We often trust medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, physician’s assistants, and others, to put our well-being and health at the top of their list of priorities. Many of these professionals must take an oath to swear they will never harm a patient, but this doesn’t mean they are incapable of making mistakes. In some circumstances, you may not be given an appropriate diagnosis, even though the tools and labs were feasibly available to determine what is wrong. What happens when our providers don’t give us the care we need?
If a medical professional doesn’t sufficiently help you determine what is going on—including finding a diagnosable issue they can aid you in treating or curing—you can hold them accountable. Recovering compensation for your losses may not help you take back the time you’ve lost due to a doctor’s negligence, but it can enable you to recover and regain control of your life. If you want help holding liable parties accountable for the harm they’ve done, we invite you to contact the team at Hersh Kirtman Injury Law.
Can You Get Compensation if a Medical Professional Fails to Diagnose You?
Yes, if a medical professional fails to give you an accurate diagnosis, you may be eligible to recover compensation for various losses. This is because, in many cases, a medical care provider will be our only access to life-saving tests and treatments. If your doctor does not adequately listen to your symptoms and concerns, this could mean one or more tests are not ordered.
Testing is a scientific and powerful way of ruling out potential medical issues, including those you may suffer in the long term. Ignoring symptoms can mean life-saving or quality-of-life-preserving procedures are missed when they should not be skipped. There are many other instances where negligence from a medical professional could equal medical malpractice.
We encourage you to exercise caution when working with a medical malpractice case. An attorney with experience can help you ensure you receive fair compensation. And in cases where you think that a doctor may be skipping over something important, you always have the option and opportunity to get a second opinion. If you want help assessing the circumstances and winning compensation, contact Hersh Kirtman Injury Law as soon as possible.
