Not every missed diagnosis constitutes medical malpractice. Healthcare providers are only liable when they fail to meet the standard of care that a reasonable medical professional would provide under similar circumstances. This means your doctor must have acted in a way that deviated from accepted medical practices, and this deviation must have directly caused harm to your health.
Common situations where doctors may be liable for failure to diagnose include:
When your condition goes undiagnosed, your disease may progress to advanced stages where treatment becomes more invasive, less effective, or impossible. You might endure months or years of worsening symptoms, pain, and declining quality of life. The financial burden grows as you seek multiple opinions, undergo repeated testing, and face additional medical bills while your condition deteriorates. If negligence caused your delayed diagnosis and resulting complications, you have the right to file a medical malpractice lawsuit against the doctor responsible.
Medical malpractice cases demand extensive investigation, expert medical testimony, and the ability to translate complex medical concepts into compelling legal arguments. In these situations, you need an attorney who understands both the law and the medicine involved in your case.
The Janda Law Firm brings years of experience handling diagnostic error cases across Las Vegas. We will thoroughly investigate every aspect of your medical care, from your initial symptoms through your eventual diagnosis, to build a comprehensive case that proves your right to compensation. Dr. Paul Janda is Nevada’s only board-certified neurologist attorney, meaning he possesses both the medical expertise to understand complex diagnostic processes and the legal skills to effectively advocate for your rights in court.
Our firm also maintains relationships with medical experts who can review your case, identify where your healthcare providers fell short, and testify about how a proper diagnosis would have changed your outcome. We provide these services on a contingency fee basis—if we do not secure a settlement in your case, you are not charged legal fees.
