How Our Attorneys Can Prove a Medical Misdiagnosis
When healthcare providers make diagnostic errors, holding them accountable requires more than showing they got the diagnosis wrong. We must build a comprehensive legal case that proves negligence occurred and caused real harm.
The things our legal team will demonstrate include the following:
- What should have happened – We demonstrate what a competent doctor should have done, be it conducting thorough examinations, ordering the right tests, interpreting results correctly, and following up on concerning findings.
- What actually happened – We show how your provider fell short. Perhaps they failed to order necessary tests, misinterpreted results, dismissed your complaints, or ignored obvious warning signs.
- How this harmed you – We highlight the connection between the diagnostic error and your suffering, showing how delays worsened your condition, made you miss opportunities, and caused additional complications.
Common Types of Dangerous Misdiagnoses
Some of the life-threatening conditions that are often misdiagnosed:
- Cancer (delayed diagnosis, allowing spread)
- Heart attacks and cardiovascular emergencies
- Strokes and neurological conditions
- Blood clots and pulmonary embolisms
