Failure to Diagnose

The majority of medical malpractice cases involve misdiagnoses, diagnostic erros, or delayed diagnoses. In fact, a study at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic found that 1 in every 5 deaths at intensive care units around the country are due to misdiagnoses.

Not all failures to diagnose are considered medical malpractice due to the difficulty inherent in making perfect diagnoses. However, the failure to diagnose because a negligent medical provider failed to properly take into account a patient's history, perform the necessary exams, recognize obvious symptoms of a particular illness, or committed any other errors that a well-trained physician would not, is considered malpractice.

A medical provider may be liable for failure to diagnose if the patient:

 

  • is injured by a treatment for a condition or illness they do not have
  • receives medical advice that prevents treatment of a condition or illness which later injures them
