Emergency Room Misdiagnosis and Failure to Diagnose

Misdiagnosis and failure to properly diagnose a condition are two of the most frequent emergency department mistakes in a hospital. This includes the failure of ordering tests, missing a diagnosis or getting a wrong diagnosis, the failure to x-ray, misreading of x-ray or a radiological exam, and the failure to refer or to request a consult. Both misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose—and all the variants within—are considered medical malpractice and hospital negligence. If you have suffered one of these common ER errors, you could be entitled to a compensation.
