Grounds for Legal Claims
Not every misdiagnosis qualifies as medical malpractice. To file a legal claim, it must be shown that the misdiagnosis was the result of negligence. This means the healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care expected of them, and this failure directly caused harm to the patient.
Some examples of negligence leading to misdiagnosis include the following:
- Misinterpretation of diagnostic tests or failure to conduct appropriate tests
- Failure to refer the patient to a specialist
- Ignoring or dismissing the patient’s reported symptoms
- Relying on outdated medical protocols or technology
Filing a Misdiagnosis Claim in Florida
In Florida, medical malpractice claims are subject to strict rules and deadlines. Patients have two years from the time they discovered (or should have reasonably discovered) the misdiagnosis to file a claim. However, there are exceptions that our experienced legal team can evaluate on a case-by-case basis.
The steps to filing a claim are generally as follows:
- Gather Evidence: Obtain all relevant medical records, including diagnostic tests, reports, and treatment plans.
- Consult Experts: We work with leading medical experts to review the case and confirm that negligence occurred.
- File the Claim: We handle all aspects of the filing process, ensuring that your case is thoroughly prepared and submitted within the legal deadlines.
