Failure to Diagnose

Florida Medical Malpractice Lawyers – Failure to Diagnose

Often, the failure to diagnose a patient's condition will allow the patient to suffer irreversible health effects. This is particularly true when the failure to diagnose leads to a delay in treatment and earlier treatment would have arrested the disease's treatment. Sometimes a diagnosis occurs but is incorrect; such misdiagnosis can cause both a delay in treatment and dangerous prescription medication errors.

The lawyers of Levin Papantonio Thomas Mitchell Echsner & Proctor, P.A. concentrate their efforts on retrieving compensation for sufferers of especially hazardous physician and emergency room mistakes, such as:

• Misdiagnosis
• Failure to diagnose lung cancer 
• Failure to diagnose breast cancer 
• Failure to diagnose meningitis 
• Failure to diagnose a heart attack or stroke

Though we would like to help everyone who has been wronged by misdiagnosis and prescription medication errors, the lawyers of our firm must limit our energies to the cases that represent the greatest injustices. And keep in mind that doctors are not guarantors of the services they render and are not required by law to not make mistakes. Even the major, tragic claims that our firm handles represent difficult struggles in court. 

Of course, this difficulty in demonstrating neglect is all the more reason to hire an experienced Florida cancer misdiagnosis attorney. Our law firm was recently named the fourth winningest law firm in the United States by the National Law Journal, and in the past 50 years of business we have gained more than $1.5 billion in settlements and verdicts for our clients.
