Misdiagnosis
Misdiagnosis and Failure to Diagnose
When doctors fail to diagnose health problems or diagnose them incorrectly, patients lose the opportunity to receive potentially lifesaving treatment.
The attorneys at Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder, PC, represent clients in a variety medical malpractice claims involving misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose, including:
- Heart attack (MI) misdiagnosis: Many people who appear at doctors' offices and emergency rooms with symptoms of a heart attack are misdiagnosed. They are often sent home where they may suffer a fatal heart attack. Failure to recognize and treat heart attack symptoms is a form of malpractice.
- Stroke misdiagnosis: Failure to diagnose stroke symptoms in a timely manner can make the difference between the patient's full recovery and permanent disability or death.
- Radiological misdiagnosis: Patient outcomes are dependent on a prompt and accurate diagnosis. A radiological misdiagnosis can delay effective treatment of conditions ranging from broken bones to cancer to stroke.
- Pulmonary embolism: Our lawyers have recovered significant financial compensation for clients who suffered a pulmonary embolism because of a misdiagnosis.
If you believe you or a member of your family was seriously harmed because of a medical misdiagnosis, please contact the attorneys at Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder, PC. We offer a free consultation to discuss your case and explain your legal options.
