Compensation for People Who Have Been Misdiagnosed
People go to doctors when they suspect that their health has taken a wrong turn. They count on doctors to perform the appropriate tests to find out exactly what is going on, and to provide the appropriate treatment. When a doctor fails to do so and/or treatment is delayed, the medical condition could get significantly worse, even to the point where it is no longer curable. If you or a loved one has been misdiagnosed, our attorneys can help.
At the law firm of Phillips & Faldowski in Washington, we know how to get results in cases involving misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose. We know how the doctors' and hospitals' insurance companies think, because our attorneys used to work for them. We know the methods they use to keep victims from getting fair compensation. We know how to overcome those methods.
What Medical Condition was Misdiagnosed?
Our Pennsylvania trial lawyers use their experience to handle misdiagnosis cases of all types, including but not limited to:
- Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose cancer, including lung cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer
- Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose a heart attack
- Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose a stroke
- Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose MRSA and other infections
Misdiagnosis can be caused by many factors. It could take place in an emergency room, where an ER doctor writes off heart attack symptoms as heartburn. It could be the result of a misread mammogram or CT scan. In some cases, it might just be a matter of a primary care physician failing to send a patient to a specialist who would have been able to detect the condition.
Trial Experience in Misdiagnosis Claims
Our lawyers' status as fellows in the American College of Trial Lawyers, an invitation-only organization, is proof of our extensive trial experience, experience that includes trying hundreds of jury trials throughout western Pennsylvania. We prepare every malpractice case for trial from the start, knowing that the insurance companies we are taking on will put up a fight. We will fight back, and we will fight in the courtroom if necessary.
