In missed or delayed diagnosis cases, you need to show factual evidence and expert medical testimony that your medical provider departed from the standard of care and caused you to suffer a significant injury. Studies have shown that juries are very deferential to doctors. We recognize this and work to develop a truly compelling case with substantial factual evidence and supporting expert witness testimony and exhibits.

What Caused Your Injuries?

When you suffer harm due to a delayed or missed diagnosis, it may be because of issues such as:

• Providers dropping the ball on responsibility for patients
• Physician inexperience
• Failure to order tests or failure to interpret them correctly
• Failure to follow up on results

Studies show that diagnostic errors are the most common type of medical mistake. These errors can have devastating consequences for patients. When a doctor fails to diagnose a condition, the patient misses out on critical treatment that could save their life or prevent permanent injury. In some cases, the patient receives treatment for a condition they don't have, which can be harmful.

These types of errors may lead to the progression of your illness, sometimes to the point that treatment is no longer an option. You deserve compensation and justice; we will work hard to see that you get it.
