Medical malpractice is a term that includes a lot of different scenarios. It’s not as cut and dry as, say, a car accident case. Here are some examples of different types of medical malpractice that our personal injury lawyers have successfully handled.
Different Types of Medical Malpractice Cases | Misdiagnosis and Delayed Diagnosis
Misdiagnosis is two-fold. Your doctor could check you and claim that you are fine, saying that you’re free to go home but missing an issue that needs treatment. Or, they could determine you have the wrong condition. Both of these scenarios can be completely devastating. You may go without life-saving medicine, or you may be taking the medicine you don’t need.
In a delayed diagnosis, you may have found out what is wrong, but because your doctor initially missed it, you have unnecessarily suffered because of it. Contact our medical malpractice attorneys today if you have fallen victim to any of these circumstances.
