The most crucial step in medical treatment is the correct and timely diagnosis of a condition or disease. If an illness is either diagnosed incorrectly or left to worsen over time, there is a very real chance the situation will become more severe.

At our law offices, instances of failure to diagnose are brought to our lawyers on a regular basis and often involve a lack of proper testing in the diagnosis of cancer victims. In these failure to diagnose cases, months or even years may pass before the cancer is found, resulting in a worse prognosis than if the disease would have been found and treated earlier. While failure to diagnose cancer is one of the more common forms of this type of medical malpractice cases heard in court, failure to diagnose other illnesses can be just as harmful. Other types of cases include failure to diagnose appendicitis, heart problems, diabetes, and hypertension. In some instance, failure to diagnose can lead to the wrongful death of a loved one.

Sadly, failure to diagnose is a common form of medical malpractice for which physicians need to be held accountable. If you or a loved one has been affected by a failure to diagnose an illness, the lawyers at Pollack & Flanders may be able to obtain the just compensation you deserve
