When A Doctor Fails To Diagnose Your Illness Or Injury

The first step in determining a proper course of treatment is an accurate diagnosis. Depending on the complexity of the condition, this process might take longer than was expected. Through this process, however, you expect medical professionals to monitor a condition and take every step possible to arrive at a correct diagnosis in a quick, efficient manner. If a doctor failed to diagnose your condition and you suffered a serious injury as a result, you may be entitled to compensation.

Holding Medical Professionals Accountable For Errors

Dozens of diagnostic tests exist to help doctors gain a clear understanding of your condition and what is needed to make you healthy. Whether these tests include X-rays, MRIs, PET scans, or blood or urine tests, they must be conducted and accurately interpreted. Numerous factors can lead to a delayed or incorrect diagnosis, including:

Any of these factors can lead to life-threatening complications. If a potentially fatal disease is not diagnosed and treated in time, the delayed diagnosis can lead to death. If a cancer diagnosis is not made quickly enough, the patient’s condition can progress to untreatable stages. If you or a loved one has been the victim of errors in diagnosis, contact a skilled medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible.
