When is Misdiagnosis Not Medical Malpractice?

http://www.phpattorneys.com A misdiagnosis can not only be frustrating, it can also cause harm, injury and even death. If you or a loved one find yourself in this situation, you might wonder if misdiagnosis is considered medical malpractice. According to medical malpractice attorney, James R. Howell of PHP Law Firm in Wichita, Kansas, it’s important to first define medical malpractice versus misdiagnosis. Medical malpractice is when a health care provider fails to deliver the “standard of care” (what a reasonable health care provider would do given the same or a similar situation) and it results in harm, injury or even death. While a misdiagnosis can be defined simply as an error in diagnosis, such an error does not always mean that medical malpractice has occurred. When a health care provider delivers the “standard of care” adequately and still makes a misdiagnosis, this situation would not be considered medical malpractice. At PHP Law Firm, we understand that determining whether a misdiagnosis involved medical malpractice can be overwhelming— especially as you strive to put your life back together. That’s why we offer free consultations to talk through your situation with a legal professional. Our main goal is making it possible for the patient and/or their loved ones to move forward again, so we do not charge a cent unless we win compensation for you.
