Bay Area Medical Malpractice Attorneys
Surgical Errors • Misdiagnoses • Birth Injuries • Medication Errors
With any kind of injury or illness, time is a factor. Failing to diagnose a medical condition means the patient does not receive needed treatment. For example, failing to diagnose a heart attack or stroke in the emergency room may cause the patient to be sent home prematurely, only to die at home.
A misdiagnosis means that proper treatment will be delayed. In the case of cancer, that delay can be fatal.
The law requires that medical doctors and other healthcare professionals meet minimum standards of care. This means taking a complete medical history and ordering the proper tests, using care in interpreting the results and doing research in complex cases.
