Medical Malpractice in "Failure to Diagnose" Cases from Joseph M. Dooley, a Chicago Medical Malpractice Attorney

When doctors, nurses, or other medical specialists make errors or are negligent, the consequences can be drastic. I have been assisting victims of medical malpractice in the Chicago area since 1988. As an experienced Chicago medical malpractice lawyer, I have the expertise to help you receive compensation for injuries due to negligent medical care.

At the Law Office of Joseph M. Dooley, III, P.C, I work diligently with injured clients to obtain compensation in wrongful death and personal injury lawsuits involving misdiagnosis.

Misdiagnosis is most common in situations such as in emergency room errors or during complications associated with childbirth. Resident doctors may miss signs or symptoms of distress or illness, and the resulting misdiagnosis may create more serious conditions, such as:

  • Aortic problems
  • Heart failure
  • Aneurysms
  • Embolisms
  • Appendix rupture
  • Pre-eclampsia
  • Placental Abruption
  • Kidney failure
  • Respiratory arrest
  • Loss of a limb (diabetes)

Clinic Errors

As a skilled Chicago personal injury lawyer, I work to prove that the loss or injury caused by either a misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose could have been avoided - or treated - if the doctor had used reasonable care.

I Can Help

I have the extensive experience and resources necessary to handle complex failure-to-diagnose cases. Although I cannot correct the pain that my clients have suffered, I may be able to obtain compensation for their losses.

If you or loved one has been injured due to a misdiagnosis, do not delay. Contact me, Joseph M. Dooley, an experienced Chicago medical malpractice attorney, for a free initial consultation.
