Helping Those Injured by a Doctor's Failure to Diagnose
The failure to adequately diagnose medical conditions can lead to major complications. If your physician failed to notice clear signs of a stroke, strep throat, or a heart condition, you have every right to hold the doctor responsible for his or her negligence. Attorneys Cliff Weingus and Jeffrey A. Haas strive to ensure that their clients receive the financial compensation they deserve.

When doctors fail to live up to reasonable standards of care or do not perform necessary tests, they may fail to diagnose a serious or even life-threatening condition. Equally dangerous can be a medical misdiagnosis. The courts recognize, however, that not all mistakes constitute malpractice. In order to prevail in one of these cases, your lawyers must demonstrate that your doctor was negligent in failing to recognize the signs of your disease or condition, and that the negligence caused you injury.
You know when something is wrong with your body. Whether you seek help at an emergency room, a clinic, or with your general practitioner, a failure to diagnose will keep you from getting the right medical treatment. The failure to get the right treatment in a timely manner can lead to brain injuries, birth injuries, and other serious complications.
