Did Your Doctor Fail To Diagnose An Illness Or Injury?
When you have suffered an injury or illness, the timely diagnosis of your condition can make the difference between chronic pain and suffering and recovery.
Failure to Diagnose Illness or Injury
When you have suffered an injury or illness, the timely diagnosis of your condition can make the difference between chronic pain and suffering and recovery, and even between life and death. The earlier a definitive diagnosis can be made, the sooner you can receive the treatment you need, and the less risk that your condition will become untreatable or unmanageable. Often, it’s simply a matter of conducting the appropriate tests or properly interpreting your symptoms. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, medical professionals often fail to exercise the requisite level of care to properly and timely diagnose your malady.

Common Legal Questions
A personal injury victim must prove several of the typical elements of negligence to win their medical negligence case. They must show that the medical provider owed them a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused their injuries. They must also prove they suffered damages as a result of the medical negligence. Medical negligence and malpractice cases typically require the use of medical experts to show how a provider deviated from their standard of care.
All doctors, physicians, and nurses must adhere to a professional standard of care when treating patients. This standard of care is determined by the medical community. Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional fails to provide the proper standard of care and injures a patient. Medical malpractice typically results in the worsening of an existing condition.
Medical malpractice lawsuits usually begin with an insurance claim. Your attorney will attempt to prove your case and negotiate a settlement that covers your damages. If obtaining compensation outside of court is not an option, you can pursue a civil suit. Want to find out more? Read our full article here.
Since medical malpractice covers such a wide variety of injuries and scenarios, there is no average settlement amount for a medical malpractice lawsuit. Furthermore, many individual factors can affect a settlement’s amount, such as the injury’s permanence and impact on your job and whether your case settles out of court. When thinking about your malpractice case, remember that it is a personal injury with losses. Malpractice is then subcategorized into different types, each with its own area.
