Misdiagnoses/Delayed Diagnoses Attorneys
Fort Wayne and all of Indiana
Misdiagnosis/delayed diagnosis incidents are tragedies that should never occur. However, overcrowded emergency rooms, fatigued staff, and understaffed medical facilities make this catastrophe a frequent reality in the lives of Americans.
When any medical facility employee’s negligence results in a misdiagnosis/delayed diagnosis of a condition, the victim needs a medical negligence attorney on his side to investigate the circumstances of his case and obtain compensation for damages, which can include:
- All related medical bills
- Physical and mental suffering
- Loss of earnings
- Diminished earning capacity
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of companionship and funeral expenses if the misdiagnosis/delayed diagnosis resulted in a loved one’s wrongful death
Common Errors Resulting in Misdiagnosis/Delayed Diagnosis
Serious conditions necessitate prompt and attentive care by physicians. Emergency medical facilities, which are where the majority of misdiagnosis/delayed diagnosis medical malpractice lawsuits stem from, exist solely for this reason. An incorrect diagnosis of a disease can result in catastrophic physical harm.
Common scenarios that may lead to misdiagnosis/delayed diagnosis litigation include:
- Ordering the improper test
- Misinterpreting test results
- Failure to act appropriately after receiving test results
- Failure to order appropriate tests
- A surgical error, such as choosing to delay urgent surgery
- Not recognizing obvious heart attack symptoms and sending a patient home prematurely
