Philadelphia Diagnosis Error Attorneys
Most of us were brought up from an early age to put a great deal of trust in doctors. We turn to them when we do not feel well, accept their diagnoses, and follow their advice. Unfortunately doctors are as fallible as all other people, and they are just as likely to make mistakes. When a doctor provides an incorrect diagnosis, or when a doctor fails to find the correct diagnosis in a timely manner, the patient is denied the medical treatment that he or she so desperately needs.
If you or a member of your family has suffered an injury or illness because a doctor made an error in diagnosis, you could have grounds for legal action. Compensatory damages can help you cover the costs of necessary medical treatments, missed work or reduced earning capacity, and other expenses.

Harmful Errors in Diagnosis
Most mistakes that doctors or other medical workers make during the diagnosis stage fall into one of two categories:
- Wrong Diagnosis
- Delayed Diagnosis
Either of these sadly common mistakes can have severe medical consequences for innocent patients, including:
- Progression of the initial illness or injury
- Harmful treatment side effects
- Lasting disability from the initial condition or the incorrect treatment
- Death caused by an undiagnosed or poorly treated condition
If you or a loved one has been harmed because of mistakes like these, you need a law firm that understands both the medical and legal aspects of your situation. At Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., our on-staff medical doctor works with our experienced Philadelphia diagnostic error attorneys to ensure that you get the attention and assistance you deserve.
