How Misdiagnosis and Diagnostic Errors Lead to Claims
As published by Justia in “Misdiagnosis, Failure to Diagnose & Related Legal Claims,” diagnostic errors can occur when a medical condition is incorrectly identified or not diagnosed at all. These mistakes may delay treatment, worsen a patient’s condition, or lead to unnecessary procedures.
Legal claims related to misdiagnosis often focus on whether a healthcare provider failed to meet accepted medical standards and whether that failure caused harm. Patients affected by diagnostic errors may seek compensation for additional medical costs, lost income, and long-term health consequences resulting from delayed or improper treatment.
