Philadelphia Delayed / Misdiagnosis

Patients place a great deal of trust in their physicians, surgeons, and other medical care providers.  They believe that medical professionals have the answers and will help them alleviate their painful injuries and symptoms.  However, it is important to remember that medical professionals can make serious mistakes, which is why numerous misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis cases are reported every year.  Medical professionals are responsible for correctly diagnosing their patients.  They must monitor and treat their patients’ symptoms accordingly.  Failure to do so may be considered medical malpractice. 

When a medical professional fails to properly diagnose their patient, and the patient is injured or develops further symptoms, the medical professional can be held liable.   After a patient has been misdiagnosed, he/she is legally entitled to seek compensation from his/her doctor.  A patient may seek monetary damages for his/her:  medical expenses, injuries, lost wages, lost future income, physical and mental impairment, and pain and suffering.
