Understanding Failure to Diagnose Cases
Failure to diagnose occurs when a medical professional incorrectly assesses, overlooks, or delays in identifying a medical condition. This oversight can lead to improper treatment, worsening of the condition, or even preventable death. In Boston, these cases adhere to Massachusetts malpractice laws, which set a high standard for proving negligence, often requiring testimony from qualified medical witnesses and detailed medical records.
Understanding the complexity of these cases is crucial. In many instances, a failure to diagnose might stem from missed test results, inadequate questioning during patient evaluations, or failure to recognize symptoms. Each scenario requires careful scrutiny and detailed medical analysis to determine where the breakdown occurred. At Crowe & Harris, LLP, we meticulously review all relevant medical documentation and consult with industry professionals to build a robust case for our clients.

How We Prove Failure to Diagnose in Boston
To succeed in a failure to diagnose claim, we must demonstrate that a reasonably careful provider would have recognized the condition sooner. This often involves examining:
- Whether appropriate diagnostic tests were ordered
- Whether abnormal results were reviewed and acted upon
- Whether symptoms were properly documented
- Whether follow-up care occurred in a timely manner
In some cases, missed warning signs in emergency departments may overlap with issues related to emergency room errors. In others, systemic breakdowns—such as lost lab results or communication failures—may raise concerns of broader hospital negligence.
Our attorneys work with medical witnesses to connect these failures to the harm suffered. By building a clear timeline and demonstrating how the delayed diagnosis worsened your condition, we strengthen the foundation for pursuing compensation.
