West Virginia Failure To Diagnose Lawyer
Experienced Representation for Failure to Diagnose Cases
As patients who rely on doctors, we want to have a proper diagnosis promptly and without error. Understandably, some medical conditions can be difficult to diagnose, especially considering there may be many unforeseen complications. However, physicians still have the duty to provide care and proper diagnosis of an illness in a timely manner and as accurately as possible.
Failure to diagnose is one of the most prevalent types of medical malpractice and is also one of the riskiest for patients. If you or your loved one has experienced harm because a physician failed to diagnose illness properly, you must know your rights.

Understanding Failure to Diagnose and Your Rights
Many medical conditions are difficult to treat. Some of them require exhausting treatments, some of which do take a toll on the body. There is still a significant difference between those conditions that are difficult to diagnose and an incorrect or failed diagnosis. The latter most often stems from physician negligence.
These are the elements of failure to diagnose:
- Dismissing the symptoms as a minor ailment
- Ignores obvious symptoms of a more serious medical condition
- Diagnosis is correct but is the wrong stage of the illness (e.g., diagnosing Stage I cancer when the Cancer has reached Stage 4)
Have you suffered due to your doctor’s failure to diagnose? Our West Virginia medical malpractice attorneys are ready to help you find compensation for the expenses incurred due to the incident. At Fitzsimmons Law Firm PLLC, they have keen and intuitive investigation skills, which is necessary to negotiate with insurance adjusters.
