Medical Misdiagnosis Claims

Medical Misdiagnosis Claims

A medical misdiagnosis can have severe consequences for a patient’s health, particularly if the correct diagnosis would have led to more effective treatment. At HPA Solicitors, we understand how devastating a misdiagnosis can be, and we are committed to helping individuals claim compensation for the harm caused by medical negligence.

What is a Medical Misdiagnosis Claim?

Medical misdiagnosis claims arise when a healthcare provider, such as a doctor or hospital, incorrectly diagnoses a condition, leading to inappropriate or delayed treatment. This can result in worsening of the condition, unnecessary treatments, or in some cases, permanent damage.

Common Causes of Medical Misdiagnosis

  • Failure to Properly Diagnose: A healthcare professional may overlook symptoms or fail to order necessary tests, leading to an incorrect diagnosis. Common examples include misdiagnosis of cancer, heart conditions, or infections.
  • Incorrect Test Results: Errors in lab tests or imaging can lead to a wrong diagnosis, causing patients to receive improper or delayed treatment.
  • Failure to Refer to Specialists: If a healthcare provider fails to refer a patient to the correct specialist or delays a referral, it may lead to a misdiagnosis or improper treatment.
