Misdiagnosis/Delayed Diagnosis

Philadelphia, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis are responsible for an estimated 40,000 deaths in the US each year, along with countless other injuries and medical complications. Doctors and medical staff who are not paying adequate attention, or are rushing to diagnose a complicated condition can often overlook or incorrectly identify key indicators of a medical issue.

This kind of gross negligence is unacceptable in our healthcare system, and the experienced medical negligence lawyers at Atlee Hall, LLP take an aggressive stance to get families in Pennsylvania the full compensation they deserve in these cases.

Some medical issues may be difficult to diagnose, and others may require extensive tests and diagnostic tools to identify. You trust your doctors and emergency medical personal to give your medical issues their full attention until a solution is provided. When this doesn’t happen, you have a right to seek justice for yourself and your family, and to hold accountable the medical professionals who betrayed that trust.
