What Steps Should I Take After a Misdiagnosis?

When you realize you are suffering due to a misdiagnosis, the two most important steps to take are documenting everything and seeking the help of a lawyer. You should collect the medical records and invoices from the doctor who misdiagnosed you, as well as any records documenting the correct diagnosis. If you suffered other losses, such as missing time from work or needing to hire a house cleaning service because you could no longer perform those tasks yourself, you should also keep any records related to that.

You should speak to a lawyer immediately after learning that you were misdiagnosed. Our medical malpractice attorneys have a network of medical experts we can reach out to, and we can assist with gathering the medical records you need. Medical misdiagnosis claims are also some of the most complicated, and our lawyers can walk you through the process and explain what to expect.
