Medical negligence occurs in many different ways. It can occur as the result of a delay in diagnosing an illness or condition, failure to diagnose a problem, a mistake during surgery, improper or inappropriate treatment, or other actions or failures.

For many diseases, such as cancer, the key to successful treatment is early diagnosis. Unfortunately, some people are diagnosed with a debilitating or terminal disease after it has been present for a long time and has already become advanced. This can be catastrophic for the patient and their family members if they feel their doctor could have or should have diagnosed their condition earlier.

Certain medical mistakes can lead to a delay in properly diagnosing life-threatening conditions. Failing to realize the importance of a patient?s complaints, failing to refer a patient to the right type of specialist in a timely fashion, or misreading x-rays or test results are a few of the factors that can lead to a delay in diagnosing a life threatening disease. Tragically, these errors can deprive patients of the chance for a cure.
