How Do These Injuries Occur?
Misdiagnosis/failure to diagnose, failure to treat, and failure to refer injuries are often the result of negligence, which means the health care provider fell below the accepted standard of care in the community.
Who is Responsible?
This negligence may be on the part of the:
- Doctor
- Nursing staff
- Hospital or clinic in general
Often, the number of different parties involved makes these cases particularly complex.
Causes of Medical Malpractice Injuries
Understanding the root cause of these injuries helps us ensure we hold all negligent parties accountable. Some of the common causes of misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose we see include:
- Understaffing of doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals
- Shortcuts made by the administration
- Inadequate number of beds and other necessary medical supplies
These can all lead to medical professionals feeling overworked. They may even feel pressured to get patients in and out as quickly as possible. This can result in doctors overlooking test results and nurses failing to note or act upon a patient's symptoms.
The Importance of Legal Action
Health care providers perform important and invaluable services for all of us in our communities. However, the institutions must not place profits over people and must be held accountable when they do if we are going to have the safest system possible.
Our record speaks for itself, and we can help you receive the care and compensation you need moving forward.
Taking action on meritorious claims is a necessary component of keeping the system safe for all of us. We can help explain the process and help you understand your rights. Call 425-576-8150, for a free consultation to discuss your potential claim.
How We Can Help You
Our firm can conduct a full investigation if a doctor:
- Misdiagnosed your condition
- Failed to diagnose
- Failed to treat the condition
- Failed to refer you to the proper provider
We look at the doctors, nurses, and other staff as well as the hospital as a whole and its failure to provide adequate care. We will pursue significant compensation on your behalf for the negligence and wrongdoing that led to the misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose, failure to properly treat or failure to refer.
Our attorneys will also fight the hospital’s or doctor’s insurance company, whose primary objectives will either be to deny your claim outright, delay payment on your claim and ultimate to pay as little as possible. We will fight for your right to maximum compensation for your losses, pain, and disability.
"From the first day we spoke, until the case was completed, the lawyers at this firm were very responsive, sympathetic and extremely professional. In addition to keeping me well informed, they explained all of the legal and medical issues in plain English." Neville C.
Our Experience Matters
Attorney Liz Quick enjoys taking on misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose, treat and/or refer cases. She is fearless in taking on hospitals and large insurance companies.
She and co-counsel secured a $6.2 million jury verdict for her injured client. The man who had recently fallen, struck his head, and lost consciousness repeatedly requested to be referred to a specialist for his head.
The chiropractor refused to refer him to a medical doctor or for an MRI scan and instead continued to treat with chiropractic cranial adjustments for six months. He eventually had to undergo two craniotomy surgeries to remove a large hematoma that pushed his brain off midline and caused permanent disabling injury.
Liz Quick and Ken Friedman took on the chiropractors and their insurance company to secure the compensation their client deserved and needed to pay medical bills and restore his life.
