Hartford Failure To Diagnose Attorney

The Impact Of A Missed Diagnosis

The consequences of a failure to diagnose can be devastating. For some conditions, early detection is critical for effective treatment. For example, cancers found in early stages often have far better survival rates than those diagnosed later. Similarly, prompt treatment of a heart attack or stroke can greatly reduce the risk of long-term disability.

When a diagnosis is missed or delayed, patients may require more invasive treatments, face higher medical costs, lose the ability to work, and endure prolonged pain and suffering. Families may also experience emotional distress and financial hardship as they support their loved one through extended illness.

Proving Medical Negligence

In Connecticut, proving that a failure to diagnose amounts to medical malpractice requires showing that:

• The healthcare provider had a duty to meet accepted standards of care
• The provider breached that duty by failing to make a timely or accurate diagnosis
• The breach directly caused harm to the patient

This process typically involves a detailed review of medical records, test results, and provider notes, along with the input of qualified medical professionals who can explain how the standard of care was not met.
