Delayed Diagnosis: When Critical Time Is Lost

Every moment counts in medical treatment, and a delayed diagnosis can make the difference between recovery and irreversible harm. When doctors fail to recognize symptoms or order necessary tests, the consequences can be devastating. At Wagar Hickman, we fight for justice for patients and families impacted by delayed diagnoses.

Common Conditions Impacted by Delayed Diagnoses

Cancer

Early detection saves lives. A delayed cancer diagnosis can allow the disease to progress to an untreatable stage.

Heart Attacks and Strokes

Failing to act quickly during these emergencies can lead to severe complications or death.

Infections

Untreated infections can spread, causing life-threatening sepsis.

The Impact of Negligence

Medical professionals are trained to recognize and respond to red flags, yet lapses in communication, inexperience, or overwork can lead to delayed care. These are preventable failures. We’ll investigate your case thoroughly, holding providers accountable and helping you secure the compensation you deserve.
