MEDICAL MALPRACTICE: FAILURE TO DIAGNOSE OR WRONG DIAGNOSIS
A simple blood test or X-ray. A few follow-up questions. A referral to a specialist. If your family member is disabled, dead or dying because a doctor missed the signs of a serious condition or dismissed your loved one’s complaints, there may be grounds to sue for malpractice.
Diagnosis errors are one of the most common and most unforgivable forms of medical negligence. By the time the mistake is realized, it is usually too late — the person has died, or the damage is irreversible. A Tampa failure to diagnose lawyer can help you seek justice.

Failure to diagnose/delayed diagnosis
To win damages, we have to show that medical professionals missed telltale symptoms of the disease, dismissed the patient’s complaints, failed to order blood work or further tests, or otherwise failed to identify a treatable condition in a timely fashion.
- We sued a doctor who failed to diagnose a retinoblastoma (cancer of the eye). A simple eye flash test with the lights off, a standard procedure in exams, would have detected the disease.
- One client suffered for many months, could not work and had a reduced life expectancy because symptoms diagnosed as a stroke were, in reality, multiple brain tumors.
Misdiagnosis
There are two problems when doctors act on a wrong conclusion. (A) The real condition goes untreated, and (B) the treatment for the misdiagnosed condition may be unnecessary (such as surgery) or harmful (such as organ damage). Our Tampa failure to diagnose attorneys could help in either situation.
