Diagnostic errors (typically called failure to diagnose) can include an incorrect diagnosis, a diagnosis that comes too late, or a diagnosis made without all the relevant information (for instance, if a physician makes an incorrect diagnosis without consulting a relevant specialist which ends up causing the patient some injury).

Many failures to diagnose can cause irreparable damage to the victim that could have been avoided if the proper diagnosis had been made. Physicians are obligated to identify your symptoms and then determine the condition causing them. If he or she is unable to do so, you must be informed so that you may seek specialist opinions. Physicians are also obligated to be aware of your medical history and any conditions to which you may be particularly susceptible.

Like all medical malpractice cases, failure to diagnose claims are complex. Tort reform has provided strict conditions which must be met in order for a doctor to be held liable for an injury. If your case is not presented properly, you have little chance of success. Fortunately, our attorneys are thoroughly familiar with recent tort reform and we have been working with medical malpractice victims for twenty years. If you have suffered an injury due to a failed diagnosis, contact the Dallas medical malpractice attorneys at Grossman Law Offices and make sure you get the compensation you deserve.
