Medical Misdiagnosis *Claim

What Is A Medical Misdiagnosis *Claim?

A medical misdiagnosis *claim is a legal action brought by a patient or their loved ones against a healthcare provider or facility for misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a medical condition. This * claim typically alleges that the healthcare provider or facility failed to provide the patient with an accurate diagnosis, resulting in harm to the patient, such as delayed treatment, unnecessary treatment, or worsening of the patient’s condition.

To succeed in a medical misdiagnosis *claim, the complainant (i.e. the patient or their loved ones) must prove that the healthcare provider or facility breached their duty of care by failing to diagnose the medical condition correctly and that this breach of duty caused the harm suffered by the patient. The complainant may also need to prove that a competent healthcare provider would have made the correct diagnosis in similar circumstances.

Examples of medical conditions that may be the subject of a misdiagnosis *claim include cancer, heart disease, stroke, infections, and autoimmune disorders. Medical misdiagnosis *claims can be complex and challenging to prove, and they typically require the assistance of the experienced medical malpractice solicitors *.
