Not every delayed diagnosis means you have a case, but our team knows what questions to ask and what signs to look for to figure that out.
When a Missed Diagnosis or Delay Becomes Harm
Being misdiagnosed or treated too late can change the course of your life. A simple infection becomes life-threatening. A lump is brushed off until it becomes advanced cancer. You might be left with more aggressive treatment, permanent damage, or long-term health issues that could have been prevented.
These may be signs of medical negligence. When a healthcare provider fails to act as another reasonable provider would in the same situation, the consequences can be serious—and sometimes legally actionable.
Understanding How Legal Claims Work in These Cases
A delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis on its own isn’t always grounds for a lawsuit. What matters is whether that delay or mistake caused real harm.
Troxler & Troxler’s team will look closely at the timeline, medical records, and expert evaluations to see if your case meets the standard for a claim. And we do it in a way that keeps the stress off your shoulders. With over 130 personal injury cases under our belt, we know how to make the process easier while still being thorough and aggressive when it counts.
