Failure to Diagnose


The most dangerous mistake that a doctor or healthcare professional can make is to do nothing at all when something needs to be done. A delay in or failure to diagnose a serious medical condition and take appropriate medical action can lead to crippling injuries and the onset of dangerous diseases. The effects of a failure to diagnose could take hours or even years before they are realized. At DeLuca & Weizenbaum, Ltd., our attorneys have considerable experience helping people who are victims of medical malpractice due to a failure to diagnose.

A delay in or failure to diagnose cancer or other serious injuries and conditions could lead to serious long-term physical ailments and terminal illnesses. If the negligent actions of a hospital or physician have contributed to your health problem, our team of lawyers can get you the compensation you deserve. Contact us today.

Releasing someone without recognizing an emergency condition or giving proper care could lead to serious conditions resulting in death. We represent the families of victims, pursuing wrongful death claims after a mistaken delay in or failure to screen for or diagnose cancer leads to advanced cancer for which treatment options may be limited or non-existent.
