What Qualifies as Misdiagnosis?

Misdiagnosis occurs when healthcare providers fail to accurately recognize medical conditions. Misdiagnosis may result in incorrect diagnoses, delayed treatments, worsened health conditions-even death- and can take various forms:

• Incorrect Diagnosis
• Delayed Diagnosis
• Missed Diagnosis
• Failure to Diagnose a Related Condition

What should you do if you've been misdiagnosed?

Misdiagnosis of any condition can be distressing. If you suspect yours has been misdiagnosed, here are a few things you can do:

• Seek a Second Opinion
• Gather Medical Records
• Document Symptoms
• Contact a Personal Injury Attorney

How can someone prove medical negligence?

• Establish an Exclusive Doctor-Patient Relationship: Formal documentation will need to show that a relationship between yourself and healthcare exists.
• Display of Violations to Standard of Care: Prove that healthcare providers did not meet the necessary standard of care.
• Causality: Establish the link between misdiagnosis and any subsequent injuries sustained from it.
• Evidence of Damages: Collect all documents documenting any physical, emotional, and financial harm caused by misdiagnosis.

Why hiring a personal injury attorney would benefit you?

• Expertise: Personal injury attorneys can guide their clients when filing medical malpractice claims.
• Negotiation Skill: Attorneys can reach favorable settlement agreements with insurance providers or opposing counsel.
• Peace of Mind: Give yourself space and time for healing by trusting all legal matters to qualified professionals.

When should an attorney be hired?

Should you suspect medical negligence or misdiagnosis, seek legal advice immediately from a personal injury attorney. Acting early allows:

• Investigate and preserve evidence immediately.
• Timing of legal claims within the statute of limitation.

What criteria must be considered to identify an effective attorney?
