What is Delayed Diagnosis?

Delayed diagnosis occurs when a patient does not receive an accurate diagnosis within a reasonable timeframe. Delayed diagnosis may occur in situations such as:

Delayed care provided
A delay in the appropriate testing for the condition
Errors in procedures that lead to delays in receiving appropriate treatment
Failure to recognize symptoms, resulting in delays
Communication failures or mistakes resulting in delayed proper care
Lack of access to diagnostic tools or specialists

In these situations, delayed diagnosis may constitute medical malpractice if it results in additional complications and injuries. The consequences of delayed diagnosis may include:

The need for more aggressive treatment
Disease or injury progression that becomes severe or spreads
Emotional and psychological toll due to the distress of additional testing and delays
Increased costs associated with delay
Reduced the effectiveness of a patient’s treatment for the condition

If you suffered a worse outcome because of delays in the diagnosis of your condition, let our Connecticut delayed diagnosis lawyer work on your case.

Who is Liable for My Delayed Diagnosis?

Licensed professionals who owe you a duty of care, through an established doctor-patient connection, could be responsible for your losses. This may include doctors, nurses, EMTs, hospitals, and other healthcare providers.

Our lawyer must demonstrate that your injuries and losses resulted from the medical provider’s failure to adhere to standard medical care practices. That means another provider with the same training, education, information, and resources would not act in the same way.

How Long Do I Have To File a Delayed Diagnosis in Connecticut?

Victims of medical malpractice, which is what a delayed diagnosis is, have two years from the date of discovery of the error to seek legal action through a lawsuit filed in court under the Connecticut statute of limitations. However, this cannot be more than three years from the date the incident occurred. We encourage you to reach out as soon as possible to give our team time to build your case.
