Misdiagnosis Lawyers

Misdiagnosis of illness or injury can damage patients doubly, as a misdiagnosis unreasonably troubles patients with the incorrect diagnosis, and postpones sometimes lifesaving treatment for the condition the patient does have.

Not every misdiagnosis is malpractice, however. Medicine is often an inexact science, and not every illness or injury is obvious even to the most trained physician.

A medical misdiagnosis rises to the level of malpractice only when the doctor or other medical professional fails to take appropriate steps to correctly diagnose the problem, including:

Taking a full medical history to determine possible predispositions and risk factors
Ordering appropriate tests to establish the cause of the problems
Carefully maintaining records and test samples to ensure accuracy
