Failure to Diagnose

Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Los Angeles

The failure to diagnose a medical condition may be a form of medical malpractice. When a doctor is negligent in assessing a patient's symptoms and performing tests to determine what is going on, this may result in a misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis or a failure to diagnose a condition altogether. When dealing with serious medical conditions such as cancer or a similar progressive disease, a failure to diagnose may lead to permanent injury or even death.

Failure to Diagnose - Who is Responsible?

Depending on the case, the doctor or medical facility where you went to receive a diagnosis and treatment may be held responsible. In some cases, the insurance company may be held responsible, if they would not allow additional testing or follow-up care.
