Los Angeles Failure to Diagnose Lawyer
When a doctor fails to diagnose a serious medical condition in a timely manner, the consequences can be devastating. Patients rely on medical professionals to detect illnesses early, when they are most treatable. However, when a healthcare provider overlooks symptoms, misinterprets test results, or simply fails to act, a patient’s health can deteriorate, leading to severe complications, unnecessary suffering, or even death. If you or a loved one has been harmed due to a medical professional’s failure to diagnose a condition, you may have a legal right to compensation.

Why Hire Our Los Angeles Failure to Diagnose Lawyers?
Failure to diagnose cases are among the most challenging medical malpractice claims to prove. Many attorneys handle personal injury cases, but very few concentrate solely on medical malpractice. The experience that truly matters in these cases is trial and settlement experience with complex medical malpractice claims.
Dr. Bruce G. Fagel is an attorney and a licensed physician. This dual background allows him to analyze medical records, understand medical errors, and anticipate defense strategies in ways that most attorneys cannot.
If your case involves a failure to diagnose cancer, heart disease, stroke, infections, or any other life-threatening condition, you need a legal team that understands the complexities of both the law and medical science. We are here to help.
Common Medical Conditions That Go Undiagnosed
Doctors are trained to recognize early signs of disease, but when they fail to do so, the results can be life-threatening. Common conditions that are often misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all include:
- Cancer: Delayed cancer diagnoses can mean the difference between life and death. Early detection is critical for effective treatment.
- Heart Attacks & Strokes: Symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness can be misattributed to less serious conditions, delaying life-saving intervention.
- Infections & Sepsis: Failing to diagnose infections can lead to severe complications, especially in hospitals or after surgery.
- Diabetes & Autoimmune Diseases: Early symptoms of these conditions are often ignored or mistaken for minor issues, leading to worsening health over time.
If a healthcare provider failed to diagnose your condition, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
How We Prove Medical Malpractice in a Failure to Diagnose Case
To successfully prove a failure to diagnose claim, our team will demonstrate:
- A Doctor-Patient Relationship Existed: This establishes that the physician had a duty to provide competent care.
- Negligence Occurred: We must show that the doctor failed to act as a reasonable physician would under similar circumstances.
- The Failure to Diagnose Caused Harm: We will prove that the delay in diagnosis led to worsening health, unnecessary suffering, or even death.
Our medical malpractice firm works with leading medical experts to analyze your case and provide strong testimony in court.
