Failure to Diagnose and Treat Medical Conditions
When we visit a doctor at a medical clinic or hospital, we assume that our symptoms will be accurately assessed, that our medical conditions will be diagnosed properly and that they will be treated in a timely manner. When injuries or illnesses are misdiagnosed, those conditions can worsen. Doctors and physicians who misdiagnose or fail to diagnose in a timely manner may be held accountable for medical malpractice.
Not every medical condition or disease is treatable. Timely treatment, however, can prevent some diseases from becoming deadly or causing more severe damage. At the law firm of Hill & Associates, P.C., in Philadelphia, our attorneys provide more than 20 years of legal experience in cases involving medical malpractice and the misdiagnosis of illness. Doctors who fail to properly assess patient symptoms should be held accountable for their negligence.
