Common Misdiagnosis Cases We Handle
Understanding your case
A misdiagnosis claim generally involves a provider failing to diagnose a condition, diagnosing the wrong condition, or unreasonably delaying a diagnosis in a way that falls below the accepted standard of care.
A successful claim generally requires expert testimony showing that a reasonably careful provider, given the same symptoms, would have reached a different or timelier diagnosis.
As a category of medical malpractice, misdiagnosis claims are subject to Florida’s pre-suit notice and expert affidavit requirements.
Depending on how a delayed or incorrect diagnosis affected treatment and prognosis, damages may include additional medical costs, lost income, and diminished quality of life.
