Recovering Damages For Misdiagnosis Or Failure To Diagnose An Injury Or Illness

Failure to Diagnose an Injury When you seek medical treatment because of an accident or concerns about health irregularities, you expect that, at a minimum, your condition won’t get worse because of carelessness or negligence on the part of a medical professional. Unfortunately, it happens far too often. In the haste to push a number of patients through the system, doctors often neglect to take basic, accepted measures to properly diagnose an illness or injury. This can happen in a number of different ways:

  • A doctor may fail to order reasonable tests
  • A physician may incorrectly read or interpret test results
  • Charts may get mixed up or misplaced
  • A doctor may fail to anticipate related conditions
