Lafayette Misdiagnosis Attorneys
What is Medical Misdiagnosis?
Medical misdiagnosis is a significant concern and it can occur due to various factors. It may be the result of a healthcare professional's failure to thoroughly evaluate a patient's medical history, symptoms, or test results. Misdiagnosis can also stem from communication gaps between different healthcare providers.
The types of misdiagnosis can range from missed diagnosis (no diagnosis at all), wrong diagnosis (diagnosing a condition that the patient doesn't have), and delayed diagnosis (a correct diagnosis that was made too late).

How to Prove Your Case: Crucial Elements of a Misdiagnosis Lawsuit
To establish medical malpractice involving a misdiagnosis, three key components must be demonstrated:
- There was first a doctor-patient relationship, which meant the medical professional was obligated to treat the patient with competence.
- The medical professional violated that obligation by making an incorrect diagnosis.
- The patient suffered harm or injury as a result of this failure.
