Failure to Diagnose

Misdiagnosis and Medical Malpractice Lawyers

A misdiagnosis can turn what was once an easily treatable medical condition into a serious medical problem requiring substantial medical care. Some of the more common types of failure to diagnose claims involve cancer, a heart attack, pneumonia, infection or stroke. If you or a loved one has been seriously or fatally injured as the result of a medical professional's failure to diagnose your injuries, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

A misdiagnosis or a failure to diagnose a serious medical condition such as cancer or a heart attack is simply inexcusable. Doctors undergo years of training to be able to detect the medical symptoms of the patients they treat. At the Warner Law Offices, located in Wichita, Kansas, we represent clients throughout Kansas in their attempts to secure damages resulting from medical malpractice.

If you believe your doctor failed to diagnose a serious medical condition such as cancer or a stroke, contact us to schedule a free initial consultation with one of our lawyers.

Aren't Doctors Allowed to Make Mistakes?

Many people are hesitant to sue their doctor, wondering whether the current high health care costs are attributable to the increasing amount of malpractice insurance that a doctor must carry to guard against potential lawsuits. However, the cost of your health care has little to do with the amount of medical malpractice insurance carried by your doctor or your lawsuit. One of the jobs we face in every malpractice claim is to inform you about the realities of filing a claim against your doctor.

One of the attributes that differentiates our firm from others is our understanding of the need to overcome the bias that people have about suing their doctor. In exchange for a doctor's ability to practice medicine, he or she agrees to adhere to a recognized standard of care. When a doctor breaches that agreement, he or she can and should be held liable. Just like a contractor whom you sue for failing to fix your home properly, you should hold doctors liable for failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis of your medical condition.

At the Warner Law Offices, we file medical negligence claims on behalf of people injured by their doctors. To learn more about your potential wrongful death and medical malpractice case, please contact us to schedule a free initial consultation with one of our attorneys.
