Diagnosis
Errors

Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis that leads to incorrect treatment, delayed treatment, or no treatment at all, can be grounds for a malpractice claim. We help prove the misdiagnosis and the harm it caused.

Surgical and Treatment Errors

These include errors during surgery, inappropriate or incorrectly administered treatment, and negligent care, all of which can have devastating consequences. We work to link these errors directly to the harm suffered by the patient.
