Medical Malpractice Attorneys in West Virginia
Many medical conditions are impossible to detect, even to an experienced physician. However, if a doctor fails to diagnose a condition that could have been detected by another medical professional, it may be a case of medical malpractice. This may be a result of inadequate examination, failure to conduct appropriate tests or failure to connect the dots between test results or symptoms.
If a medical professional administers improper care to a patient, they are accountable for those actions. This can range from administering a treatment that results in injury or harm to a patient to mistakes during surgery, and even inappropriate prescriptions. Any act of known negligence on the part of your medical provider may be considered medical malpractice.
What is Negligent Nondisclosure?
Similar to a failure to diagnose, this situation involves a doctor’s failure to notify you of all known risks involved with a given prescription, procedure, test or surgical recommendation. Another term for it is negligent nondisclosure.
