A misdiagnosis is a significant error that can increase the risk of serious illness and death. If you are the victim of a medical professional’s misdiagnosis, you may get compensation for lost income, medical costs, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by the misdiagnosis.
A Huntington misdiagnosis lawyer from Underwood Law Office will fight for the money you deserve. Our firm provides compassionate representation to malpractice victims in the greatest times of need. We will handle your medical malpractice case from start to finish.
We Will Seek Compensation for the Damages Caused by Your Misdiagnosis
When you went to the doctor, you may have sought relief for physical symptoms. You were also seeking the peace of mind that can come from an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Instead, a misdiagnosis may have caused you several types of harm, including:
- Unnecessary medical expenses: A misdiagnosis may lead you to receive tests and treatments you did not need. The cost of these unnecessary medical services may be recoverable.
- Medical expenses to diagnose the actual condition: You may have had to undergo medical evaluation to receive the accurate diagnosis. If the first medical professional had done their job properly, you may have avoided this secondary evaluation and diagnosis.
- Pain and suffering: A misdiagnosis may cause you to continue suffering from symptoms of an illness without relief. A doctor may also recommend painful treatments like surgery based on a misdiagnosis. You may suffer physical pain, lost quality of life, and other types of pain and suffering as a consequence.
- Professional damages: If your symptoms prevent you from working, a doctor’s misdiagnosis may cost you income, earning power, and other benefits of working. You may also have professional damages if a doctor recommends surgery or other treatments that prevent you from working.
Uncaught cancers, cardiac events, and undetected infections are among the consequences of misdiagnoses. These outcomes show the severity of diagnostic errors, as a misdiagnosis can truly be a matter of life and death.
Misdiagnosis Can Cause a Wrongful Death
The ultimate cost of a misdiagnosis is a wrongful death. Medical conditions can become worse, and even fatal, when a doctor fails to identify and treat them. If you have lost a loved one because of a misdiagnosis, your recoverable damages may include:
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of spousal companionship and intimacy
- Loss of parental guidance
- Funeral expenses
- Loss of the decedent’s contributions to their household
- Loss of financial support
A medical misdiagnosis lawyer from Underwood Law Office will identify each of your damages in Huntington. We will consider any future damages you are likely to suffer and calculate the exact value of each of your losses.
