Common Types of Misdiagnosis & Delayed Diagnosis Cases

Doctors have a duty to recognize symptoms and order appropriate tests. When they fail to do so, patients suffer. We handle cases involving:

Cancer Misdiagnosis

Failing to detect cancer early can allow it to spread and become untreatable.

Stroke Misdiagnosis

When strokes are misdiagnosed as migraines or vertigo, patients may miss life-saving treatments.

Heart Attack Misdiagnosis

Symptoms of heart attacks, especially in women, are often mistaken for indigestion or anxiety.

Infections & Sepsis

Delayed diagnosis of severe infections can result in organ failure or death.

Misdiagnosed Surgical Conditions

Failing to diagnose conditions like appendicitis or internal bleeding can have fatal consequences.

Frequently Asked Questions About Misdiagnosis Claims

  • How do I prove a doctor misdiagnosed me?

    To prove malpractice, we must show:

    1. The doctor had a duty to diagnose and treat you correctly.
    2. They failed to recognize symptoms or order necessary tests.
    3. This caused further harm, complications, or a worsened condition.

  • How long do I have to file a misdiagnosis lawsuit in Georgia?

    You generally have two years from the date of misdiagnosis, but the timeline may be extended if the error was discovered later.

  • Can I sue if my condition got worse due to a delayed diagnosis?

    Yes. If a doctor’s failure to diagnose or delayed treatment led to more severe illness, additional procedures, or reduced survival chances, you may have a case.

  • What if I went to multiple doctors before being correctly diagnosed?

    It depends on whether one or more doctors failed to meet the standard of care. We analyze all medical records to determine which provider is liable.

  • How much is my misdiagnosis case worth?

    Your compensation depends on the severity of harm, additional treatments, lost wages, and long-term consequences. We can assess your case in a free consultation.
