Failure to Diagnose Cases

Our medical malpractice attorneys see a number of cases in which doctors fail to diagnose a serious medical ailment. This means that the medical condition is allowed to progress to a point where it is much more difficult to treat than if it was caught early.

One example of a serious failure to diagnose involves cancer. If a doctor notes signs of cancer in its early stages, he or she should have the patient undergo tests just to be on the safe side. Failure to treat cancer at this early stage allows it to progress, meaning a much more costly and difficult road ahead for the patient.
