Arizona Misdiagnosis Attorney

Misdiagnosis of a Medical Condition and Medical Malpractice Lawyer Serving Phoenix, Tucson, Chandler, Yuma & Glendale

The misdiagnosis of a medical condition may be a form of malpractice or negligence. Physicians are required to provide patients with a level of care in accordance with current medical standards in all aspects of their services: diagnosis, treatment, medication, surgery, and postoperative care. A careless mistake or act of negligence in any of these areas may prove to be deadly for a patient. Misdiagnosis alone may result in a patient being treated for the wrong condition – and may lead to a medication error if the wrong medicine is administered, unnecessary surgery, birth injuries, or a number of other situations that may cause injury, a permanent disability, or death.

How Does Misdiagnosis Occur?

A physician may misdiagnose a medical condition my misreading an x-ray, failing to perform adequate testing, failing to review a patient’s chart, or even by being too busy to provide a patient with a full evaluation of his or her condition. Doctor’s are held to a high standard of legal responsibility. They deal with life and death situations and are trained to take all factors into account when making a diagnosis. One careless mistake or act of negligence may change a patient’s life forever.
