Misdiagnosis Attorney in San Antonio
What Is a Failure to Diagnose-Based Negligence Claim?
Very often patients come in with treatable conditions, but for some reason or another a diagnosis is missed. This means that the patient came in with certain symptoms. Those symptoms provide clues as to what the differential diagnosis may be. The differential diagnosis is what the condition may be based on the symptoms, tests, and evaluations. There are times that the actual correct diagnosis goes unobserved, untreated, and unfortunately the patient suffers or dies as a result. The diagnosis may be because a healthcare provider wasn’t called, symptoms or tests results were not relayed, or an evaluation didn’t occur as it should have. In other words, the standard of care was breached by a healthcare provider. The healthcare provider didn’t act as a reasonable and prudent healthcare provider in acting out their obligations to the patient. Very often, this type of situation can happen because of gaps or missteps in the healthcare system.
What Do You Do if You Suspect You or a Loved One Has Suffered as the Result of a Failure to Diagnose?
Our firm has spent countless hours examining medical records, recognizing discrepancies, auditing electronic medical records, and putting together the pieces of the puzzle in order to better understand what happened versus what should have happened.
When you check yourself into a hospital, you should expect a certain standard of care. It’s what you pay steeply for as well. Civil investigations may be the only way to enforce any accountability when a healthcare system error results in the death of patient. Internal investigations into errors by the hospital are heavily protected and intentionally withheld from the public.
If you or a loved one has suffered as the result of a failure to diagnose, contact us at (210) 361-9796 or submit a contact form online. You don't pay unless we win.
