Misdiagnosis? You May Have a Medical Malpractice Claim
One of the most common types of medical errors includes diagnostic errors. They also constitute one of the most frequent grounds for medical malpractice lawsuits. Diagnostic errors include misdiagnosing a condition, delayed diagnosis, and failing to diagnose a patient’s condition. Any form of diagnostic inaccuracy has the potential to be considered malpractice in medicine.
Misdiagnoses explained:
If your injury or illness is misdiagnosed, it means the doctor made a bad judgment.
The wrong diagnosis aggravates your medical condition.
Your health worsens or you may die as a result of delaying a proper diagnosis.
If your doctor refuses to provide you with a diagnosis at all, a case of misdiagnosis may still be applicable.
In other circumstances, the medical testing facility or drugstore may be to blame if your test results were inaccurate or you were given the wrong medication.
All of these go against the normal practice that you should anticipate while working with a medical expert.
Failure to receive medical attention from the doctor may be seen as medical negligence.
To sue a doctor for a faulty diagnosis, your misdiagnosis must always have resulted in an injury, aggravated condition or the death of a loved one.
Medical Negligence
If there is proof that an irresponsible doctor misjudged a medical problem for you or a member of your family, you can be granted compensation.
By proving the following, a medical malpractice attorney can decide if you have a strong case:
There is a doctor-patient relationship.
Your physician did not uphold recognized medical norms and procedures.
Your injuries were caused by the doctor’s carelessness.
You currently experience damages like medical costs or pain and suffering.
Legal proof of medical malpractice is difficult to establish, especially for non-lawyers.
