Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Medical Negligence-Failure to Diagnose

Doctors and other health care professionals are expected to follow standard treatment protocols when diagnosing or treating a patient. When certain symptoms or disorders are evident, doctors should undertake measures to identify the cause in order to properly diagnose an illness or condition. At the law office of Nix Law Group, our lawyers expose negligence and departures from the required standard of care on the part of physicians. Working with established medical experts and specialists, our office reviews a patient's medical charts, test results, and symptoms in order to identify warning signs a doctor should have noticed and responded to. Our attorneys also subpoena video footage of operating, emergency, and delivery rooms in order to determine if a doctor or attending staff failed to respond to symptoms once they became apparent.

Before speaking to an insurance agent or HMO about your injury, contact the medical malpractice lawyers at Nix Law Group today. We will review your case to determine if you have a cause for action and explain the legal options to you.

Negligence and a Failure to Diagnose

The law office of Nix Law Group represents clients in cases involving the following kinds of failure to diagnose:

• Meningitis
• Heart attack
• Stroke
• Diabetic seizure
• Cancer
• Brain bleed/ spine injury
• Bacterial infection
• Sepsis
• Organ failure
• Internal bleeding
• Infection

Determining When Negligence is Involved - Evaluating Your Case

Under the terms of the new laws governing torts, a preliminary finding of medical negligence must first be established before a medical malpractice case can proceed. At Nix Law Group, our attorneys assemble a team of medical experts in order too thoroughly review the decisions and actions of doctors and attending staff.  Before we file a med mal case, we have all our ducks in a row and are ready to push the case to trial or a reasonable settlement.

While certain complications can occur in medicine, unavoidable consequences are different from medical errors and medical negligence that causes unnecessary injury and damages.  The failure to run certain necessary tests, pursue diagnostic possibilities, rule out life-threatening diagnoses or administer preventative treatment constitutes negligence when standard treatment protocols recommend doing so.
