medical condition getting significantly worse, sometimes resulting in death.
Any delay in diagnosing a serious health condition can be harmful. It’s also why medical professionals are often so reluctant to admit that they did anything wrong. They know that doing so can cost them thousands or even millions of dollars.

We Can Stand for Your Rights
Diagnostic error cases can be very complicated. That’s because medical professionals often deny doing anything wrong. They claim they did everything they could to diagnose a serious medical condition. The fact that they failed to do so was merely an accident, many medical professionals often insist. That’s not good enough. Often, many doctors could have done more. They could have requested additional medical tests. They could have sought a second opinion from another physician. Don’t just take their word for it. Talk to us. We can investigate.

Types of Diagnostic Errors
Delayed Diagnosis
Timing matters when it comes to diagnosing serious medical conditions. The sooner a doctor or medical professional figures out that something’s wrong, the sooner they can provide treatment and address serious health problems.
Misdiagnosis
Diagnosing a medical condition correctly and quickly can often be the difference between life or death. That’s why a misdiagnosis can have such serious consequences. When doctors or other medical professionals misdiagnose a medical condition, treatment can be delayed or the wrong treatment can be administered, often causing more harm and sometimes even death.
Cancer Misdiagnosis
Thousands of people are diagnosed with cancer with every year, and the sooner a doctor diagnoses this potentially deadly disease, the better. That’s because most forms of cancer need to be treated quickly and aggressively in order to prevent cancer from spreading to other parts of the body.
