Misdiagnosis and Failure to Diagnose

Misdiagnosis and failure to properly diagnose a condition are two of the most frequent medical malpractice case types. 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. They often happen in emergency rooms at the hospital. Both misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose—and all the variants within—are considered medical malpractice and can cause great harm—physically, emotionally and financially. If you have suffered one of these examples of misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose, you could be entitled to a compensation.
