Failure to Diagnose & Delayed Diagnosis

Pennsylvania Lawyers: Misdiagnosis Malpractice

Failure to diagnose or delayed diagnosis of a serious medical condition such as cancer, heart disease or infection such as staph or meningitis can lead to the escalation of the condition from easily treated to life-threatening.

Our guarantee: You will be charged no fees and pay no costs until we are able to secure a settlement or trial judgment in your case.

If you suffered serious consequences from failure to diagnose a serious health threat in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, you may take legal action through filing a medical malpractice personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. Contact an experienced attorney at Silvers, Langsam & Weitzman today to discuss your case in a free initial consultation.

In many cases, failure to diagnose can be caused by health professionals simply not listening to patients. By not taking symptoms seriously, doctors miss important information and often fail to perform necessary tests and diagnostic studies.

A missed diagnosis can lead to death in all too many cases. Failure to diagnose a heart condition or vascular irregularity can result in a fatal heart attack or stroke. In addition, serious infections such as MRSA (a form of staph infection often referred to as "mersa" or "the superbug") can not only result in personal disaster, but can spread into a wider outbreak if left undiagnosed and untreated.
