Failure to Diagnose Lawyers in Chicago
Representing Victims of Medical Misdiagnosis
The failure to diagnose or a misdiagnosis of a serious medical condition can mean the difference between life and death. Proper diagnosis is crucial to the administration of appropriate medical treatment and failing to do so can delay or prevent necessary medical treatment or cause adverse drug reactions. With this in mind, failure to diagnose and misdiagnosis are some of the most common types of medical malpractice.
At Cogan & Power, P.C., our Chicago failure to diagnose attorneys focus on helping the victims of all types of medical malpractice, including the failure to diagnose, surgical errors, obstetrical negligence, and pharmaceutical errors, recover for their injuries, and losses. Our teamwork approach gives clients a big-firm level of legal competence while maintaining a small-firm feel in regard to attention and service to clients. For these reasons, clients communicate directly with our partners rather than an associate, and we can even meet with clients in their homes or healthcare facilities when they are unable to travel.
Wait no longer to fight for the compensation you deserve. To schedule your consultation, contact us online or at (312) 477-2500!

- Failure to heed a patient’s complaints
- Failure to order appropriate tests
- Misinterpretation of test results
- Misdiagnosis of a cancerous tumor as benign
