Misdiagnosis & Delayed Diagnosis Lawsuits Overview
By the time you know something was missed, significant harm may already be done.
Diagnostic errors are not always obvious. A physician who dismisses concerning symptoms, orders the wrong tests, misreads a pathology result, or fails to refer to a specialist may not announce that a mistake was made. The patient often finds out only when a second provider diagnoses the condition that should have been caught months or years earlier, by which time treatment options may be narrowed and the prognosis is worse.

Know Your Misdiagnosis & Delayed Diagnosis Lawsuits Rights
Kentucky misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis law in plain language.
If you think you have a misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis case, the sooner we can evaluate your situation, the more options you have. If we take your case, we handle it completely. If we do not think we can improve your outcome, we will tell you that honestly.
Your Right to an Accurate Diagnosis Within the Standard of Care.
Every physician owes patients the duty to conduct a diagnostic evaluation consistent with the standard of care for their specialty. This includes taking a thorough history, ordering appropriate tests, interpreting results correctly, following up on abnormal findings, and referring to a specialist when the presentation warrants it. Failure to do so, resulting in a missed or delayed diagnosis that causes harm, is actionable malpractice.
Your Right to Compensation for the Harm Caused by the Delay.
In misdiagnosis cases, the recoverable harm is the difference between the outcome you would have had if the correct diagnosis had been made on time versus the outcome you actually experienced.
