Delayed Diagnosis can lead to Catastrophe

Delayed diagnosis can impact people in the prime of their lives, can cause serious consequences for expectant mothers, result in birth defects and can lead to unimaginable suffering for retired members of the Arizona community. All age groups are vulnerable to the consequences of delayed diagnosis. In many cases, a delay in diagnosis can be a death sentence if a disease such as cancer is not diagnosed or treated in a timely way. For parents, if an expectant mother’s infection or medical condition—such as gestational diabetes or preeclampsia—is not diagnosed, irreversible harm may be done to the baby.

Blood clots, infections, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer: many of these are treatable and non-fatal conditions. But if delayed diagnosis is an issue, these conditions can lead to catastrophic injuries and even death.

The underlying facts of delayed diagnosis cases often have tragic consequences. They are not easy cases to prosecute. They are always legally and medically challenging. Highly experienced attorneys with access to highly qualified medical experts are crucial in the successful processing of the claims. Proving that a doctor or other health care provider did not timely diagnose the patient’s condition and that this led to injury or greater harm can be difficult. Furthermore, there are often multiple parties responsible for the delay in diagnosis. The Law Offices of William D. Black has considerable expertise and experience to evaluate these complex cases. We also have the considerable resources to take on these challenging claims and lawsuits and accept cases on a contingency fee basis.
