Your Rights and Legal Options
When you visit a doctor for medical concerns, you trust that they will accurately diagnose your condition and provide appropriate treatment. However, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can lead to serious complications, worsened health conditions, and unnecessary suffering. These types of medical errors are common forms of medical malpractice, and if you or a loved one has suffered from them, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
At Findley Law, we specialize in misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis cases, helping victims seek justice for the harm caused by medical professionals’ failure to diagnose or treat conditions in a timely manner. With Brian K. Findley, an experienced medical malpractice attorney, we provide compassionate and aggressive representation to ensure your rights are protected and you receive the compensation you deserve.
What is Misdiagnosis and Delayed Diagnosis?
Misdiagnosis occurs when a doctor incorrectly identifies a condition or illness, leading to the wrong treatment plan. This can be the result of a failure to properly examine the patient, misinterpretation of test results, or failure to consider all potential conditions.
Delayed diagnosis, on the other hand, happens when a doctor fails to identify a condition in a timely manner. This delay can cause a condition to worsen, resulting in more severe health complications, more extensive treatments, or a worse prognosis.
Both misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis can have serious consequences for patients, especially when dealing with conditions like cancer, heart disease, infections, or other critical medical issues.
