Failure to Diagnose Claims

Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia

When detected early, many diseases and illness can be effectively treated. Early treatment is sometimes the difference between life and death. With modern diagnostic equipment in the United States, doctors can provide diagnoses more effectively than ever before. Sadly, even with this technology and the years of required training for physicians, failure to diagnose potentially deadly conditions continues to occur.

Failure to diagnose is a medical malpractice issue. When a careless doctor fails to diagnose a disease, you may be left facing additional medical expenses, invasive treatment and otherwise preventable death. The aggressive medical malpractice attorneys at The Cochran Firm DC have years of experience working both for the medical industry and victims of failure to diagnose in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia.

Most Frequently Misdiagnosed Conditions

We have represented many people suffering from undiagnosed conditions. These conditions include:

These conditions may go undiagnosed if a physician fails to listen to a patient's concerns or improperly accounts for medical history. In other cases, diseases can go undiagnosed when a physician fails to order appropriate testing, or improperly analyzes or follows up with test results. A failure to diagnose a patient who has been diligent in their search for answers is entirely unacceptable, regardless of the patient's race, gender or socioeconomic status.

An undiagnosed condition can result in:

Additional medical bills
Invasive treatment
Mental anguish
Pain and suffering
Wrongful death
