Holding Doctors Accountable For Misdiagnosis And Delayed Diagnosis

When you visit a doctor, you place your trust and your health in their hands. You expect them to listen carefully, investigate thoroughly and diagnose accurately. But what happens when that trust is broken?

A missed or delayed diagnosis can turn your world upside down, leaving you facing worsened health, unexpected medical bills and a future filled with uncertainty. At Weston Smith Law, PLLC, we understand the fear and frustration that comes with a diagnostic error. We’re here to stand by your side, fight for your rights and hold health care professionals accountable when they fall short of their duty to protect your health.

We have been helping clients in the Tampa Bay area through their personal injury claims since 1992. You know the challenges of filing a claim against a major hospital and its legal and insurance teams, and we are ready to put our experience to work for you.

Common Diagnosis Error Causes

There are a lot of elements that can impact a delicate diagnosis process. When even one of these factors fails, it can result in medical conditions worsening beyond treatment or permanent consequences in recovery. Typical causes of either a misdiagnosis or a delayed diagnosis can include:

• A doctor not spending the necessary time with a patient
• Failure to follow up with a patient
• Lack of experience
• Faulty testing equipment

No matter what may have caused your diagnosis injury, we take the time to work closely with our clients to investigate and gather all of the vital information we need to develop a custom-tailored strategy for your claim.

From there, our lawyer will negotiate to secure the compensation that accurately represents the current and future consequences of your injuries. If negotiations are not fruitful in providing you with the outcome you need, we are prepared to fight for you in court through litigation.

Leave Your Claim In Good Hands

Juggling your health and your injury claim at the same time can often mean getting the worst results in both. Instead, entrust your future to the experienced and committed guidance of a skilled Florida personal injury attorney.
