The first step toward recovery from an illness or injury is an accurate diagnosis.

These mistaken diagnoses can have disastrous and even fatal consequences for patients.
If you or your loved one has been the victim of a wrong diagnosis, then you have likely not only had to endure worsened health, but also serious financial burdens. A successful legal claim can help you to obtain the compensation that you deserve for medical bills and other damages that are attributable to medical malpractice. Contact the Queens wrong diagnosis attorneys of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 888-244-2273 to speak with a skilled and experienced attorney about your legal options.
Consequences of Wrong Diagnosis
It is certainly true that diagnosing an illness is a complicated matter. After all, there are many symptoms that are common to incredibly disparate health problems. But this is a key component of the work for which doctors are trained and it is far too important for mistakes to be made, especially in consideration of the following potential consequences of wrong diagnosis:
- The worsening of progressive diseases including cancer
- The administration of medications that are harmful or at the very least not helpful
- Causing a patient undue psychological distress (for example by diagnosing a terminal illness where one is not actually present)
- The prescription of a course of treatment that has known negative side effects that are perceived to be worth the trade-off based upon a wrong diagnosis
No one deserves to suffer from the painful medical, personal, and financial complications of a wrong diagnosis. Our Queens wrong diagnosis attorneys are fully committed to helping victims of medical malpractice receive the full compensation they need.
