Misdiagnosis claims

A misdiagnosis claim in Australia refers to a legal action taken by a patient who believes they have received an incorrect diagnosis from a medical professional. The patient may argue that the misdiagnosis caused them harm, and as a result, they are entitled to compensation.

We are here to guide you in your misdiagnosis claim. At Premier Compensation Lawyers, our job is to demonstrate that the healthcare provider failed to use the appropriate level of skill, care, and diligence when diagnosing your medical condition. This includes proving that the healthcare provider deviated from the accepted standards of medical practice and that the deviation caused harm to you and impacted your life greatly.

In order to build a strong case, it is important to gather all evidence, including medical records, expert testimony, and any other relevant documentation. We will also closely scrutinise the actions and decisions of your medical practitioner during the diagnosis process.

 

Types of misdiagnosis claims

There are several types of misdiagnosis claims in Australia, including:

Failure to diagnose: This occurs when a medical professional fails to diagnose a condition, even though it was present and treatable.

Delayed diagnosis: This occurs when a medical professional fails to diagnose a condition in a timely manner, resulting in the condition becoming worse or more difficult to treat.

Misdiagnosis: This occurs when a medical professional provides a diagnosis that is incorrect or inaccurate.

Missed diagnosis: This occurs when a medical professional fails to identify or recognise a condition or illness.

Wrong diagnosis: This occurs when a medical professional provides a diagnosis that is incorrect or inaccurate and causes harm to the patient
