Delayed treatment may cause individuals life-altering harm in a number of ways. The most common reason that harm occurs is because an individual’s condition worsens while treatment is delayed.
Delayed treatment may happen as a result of:
- Clerical errors
- Delayed or incorrect diagnosis
- Healthcare provider negligence
Each of these reasons for delayed treatment may qualify as medical malpractice. As such, individuals who suffer harm after receiving delayed treatment may be eligible to receive financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering, and more.
However, keep in mind that not all doctor errors constitute medical malpractice. Before taking legal action against a medical institution for medical malpractice, individuals are advised to discuss their cases with an experienced Springfield medical malpractice lawyer. During your consultation, you can discuss the severity of the damages you have suffered and determine whether you have a viable case.
