California Medical Negligence Attorneys
San Francisco Medical Malpractice Lawyers
A negligent failure to diagnose or the misdiagnosis of certain medical conditions is a form of medical malpractice and can cause serious and irreparable harm. For example, often cancer can be treated effectively if it is caught early, but if not caught in a timely fashion, it can metastasize into a life threatening condition. In many cases, correctly and promptly diagnosing an illness or disease can be the difference between life and death.
In addition to the pain and suffering that a failure to diagnose can inflict on the victim, enormous financial burdens often result from such negligence. Income loss, medical bills and other expenses can add up quickly, leading to overwhelming financial hardship and debt to the patient and his or her family.
