Am I Eligible to Make a Medical Misdiagnosis Claim?

You may be eligible for a medical misdiagnosis claim if you’ve sustained physical or psychological injuries because of delayed or incorrect treatment from your healthcare provider. You can also submit a compensation claim if you have developed an illness or a pre-existing injury worsens due to medical negligence.

At Wyatts, our professional medical negligence lawyers have helped many clients suffering from medical misdiagnosis caused by:

  • Failure to recognize symptoms
  • Inadequate medical testing
  • Misinterpretation of test results
  • Communication errors
  • Rushed medical examinations
  • Inexperienced or unqualified medical staff
  • Cognitive bias
  • Failure to consider patient history
  • Faulty medical equipment or lab errors
  • Rare or atypical conditions

Examples of Medical Misdiagnosis That Qualify for Compensation

Common examples of medical negligence include:

  • Wrong Diagnosis – A patient with a heart attack is wrongly diagnosed with GERD, delaying life-saving treatment.
  • Missed Diagnosis – A doctor certifies a patient as healthy, but they actually have an undiagnosed serious condition like cancer or heart disease.
  • Failure to Diagnose a Related/Unrelated Condition – A doctor treats pneumonia but misses underlying lung cancer, allowing it to worsen.
  • Delayed Diagnosis – A patient with persistent headaches isn’t referred for tests, leading to a late-stage brain tumor diagnosis.

If you or a loved one have been affected by medical misdiagnosis, our experienced medical negligence lawyers can help you navigate the claim for your financial, physical, and psychological injuries. Contact us today to receive the compensation you’re entitled to.
