Failure to Diagnose

When a healthcare provider fails to identify a medical condition or misdiagnoses a condition, resulting in harm to you or your loved one, this is considered a failure to diagnose. In these cases, the patient may bring a medical malpractice lawsuit against the healthcare provider for negligence. These claims require evidence that the healthcare provider had a duty of care to the patient, that the duty of care was breached, and that the breach caused harm to the patient.
