Inability to recognize

Failure to diagnose medical malpractice can occur when a patient is injured because of medical professionals' negligence in diagnosing a condition. In a lot of cases, when a medical professional fails to diagnose an illness or medical condition, patients may be suffering from worsening symptoms, extreme distress and pain, or even death. If a physician did not sufficiently investigate your medical condition and you suffer from an illness that is serious and should be treated, your lawyer may be able to help build a case against the medical professional.

Undiagnosed cancers, heart attacks or strokes, as well as blood clots such as DVT are all instances of medical malpractice. These are usually the result of doctors who do not follow the correct differential diagnosis procedure. This is a procedure by which doctors prepare a list of possible diagnoses and then rule them out by asking questions, conducting additional observations, or conducting tests.

Medical professionals are bound by the duty of care to patients and must exercise the duty in a fair manner. To prove that a health care professional was not up to this standard the lawyer needs to look over your medical records and consult experts in medicine to compare your situation with how other doctors would have treated your situation. This usually requires expert testimony, as well as evidence like an imaging or lab study that show that the health specialist was not aware of your condition.

Failure to treat

Modern medicine can do wonders, but when doctors fail to treat a patient properly, the outcome can be disastrous.

Failure to treat could also be defined as failing to act or allowing a condition to get worse. This type of malpractice can lead to a more serious situation or a life-threatening accident, or even death.

To win a case involving failure-to-treat the first step is to establish that the provider of health care violated their duty towards patients. The next step is to prove that the delay in medical care caused additional harm or losses (called "damages" in legal terms). This element usually involves the testimony of medical experts. In contrast to other states, New York does not cap the amount of damages that can be awarded to victims of negligence or medical malpractice.

Inability to refer

If a doctor notices that a patient has medical conditions that require intervention beyond their expertise, it is usually considered to be part of their duty to refer them to a doctor who can provide care. A breach of the standard can occur if a doctor is unable to refer the patient to a medical professional who can offer care. A malpractice case can be filed if the situation occurs.

Physicians who fail to refer patients to specialists often do due to fear about losing their business due to pressure from insurance companies that do not want to pay for specialty treatment for the patient. This kind of medical error can lead to serious problems for patients which could result in delayed diagnosis, or even death.

It is important for patients to be aware that doctors are human beings and do make mistakes. Even if a lapse is not considered to be medical malpractice, it can still cause serious injuries to the patient. A malpractice lawsuit can help the patient recover damages and hold the doctor accountable for the actions of his or her staff.

A malpractice lawsuit can also serve a purpose by helping prevent other doctors from making the same mistake. If the malpractice of a physician is exposed, it might cause hospitals to alter their policies and ensure that all patients are referred to specialists. This can save lives and decrease the amount of malpractice lawsuits in the future.
