When can I pursue a malpractice case?
When symptoms go unnoticed by doctors they can become major health issues in time. When doctors fail to offer you the reasonable care that another doctor would in such a situation, this could leave them liable for your malpractice expenses.
Misdiagnoses can happen for numerous reason including:
- Doctors who fail to follow up on diagnostic exams
- Doctors who fail to perform adequate exams or spend adequate time with the patient
- Miscommunication between the patient and medical staff
- Doctor performing incorrect testing or reading results wrong
- Doctors who are not up to date on the latest medical research and technology
- Improperly screening a patient for certain types of cancer
Two things must be established to have a viable malpractice claim—a doctor-patient relationship existed with your doctor, and that a doctor in a similar situation would have acted differently. You will also need to prove that your injury was as a direct result of the incorrect treatment you received or lack of treatment.
