Failure to Diagnose-What Question Does a Medical Malpractice Attorney Need to Know?

In a failure to diagnose case in New York, your attorney needs to know a key question that will help determine whether or not you have a valid basis for a case.

Not only do we have to show there was wrongdoing, but we have to show the wrongdoing caused injury and that the injury is significant and/or permanent. All of those things must be confirmed by a medical expert who has reviewed your medical records.

The key question that must be answered is whether the injuries and outcome that you suffered are different than if you had received timely and appropriate treatment.
