Misdiagnosis – Building a Strong Claim

Have you been misdiagnosed by a doctor or other medical professional?

Misdiagnosis can occur from a doctor’s failure to order the appropriate diagnostic test, failure to review the test data, failure to interpret the tests correctly or failure to refer to an appropriate specialist or physician for follow-up.

Many diagnostic tools are readily available today; however, the misuse or lack of use of these tools, along with the failure to promptly review AND correctly interpret the results, may narrow the window of opportunity to provide effective treatment.

If you suspect that someone was negligent in conducting tests or reviewing results you deserve to know what happened and if you have a case. Dr. Sawyer will review your case and share everything he uncovers with you so that you have a clear picture of the situation. If we agree to represent you, be assured that we will invest the necessary resources to present a powerful and persuasive case on your behalf. These reviews can be very expensive, but we pay all of those costs. We only claim reimbursement for attorney’s fees if we succeed in your case. If we decline your case, or do not succeed, you will not be required to pay those costs.
