San Antonio Misdiagnosis Malpractice

Michael Grossman, Medical Malpractice Attorney in San Antonio TX, Explains Misdiagnosis or Failure to Diagnose

Errors in diagnoses are the cause of a large portion of medical malpractice cases. These errors (typically referred to as failure to diagnose) encompass a number of mistakes, including:

• An incorrect diagnosis caused simply by the physician having an error in judgment
• A diagnosis that comes too late to be of any use to the patient
• A diagnosis made without all relevant information – for example, a diagnosis made by a general physician without consulting a relevant specialist

Any time a physician’s mistake (or any other medical professional’s mistake) results in a failure to diagnose of any kind, the victim may be eligible to file a medical malpractice claim. Physicians have an obligation to identify your symptoms and then use whatever means necessary to determine the cause. If a physician is unable to diagnose you, he or she is required to consult with a specialist or refer you to another doctor. He or she is also required to gather your complete medical history so he or she knows of any conditions to which you might be unusually susceptible. In short, a physician must do everything within his or her power to determine the cause of your symptoms and then offer you a course of treatment, if possible.

But if you have been injured due to a failure to diagnose, you will need professional help filing a medical malpractice claim. Put quite simply, non-attorneys cannot win medical malpractice lawsuits. Recent tort reform has made medical professionals very resistant to lawsuits. In order for a case to be successful, a medical malpractice claim must meet very specific conditions. Even if the details of your case allow it to meet these requirements, you have probably never even heard of the technicalities that must be addressed, and so you cannot file the claim properly. In my years of practicing medical malpractice law, I have never once heard of a non-attorney successfully winning a medical malpractice claim. These cases are possibly the most complex in the medical malpractice world, and you need a legal professional on your side who knows how they work.
