Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis

Incorrect diagnosis or failure to diagnose a medical condition in a timely manner.

Critical Errors in Diagnosing Medical Conditions

Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can have serious consequences for patients, often leading to unnecessary suffering or worsening of the condition. When a medical professional fails to correctly identify an illness or delays in providing a diagnosis, crucial treatment may be missed, allowing the condition to progress unchecked. This type of medical negligence can result in a range of harmful outcomes, from prolonged pain and unnecessary treatments to severe complications and even death. Our legal team is dedicated to helping victims of misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis receive the compensation they deserve.
