Seattle Failure to Diagnose Lawyers
When a doctor or other medical professional fails to diagnose a medical problem it is a form of medical malpractice. These professionals are trained to look for certain indicators and symptoms and take measures to diagnose any medical problem. In cases such as cancer, fetal distress, medication overdosing and others, a misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose can result in serious problems including injury, illness and even death. If you or a loved one has been injured or fallen ill in Washington and you suspect it was due to a failure to diagnose, contact our law office for a free evaluation.

Even a delay in making a diagnosis is a failure to diagnose in many cases. Because cases involving these elements are especially complicated, and very difficult to prove, you should only have an experienced law firm working for you. Your Washington failure to diagnose lawyer will research the past medical symptoms in order to find any obvious signs of a disease or ailment that any medical professional should have noticed. In order to make an effective case it must be clearly shown that the symptoms are obvious indicators of a disease.
If the patient had some indication of the disease and no further testing was done to rule anything out, a case of failure to diagnose can be charged as well. In such instances the doctor or medical professional may have not pursued an aggressive enough course of treatment or examination. These failures can result in the disease progressing past the point where treatment would have been an option. This is especially tragic in instances where early testing and diagnosis could have resulted in effective treatment.
In many Washington medical malpractice cases an insurance company is often involved as well as medical professionals. Unfortunately many insurance companies will refuse to pay or allow certain tests or procedures to be performed. While this can save the insurance provider money, it has all too often resulted in the progression of deadly and serious diseases in patients throughout the state. This is especially true with all types of cancers, which, if detected early enough could have been treated.
If you or someone you love has become seriously ill and you believe it could have been prevented with early and more thorough testing, contact our Tacoma Washington medical malpractice law firm immediately.
