Associated Disease Not Diagnosed

Lawyers talking

Because the body is so complex, many important functions are tied together. This means that when one thing goes wrong, it is common for a related system to also experience problems, often resulting in an associated disease or condition. Some frequent associated conditions include diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension and heart disease. While any of these problems could occur on their own, they are often seen in correlation with one another. That is why doctors are always supposed to test for any associated diseases when they diagnose a condition that is known to have related problems. If the doctor fails to diagnose a related disease, he may be liable for any damages associated with the undiagnosed condition. A Chicago medical malpractice attorney can help you claim the compensation you deserve for these devastating oversights.

Undiagnosed conditions can lead to serious complications, illnesses, injuries and death. If a patient suffers any enhanced conditions simply because a doctor failed to account for the possibility of a condition that commonly occurs in conjunction with a problem the patient was already diagnosed for, the doctor may be liable for the patient’s related pain and suffering. Your Chicago medical malpractice lawyer can ensure you receive compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, lost quality of life, pain, suffering, disfigurement and disability that is associated with the undiagnosed associated disease.

A Medical Malpractice Lawyer Will Aim to Prove Doctor Negligence

Associated conditions may be linked to one another for a variety of reasons, but it is usually because one disease indicates a risk factor for another one, one disease serving as a symptom for an underlying condition or because one disease is a complication of the other. When the conditions are related and an average doctor would have tested for the associated disease, your Chicago medical malpractice attorney can prove that your doctor was negligent for failing to do this testing.

I have the knowledge and understanding you need to ensure you receive the maximum possible compensation for a case involving an undiagnosed associated condition.
