Santa Rosa Failure to Diagnose Lawyer
You may have suffered a worsened health condition or death of a family member if a Santa Rosa doctor, radiologist or other healthcare professional failed to diagnose a disease or condition correctly or in a timely manner.
"Failure to diagnose" a medical condition may be grounds for a medical malpractice claim or lawsuit in situations such as the following:
- You brought your complaints to your family doctor, who failed to diagnose your serious condition: lung cancer, skin cancer or tuberculosis.
- A lab technician or doctor misread blood test or MRI results.
- A diagnostic lab reported the presence of disease to your family doctor or a specialist following tests in the medical clinic, but your doctor failed to inform you of the diagnosis or follow up.
- After surgery, you complained of pain — and your surgeon or other doctor failed to diagnose the root of the problem: a foreign object had been left in your body when you were sewn up after the operation.
- Your obstetrician failed to diagnose a high-risk condition during your prenatal care. The condition should have indicated that a C-section should be performed — but your OBGYN overlooked the problem. Your child suffered a birth injury as a result of this failure to diagnose a risk-laden condition.
Whatever your experience with a doctor's failure to diagnose a serious condition, if you suffered pain, loss and hardship as a result, you may have a valid claim for compensation. Talk to a medical malpractice attorney at the law offices of Teal Montgomery & Henderson.
When Delay or Misdiagnosis Leads to Death
If your loved one passed away when a doctor unnecessarily failed to diagnose a medical condition correctly, you now face many expenses and losses: funeral and burial costs, as well as lost income of your family member who died.
It is impossible to put a price tag on the intangible results of the failure to diagnose your loved one's ailment. A wrongful death deprives you — wife or husband, mother or father, son or daughter — of your loved one's companionship.
