If you have been the victim of a diagnosis error, contact Friedman Schuman Layser today to schedule a consultation.

Misdiagnosis

Misdiagnosing a patient with a condition can lead to devastating effects. If a doctor misdiagnoses a patient with cancer, when they don’t actually have cancer, the unnecessary chemotherapy and radiation treatment can have incredibly harmful effects on their body. If a person has appendicitis and is sent home from the hospital because physicians told them it was something less severe, the impacts can be fatal.

Delayed Diagnosis

Early diagnosis can be key to recovering from many significant diseases and illnesses. If a physician fails to diagnose a debilitating and life-threatening condition in a timely manner, the patient could suffer irreparable harm or even untimely death. If a healthcare provider failed to diagnose you or a loved one when the signs of the illness or condition were present, you should consider your legal options.

Failure to Diagnose Cancer

One’s best chance at overcoming cancer is early detection and immediate treatment. If diagnosed in its beginning stages, a person has a better chance of undergoing successful cancer treatment. However, if a physician fails to diagnose cancer in a patient, the results may be tragic and even fatal. If cancer is left undetected, it may be too late for a patient to seek successful treatment options.
