Failure to Diagnose or a Delay in Diagnosis: Your Rights and Legal Options in Tampa

In the field of medicine, the clock never stops ticking. Each moment counts, especially when it comes to diagnosing a medical condition. Unfortunately, cases of failure to diagnose or a delay in diagnosis are far too common and can lead to devastating outcomes. At MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers, we understand the gravity of these medical mistakes, and we're committed to fighting for justice for you.

Can You Sue a Doctor for Failure to Diagnose in Tampa?

Yes, absolutely. Medical professionals owe a duty of care to their patients. A failure to diagnose or a delay in diagnosis could be considered a breach of this duty. If you or a loved one has suffered due to such negligence, you have every right to seek legal redress. These kinds of failure to diagnose lawsuits can help you recover the compensation you deserve for your medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and more.

The Ramifications of a Delay in Diagnosis

Imagine you go to a doctor complaining of persistent headaches only to be sent home with over-the-counter medication. Weeks later, you find out you have a severe condition that could have been managed or even cured if caught earlier. The delay in diagnosis has now significantly affected your prognosis and treatment options.

This isn't just a hypothetical situation; it happens. At MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers, we've seen the significant impact that a failure to diagnose can have on patients and their families in Tampa and beyond.

Understanding Failure to Diagnose Lawsuits

When it comes to failure to diagnose or a delay in diagnosis, proving negligence is crucial. You must show that:

  1. The doctor owed you a duty of care.
  2. The doctor breached this duty by failing to diagnose your condition in a timely manner.
  3. This failure led to harm or worsened your condition.

Failure to diagnose lawsuits often require expertise in both legal and medical matters, and our team has the experience to guide you through this complicated process.
