Failure to Diagnose: Miscellaneous
Receiving a serious diagnosis is always unpleasant, but not receiving a diagnosis because your healthcare providers missed it can cause lifetime disabilities or death. Failure to diagnose medical conditions prevents patients from receiving treatments, robbing them of the opportunity to combat their illness and regain their health.
If you have suffered consequences because of a failure to diagnose your condition, we can help. At Berman & Simmons our medical malpractice lawyers have the knowledge; experience and resources to demonstrate when missed conditions should have been diagnosed and how proper treatment could have been effective. While no monetary recovery can ever bring a person back to the health they once enjoyed, we can help you recover an appropriate monetary award.
Our trial attorneys have extensive experience with medical malpractice claims involving the failure of healthcare providers to diagnose disease. Cases of failure to diagnose include:
- post-surgical infection
- heart disease
- diabetes
- bone fractures
- nerve damage
- cancer
- deep vein thrombosis
- pulmonary embolism
- appendicitis
Timing is everything—don't delay if you have a potential claim
The state of Maine has strict Statutes of Limitations, which means you must act quickly or you will forever lose the opportunity to be compensated for your losses related to a failure to diagnose.
