WASHINGTON DC MISDIAGNOSIS & DELAYED DIAGNOSIS ATTORNEYS
Understanding the Consequences of Diagnostic Errors
An accurate diagnosis is the only way any medical condition can be effectively treated. With so many illnesses and injuries that may be experienced, and each patient’s individual medical background, age, and health to take into account, it may seem a daunting task to accurately diagnose a condition in a timely manner. However, this is what medical professionals are trained for. They undergo extensive education and training, including residency, to ensure they have the skill to properly diagnose and treat patients. True, their skills are limited to the scope of their education or experience, but they have the tools at their disposal to make reasonable diagnoses and should refer patients to specialists if the condition appears out of their wheelhouse.
At Fay Law Group, we represent men, women, and children who have suffered harm as a result of a doctor or other medical professional’s failure to diagnose, delayed diagnosis, or misdiagnosis of an illness or injury. We have seen the harm that diagnostic errors can have on patients and their families, and we fight to seek justice for those whose lives have been turned upside down by negligence, carelessness, or wrongdoing.
