New Jersey Delayed Diagnosis Lawyers

Diagnosis errors make up the majority of medical malpractice cases. Though they are seemingly minute, these mistakes can actually be quite devastating in the cases of aggressive illnesses and severe injuries. It is a doctor’s duty to have the knowledge and skills necessary to accurately diagnose and properly treat his or her patients’ medical conditions.

A delayed diagnosis can turn a low-risk situation into a very high-risk one. If you or someone you love has suffered from an unreasonable delay in diagnosis, then you may be able to claim compensation. For a legal assessment of your situation, contact the New Jersey delayed diagnosis lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. by calling 800-346-5529.

Causes of Delayed Diagnoses

Delayed diagnoses often result from wrong diagnoses. When a patient receives an incorrect assessment of his or her condition, then the real issue remains unrecognized and untreated. Delays in diagnoses may also result from unnecessary hospital delays, a doctor’s failure to follow up with a patient in a timely manner, or incorrect reading of lab test results.

Dangerous Delayed Diagnoses

Certain conditions are, unfortunately, both very dangerous and more commonly undiagnosed than other illnesses. We are here to help you with these dangerous situations, including:

Appendicitis and heart attacks are acute situations that must be recognized and treated immediately. Meningitis and aggressive or later-stage cancers, though not as immediately pressing, can be deadly if not diagnosed in a timely manner.
