Delayed Treatment May Cause Injury Or Death
Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis typically occurs when a member of the medical team commits an error or practices negligent care. This may include emergency room doctors, primary care physicians and family practice doctors, internal medicine doctors, OB-GYNs, radiologists, pathologists, diagnostic technicians and lab technicians.
Ignoring patient risk factors or symptoms and failure to do appropriate diagnostic tests in response to symptoms are two of the most frequent causes of a failure to diagnose an illness. There are numerous additional potential failures related to testing, including:
- Conducting the tests incorrectly
- Misreading the results
- Failure to follow up on test results
- Lab or pathology errors
- Radiology errors
- Defective diagnostic equipment
When we have determined the cause, we will pursue compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
