Delayed Diagnosis

Delayed Diagnosis Attorney in Syracuse

Syracuse Lawyers Who Help Injured Patients Recover Compensation

When people are suffering from an illness or other health condition, getting a timely diagnosis is vital. Delays allow an illness or condition to get worse, and can be life-threatening. A delay in diagnosis often occurs because a doctor failed to follow an established standard of care. The medical malpractice attorneys at Cherundolo Law Firm, PLLC hold negligent doctors accountable.

A delay in diagnosis causes the health of patients to get worse. They need further tests to determine the correct diagnosis, and then treatment for their condition. They may be ill for months or longer. Medical expenses continue to add up and in the meantime, they are often unable to work because of their illness.

This type of diagnostic error can occur for many reasons, including:

  • Failing to treat a patient in a timely manner
  • Failing to order routine medical tests
  • Reading test results, lab work or imaging studies incorrectly
  • Medical chart errors
  • Lost paperwork
  • Failure to refer patient to a specialist

A delay in diagnosis due to negligence is inexcusable. Our firm fights for the rights of patients who have been harmed as a result to help them recover the financial compensation they need and deserve.

This involves reviewing all medical records and other relevant documents. It involves talking to witnesses and consulting medical experts to help us determine if the standard of care was met.
