Damages We May Recover for Your Misdiagnosis in Richardson
Misdiagnosing a medical condition is a serious error that can lead to:
- Unnecessary (and potentially dangerous) medical treatment: Depending on the nature of the misdiagnosis, a doctor could order testing, surgery, or other treatment courses that are unnecessary. Such treatments may come with immense risk, meaning the doctor’s error exposed you not only to discomfort but also potential injury or death.
- Worsening of a medical condition: A misdiagnosis means the doctor did not identify the actual condition. Therefore, the undiagnosed condition may become worse because the medical professional did not identify and treat it. In the case of potentially life-threatening conditions like cancer, a misdiagnosis can prove to be a fatal error.
- Scarring and disfigurement: When a medical condition requires surgery, the patient may emerge with scarring or other forms of disfigurement. If a medical professional had diagnosed and treated a condition earlier, surgery may have been unnecessary.
Each case of medical malpractice is unique, and our team will categorize all your losses into specific categories. Your damages may include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income, lost earning power, and other professional damages
- Pain and suffering
If you suffered any other damages because of a doctor’s misdiagnosis, we will identify them.
Potential Damages from Misdiagnosing a Psychological Condition
The journal Annals of General Psychiatry explains that misdiagnosis of psychological conditions happens with some regularity, and may have substantial negative consequences. Misdiagnosing a condition like depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia could lead to:
- Long periods of suffering
- Substance abuse
- A patient losing their job because of untreated symptoms
- Suicide
If you or a loved one sought help for a psychological condition but received an inaccurate diagnosis, we will seek justice for you.

Services We Will Perform During Your Medical Malpractice Case in Richardson
Underwood Law Office handles our clients’ cases from start to finish, and we’ll assist you by:
Gathering Evidence of Malpractice
Your attorney will determine who is liable for your misdiagnosis. A medical professional likely committed the misdiagnosis, but their employer could be financially responsible for your damages.
To prove liability, we’ll seek evidence of malpractice, including:
- An incident report from the facility where the negligence occurred
- Medical professionals’ testimony about how the liable party should have diagnosed you
- Medical records documenting the eventual diagnosis the liable party failed to issue
- Any other evidence that supports your case for compensation
We will work alongside medical experts to identify and organize all relevant evidence.
Documenting Your Damages
We will get medical records, expert testimony, medical bills, proof of lost income, and all other relevant documentation of your damages.
Representing You During Settlement Negotiations
Using the evidence and documentation we have collected, our team will negotiate with liable parties. We will know exactly how much compensation you deserve, and that is the figure we will seek.
Settlement negotiations can be complex and even heated, and our firm will ensure you don’t face this process. We have ample experience negotiating on our clients’ behalf, and this is an essential service we offer you.
