In medical malpractice lawsuits, the focus is often on an action that a doctor, nurse, or surgeon failed to do correctly. From an unintentional incision to over administering medications, malpractice is often focused on things that a medical professional did wrong. Sometimes, however, the malpractice is not about what the doctor did, but what they didn't do. For example, sometimes, the malpractice is failure to diagnose.

Failure to diagnose includes failing to diagnose a medical condition and misdiagnosing a patient’s condition. While medical practitioners are allowed to make reasonable mistakes and are not expected to be all-knowing, when a medical professional’s misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose directly results in harm befalling a patient, and that doctor did not act as a reasonable professional would have, then the doctor may have committed malpractice.

Failure to diagnose can be a difficult claim to bring. These types of malpractice lawsuits can often become a battle of the experts where the most persuasive expert witness will be the deciding factor. An experienced medical malpractice attorney can find experts to support their case and know how to paint the opposing witness less reliable.
