Why Choose Brown & Barron for Your Medical Malpractice Claim

To prove that your medical team’s failure to diagnose warrants a medical malpractice case, it is essential to confirm that negligence occurred. You will have to follow a series of steps and collect enough evidence to support your case against the medical professional and/or facility. 

All this can be difficult to do while dealing with a health condition. For this reason, our attorneys offer to take over your case, putting our resources and knowledge toward proving your doctor’s error. For example, we’ll handle tasks like:

• Gathering your medical history from the hospital
• Investigating if the history of the doctor or hospital indicates negligence in the past
• Requesting testimony from third-party medical personnel about your case
• Filing the claim with the appropriate authorities
• Evaluating your case’s overall value
• Negotiating with the liable party’s malpractice insurer

If necessary, we will also advocate for you at trial. Our lawyers at Brown & Barron will take the necessary steps to prove the liable party’s negligence; you should only focus on your recovery.

What Damages Are Recoverable in a Failure to Diagnose Case?

After being the victim of a medical malpractice diagnosis failure, the damages you can recover vary. Each malpractice case is unique, so compensation depends on the exact injuries suffered, as well as your recovery timeline.

For this reason, our attorneys will study your failure to diagnose case in-depth to ensure we identify all potentially recoverable damages and estimate an accurate case value. Generally, the damages we recover for medical malpractice clients include:

• Medical expenses: This includes past and future costs related to your care and recovery, such as transportation to the hospital by ambulance, medicines, physical or mental therapy, hospital bills, and visits to the doctor, among others.
• Pain and suffering: If the doctor’s malpractice caused incurable damage to your health, you could receive compensation for physical pain and mental anguish.
• Loss of income: The doctor’s error may have caused you to miss work, or even caused a permanent disability that prevents you from returning to your position at full capacity—or at all. We will fight for compensation for current and future income loss.
• Loss of enjoyment of life: The pain and troubles that come with medical negligence can affect your ability to participate in activities you once enjoyed.
• Wrongful death: If you lost a loved one to medical negligence, you could claim compensation for the pain of this loss, lost income, benefits, and loss of companionship and protection, among other things.

We’ll Start Working on Your Lawsuit as Soon as Possible

We recommend starting the claims process as soon as possible for several reasons. First, Maryland law outlines a statute of limitations for medical malpractice under Maryland Courts & Judicial Proceedings Code Section 5-109. This statute gives you five years to sue from the date of the incident or three years from the date of discovery, whichever is earlier.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of failure to diagnose, you’ll want to give your legal team as much time as possible to collect evidence and build a strong lawsuit. The sooner you reach out, the more time we’ll be able to dedicate to your case. 

You should only be worried about what is important: your health and recovery. We’ll handle the rest for you.

Cases We Handle Involving Failure to Diagnose

Failed diagnoses are not uncommon, and the severity of the consequences varies. Some examples of this type of negligence are:

• Not following up on a patient
• Not contacting a specialist if necessary
• Not requesting tests or the critical analysis

Some of these actions can have deadly consequences. For this reason, we also handle wrongful death cases against liable medical care providers and facilities.
