Misdiagnosis or Failure to Diagnose

When is Failure to Diagnose a Mistake, and When is it Malpractice?

Even the most knowledgeable, well-trained and conscientious doctors can make a wrong diagnosis. But when a physician's failure to diagnose cancer, stroke, heart attack, cardiac infection, strep or another serious or life-threatening condition is due to negligence — when a doctor following proper standards of care would have made an accurate diagnosis — someone has to be held accountable.

At the New York City law firm of Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum, our team of highly skilled and experienced lawyers help clients in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, as well as Westchester, Nassau and Rockland counties get the compensation they deserve after a misdiagnosis causes serious injury or the wrongful death of a loved one. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Complex Cases Require Experienced Legal Representation

There are many factors that come into play in cases of failure to diagnose cancer and other serious medical conditions. There are many individuals who may be to blame. Did the radiologist fail to note a shadow on an X-ray or MRI? Did a treating physician fail to conduct the proper differential diagnosis? Did a nurse or intern fail to ask crucial questions about family history of cancer, heart attack or stroke? What difference did the misdiagnosis make in the patient's prognosis or quality of life?

With so many questions, you need an experienced attorney who will fight to get you the honest answers you need. At Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum, we have extensive experience and a record of results in complex personal injury and medical malpractice cases.
