Medical Misdiagnosis
Medical Misdiagnosis Lawyer
Failure to Diagnose Lawsuit Attorney
Patients should not have to worry about being harmed by the health care system, but the system fails far too often. A doctor in a hurry, a misread test result, or a mistake in a lab report can result in a misdiagnosis or in a failure to diagnose. Sick patients are sent home — where they become sicker. When the misdiagnosis results in a life-changing injury or in a wrongful death, you need a medical misdiagnosis attorney.
We care … and we can help.
Let us tell your story.
Failure to diagnose a medical problem or misdiagnosis of a problem can cause life-changing damage to the patient. In many cases, the result is a wrongful death. For patients and their families, it is difficult to understand how this could happen.
- Misdiagnosis of cancer: A cancer misdiagnosis means no treatment. If the cancer is diagnosed later, it may be too late for meaningful treatment. Skin cancer, breast cancer, sarcoma, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, testicular cancer, and other cancers get worse with time and lack of treatment. If a cancer misdiagnosis caused a far graver situation or even wrongful death, talk to a cancer misdiagnosis lawyer at the Knapp & Roberts medical malpractice law firm.
- Heart attack and stroke misdiagnosis : When a patient comes to an emergency room with heart attack or stroke symptoms, a wrong diagnosis can mean a delay in necessary care. The result could be wrongful death or a severe, life-changing disability.
- Head injury misdiagnosis: When a subdural hematoma or concussion or aneurism is misdiagnosed as a headache and the patient is sent home without treatment, the result can be permanent disability or death.
- Infection misdiagnosis: If a medical professional fails to properly treat an infection, the patient could die or face a necessary amputation.
- Meningitis misdiagnosis : When doctors misread symptoms and fail to order the appropriate tests, they may dismiss meningitis as simply a case of flu. The result of such a missed diagnosis is often wrongful death.
