Arizona Misdiagnosis/Failure to Diagnose Attorneys
Attorney Representation in Phoenix, Arizona Since 1996
Most people have reasonable expectations of what a medical professional can do and how much help to expect, and typically these expectations are realistic and rational. One of these expectations is that they will receive an accurate diagnosis. When a misdiagnosis results in a permanent medical condition, therefore, it is hardly unreasonable to seek some measure of compensation for the devastating loss you have suffered. Often in hindsight, a misdiagnosis can be baffling, especially since it is not unusual for other specialists to spot the signs right away. If you have been the victim of a misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose, it is important that you get in touch with an Arizona personal injury attorney right away.
does a misdiagnosis or a failure to diagnose occur? One of the most common culprits is the long hours doctors often have to work in hospitals and clinics. It's not unusual for residents to work 24 hours straight, for instance, and other hospital employees may find themselves stretched thin by shrinking budgets and inadequate space. The result can be hurried consultations where essential issues are overlooked, including your history, full range of symptoms, and a thorough medical examination. When diagnoses are left undiscovered, the results can be catastrophic: patients may suffer a heart attack, stroke, asphyxiation or even a progressive infection that could lead to paralysis.
Winning lawsuits of this kind is exacting and involved. The burden of proof falls to the plaintiff to establish the proper diagnosis, and to make a compelling case that your caregiver should have concluded it. Medical experts may be called by both sides, but juries tend to respond better to sound preparation and clear evidence. This is why you want to work with Arizona medical malpractice attorneys who understand this system intimately and will fight tirelessly on your behalf.
