Effectively Handling Failure to Diagnose and Misdiagnosis Cases
Failure to diagnose cases are often difficult to pursue because doctors cannot be held responsible if they reached a reasonable conclusion based on the information available. For example, if the physician ordered the necessary tests and conducted a thorough examination, you may not have a claim.
Proving these cases is therefore not about suggesting the doctor made an error in judgment. Rather, it is about showing that the doctor failed to follow medical practices or procedures that another physician with the same experience and/or training would have followed.
Common examples of medical malpractice involving the failure to diagnose include:
- Failing to order the necessary tests
- Failing to recognize obvious symptoms of an illness
- Reading or interpreting x-rays incorrectly
- Ignoring warning signs
- Failing to report test results
