Indiana Misdiagnosis Of Illnesses Lawyer
Last updated on January 27, 2025
Misdiagnosis occurs when a physician fails to recognize the symptoms of your condition and provides either an incorrect or delayed diagnosis. While a simple misdiagnosis alone is not enough to warrant legal action, when that failure leads to further medical complications or injuries, victims may pursue compensation.
Misdiagnosis can also come in the form of delayed diagnosis, which results in a patient developing a preventable illness due to a medical professional’s failure to act or identify known issues promptly. Regardless of the circumstances of your situation, you need to seek legal counsel as soon as possible.
If your misdiagnosis caused you further injuries, be sure to contact Parr Richey Frandsen Patterson Kruse LLP online or call 317-505-1342 as soon as possible!
Why Does A Misdiagnosis Happen?
Physicians may ignore or fail to detect symptoms. Some may think the symptoms were simply the effects of stress, headaches, nausea or other minor ailments. While those general symptoms can be misleading for doctors, there are more major symptoms that they are trained to detect early on for patients. When they fail to provide the reasonable and expected care that another medical professional in a similar situation would provide, it can make them liable for medical malpractice damages.
What are some common reasons that misdiagnosis happen?
- Medical staff did not perform adequate examination or spend adequate time with patient
- Medical staff did not order correct testing or read the results inaccurately
- Medical staff failed to consult with specialists on the condition
- Medical staff does not know the latest medical research and technology
- Medical staff failed to follow up on diagnostic exams
- Miscommunication between patient and medical staff
