What is a failure to diagnosis and do I have a case?

When a doctor or physician fails to properly diagnose or identify a disease or illness that should be reasonably within their scope of practice, it can lead to a failure to diagnosis claim. This type of medical malpractice by a doctor can cause a patient to pursue the wrong treatment plan, causing worse injuries or failing to address a growing health problem.

Examples of conditions that are frequently misdiagnosed or looked over include:

• Infections
• Breast cancer
• Heart attacks
• Birth injuries
• Lung cancer
• Allergic reactions

If you are suffering from medical complications due to a lack of diagnosis, make sure you take legal action today. In order to prove a medical malpractice claim the following must be present:

• A doctor-patient relationship
• Lack of reasonable or competent treatment from a said medical professional
• Injury or worsened condition due to this breach of duty

The good news is that you do not have to pursue a claim on your own! Walker, Hamilton & Koenig can help you fight for the compensation and justice you deserve for your medical malpractice case.
