Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about working with an attorney, filing a misdiagnosis lawsuit, and how delayed or failure-to-diagnose cases are handled.

Can a Misdiagnosis Count as Medical Malpractice?

If your doctor’s mistake is considered unreasonable or below the expected standard of care, then yes, it can be considered medical malpractice. Doctors have a responsibility to properly identify and treat your health issues.

How Often Do Doctors Get a Diagnosis Wrong?

It’s more common than you might think. Misdiagnosis is a serious problem that can have major consequences for patients. Doctors don’t always get it right the first time.

How Do I Know if I Have a Case for a Misdiagnosis Lawsuit?

The best way is to talk to a misdiagnosis attorney. They can review the details of your situation and let you know if you have grounds for a case against the doctor or healthcare provider. They’ll know whether the doctor failed to provide the care that was expected.

What Kind of Evidence Helps in a Delayed Diagnosis Claim?

To build a strong case, your attorney will gather documents like medical records and test results, as well as statements from medical professionals. This helps show how the delayed diagnosis negatively impacted your health and treatment.

Can I Still Sue if the Misdiagnosis Didn't Cause Long-Term Harm?

Yes! Even if the misdiagnosis didn’t lead to permanent health issues, you may still be able to file a lawsuit. The law understands that diagnostic errors can still cause significant short-term harm, like pain, wasted time, and medical bills.

What Should I Do if I Think My Doctor Made a Mistake?

First, get a second opinion from another doctor and make sure to get copies of your medical records. Then, reach out to a misdiagnosis attorney to discuss your situation and your options for taking legal action.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim for a Wrong Diagnosis?

This depends on where you live. The timeline (or statute of limitations) varies state by state. An attorney can let you know the specific deadline for your case.

Should I Talk to a Misdiagnosis Attorney Even if I'm Unsure?

Yes, it’s worth having a conversation with a misdiagnosis attorney, even if you’re not sure you have a case. They can review the details, let you know if you have grounds to file a claim, and explain your rights and options. It’s a free consultation with no obligation, and it can provide helpful clarity.
