Misdiagnosis or Failure to Diagnose Lawsuit Claims Lawyer

Georgia law does not hold physicians accountable for every misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose error. In order to have sufficient grounds for a misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose lawsuit, your legal team must prove beyond reasonable doubt that:

• A doctor–patient relationship existed
• The doctor was negligent in making or delaying a diagnosis
• The said negligence caused actual injury to you, the patient

Most misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose malpractice claims hinge primarily on the last two factors. Doctors are human and make errors of judgment all the time. Moreover, many health conditions can display symptoms that mimic many other conditions. This is why misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose claims need the experienced guidance of Stockbridge personal injury lawyer Darrell T. Farr.

What must be proven to the satisfaction of the court is that your physician delayed making a correct diagnosis beyond the time a similarly-trained and experienced doctor would have made a diagnosis. Or that your physician made an incorrect diagnosis that a similarly-trained and experienced doctor would not have made in the same circumstances.
