Failure to diagnose cancer, fetal distress, bacterial meningitis, pneumococcal meningitis, sepsis, pneumonia, a stroke or a heart attack can have disastrous results including the death of a patient who most likely could have been saved. Please contact the law firm of Cerussi & Gunn, P.C., to schedule a free initial consultation regarding a possible lawsuit related to a doctor's failure to diagnose cancer or another serious disease despite otherwise compelling symptoms and signs.

The failure to diagnose a dangerous illness or condition is a form of medical malpractice when a doctor fails to follow the accepted standard of care as defined by the medical profession in his community. For example, the failure to diagnose a risk factor in pregnancy may result in a birth injury and ultimately, a birth defect such as a deformity, cerebral palsy or Erbs palsy.

Sometimes, the failure to diagnose an illness is a form of elder neglect in long-term care facilities. Nursing home patient may fall through the cracks despite symptoms pointing to impending stroke or heart attack.
