Failure To Diagnose A Medical Condition In New York City
Did your doctor fail to diagnose a serious medical condition? Are you experiencing more pain after surgery than before? Has your child been born with birth injuries? If you are asking any of these questions, you may have been the victim of medical malpractice. At the New York law offices of Keogh Crispi, P.C., our attorneys can answer your questions and help you determine whether or not you have a claim.
With over forty years of personal injury litigation experience, we have the resources to handle the complexities of medical malpractice claims. Conducting a thorough investigation, we will work with a network of medical professionals who can help us examine your case and determine if negligence was a contributing factor to your medical concerns.
Medical malpractice can take place in any number of settings. It could be the failure to diagnose by your general practitioner or it could be an emergency room error. Whatever your injury, we are prepared for a wide range of circumstances, including:
- Failure to diagnose
- Delayed diagnosis
- Misdiagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Birth injuries
Many medical conditions are preventable if they are diagnosed early enough. If your doctor failed to conduct proper tests when there were warning signs for serious medical conditions, you may lose the chance to detect them while they are still treatable:
- Heart attack
- Cancer
- Brain aneurysm
- Pulmonary embolism
We also handle wrongful death claims for families who have lost a loved one as the result of medical malpractice.
Even in seemingly clear-cut cases of medical malpractice, proving medical malpractice in court can be difficult. Just because your doctor made a mistake or a wrong decision does not mean you were the victim of malpractice. In order to prove malpractice, we must show that your doctor breached his or her duty to you, and that this breach of duty led to your injuries. The best thing you can do is to speak with an attorney who has the skills; the experience; and the resources to give the necessary professional advice and guidance.
