Failure to Diagnose a Disease or Serious Medical Condition
When we go to a doctor's office or hospital, we place great trust in the medical professionals we see. We assume they will do what is necessary to provide for our health and well-being.
Unfortunately, the safety of patients is not always protected. Simple errors that could have been prevented with due diligence and professionalism do occur causing severe injury or death to patients.
At the De Jong Law Group in Chicago, Illinois, we hold negligent doctors, nurses and hospitals responsible for the injuries they cause. We handle a wide range of medical malpractice claims, including claims resulting from a failure to diagnose a disease or medical condition.
Contact us if you or a family member has been injured as a result of a failure to diagnose or timely treat a serious condition, including:
- Failure to diagnose kidney damage or liver damage
- Failure to diagnose prostate cancer
- Failure to diagnose breast cancer
- Failure to diagnose vasculitis
Our attorneys have experience in cases involving a failure to diagnose, and have obtained significant compensation on behalf of victims injured by this type of medical malpractice. Examples of medical negligence may include a failure to perform a necessary biopsy, failure to communicate with a patient the results of a test, failure to schedule a necessary surgery, failure to properly treat cancer, failure to do necessary follow-up testing, failure to consult with a necessary specialist, and numerous other situations.
