The earlier certain diseases — such as cancer or heart disease — are discovered, the better the prognosis. A delay in months or years can be the difference between a relatively harmless diagnosis and a life-threatening disease. Wrongful diagnosis can also cause additional injuries. Many medications have unwanted side effects and unnecessary use can cause more harm than good.
Doctors take the oath to “first do no harm.” But what happens when a doctor’s mistake leaves a patient with severe injuries or a life-threatening illness?
At Jacqueline A. Scott & Associates, we represent patients who have been harmed by their doctor’s failure to accurately diagnose their illnesses in a timely fashion. We understand that no amount of money can cure you of your disease. However, financial compensation can help ease the financial strain caused by expensive medical treatments and ongoing physical therapies, and reimburse you for any lost wages resulting from you inability to work.
