Wichita Misdiagnosis Lawyer

If you visit your doctor for a new or ongoing health concern, you expect a level of professionalism and diligence, especially with worsening symptoms that you believe are serious. You assume your doctor or any other health care provider you see has the knowledge and skill to competently care for you and diagnose your health problems correctly.

But what if your health issues are misdiagnosed or the correct diagnosis is delayed?

When this type of medical malpractice occurs, it often causes a patient’s original illness to worsen or create new health issues altogether. This can lead a patient to the wrong treatment and significantly delay the treatment they actually need for their health problems. With many serious diseases or illnesses, such as various cancers, early diagnosis can be the difference between life and death.

If you or someone you know has suffered from a missed or delayed diagnosis due to a health care provider’s negligence, an experienced Wichita misdiagnosis lawyer is here to help you and your family hold accountable those responsible.

Common Types of Misdiagnoses

Often, when a medical condition is misdiagnosed, it quickly changes what would have been a quick and easy treatment process into a serious problem that may end up causing severe health complications or even the death of the patient. Our office sees plenty of failures to diagnose cases related to:

  • Heart attack
  • Infection
  • Cancer
  • Stroke
  • Pneumonia

Not only does a missed or delayed diagnosis damage the patient’s health, sometimes permanently, but it can also be a huge financial burden on the patient and their family. You may suddenly require many appointments with different specialists, multiple diagnostic tests or imaging, surgeries, medications, or even hospitalization.

You may also miss work, lose your job entirely, or need expensive medical equipment or hospice care. There are so many ways in which innocent patients like you can suffer due to medical negligence. But you don’t have to face this new reality without the support of a Wichita misdiagnosis lawyer.

Holding Health Care Professionals Accountable

In misdiagnoses cases, it can be difficult to understand what went wrong, how it happened, and what can be done to remedy the situation. This is why it’s important to hire an attorney from Prochaska, Howell & Prochaska LLC. We understand the complexities of medical malpractice cases and you can count on each Wichita misdiagnosis lawyer on our team to fight for justice for our clients who have needlessly suffered because of a doctor’s incompetence.

According to recent data from BMJ Quality & Safety, an estimated 795,000 patients are permanently disabled or die annually in the United States due to medical misdiagnosis. The top five dangerous diseases (stroke, sepsis, pneumonia, venous thromboembolism, and lung cancer) made up 38.7% of these cases.

The bottom line is that these mistakes should never happen, but, unfortunately, as the data shows, they are all too commonplace. Diagnostic errors occur every day and can cause catastrophic life changes for the patients and their families who suffer because of them. The doctors and any other healthcare providers involved in your care and who contributed to your suffering or your loved one’s untimely death should be held responsible.

Contact our Wichita office today, and our attorneys will gladly discuss the details of your case. We handle cases just like yours every day, and we have the skills necessary to fight with you to find justice and the compensation you deserve.
