Southern Illinois Injury Misdiagnosis Lawyer
Early detection and prompt intervention are essential for recovery from many forms of cancer and other diseases. Recognizing the need for surgery after a head injury or crush injuries can also make the difference between recovery and permanent disability or death. We depend on our doctors' skill and dedication when we need to know what is wrong.
How can we know if a doctor's diagnosis is correct and comprehensive — especially when under the stress of grave concern over a family member's medical condition? In most cases, the reality is that we cannot know at the time. If you believe now that a misdiagnosis led to the death or permanent disability of someone you love, please contact our law firm.
Dedicated to Up-Front Case Analysis and Relentless Advocacy for Victims
Misdiagnosis — resulting from the failure to order the right tests and properly interpret results, inadequate medical examination or other physician negligence — can be an actionable form of medical malpractice. Over the course of a long, successful career, our founding attorney Thomas Q. Keefe Jr. has built substantial medical knowledge that informs all the work of our firm in such cases.
Our Belleville medical negligence lawyers are devoted to thorough case analysis and the assembly of telling evidence to deal with key issues including:
- Whether an illness or injury was detectable with proper testing and analysis
- Whether a more timely diagnosis would likely have made a significant difference in the medical outcome
We build each medical malpractice and other personal injury case we handle for trial. Our track record is an asset for pursuing just, sizable negotiated settlements. Opponents must also respect our proven ability in court. To talk through the circumstances you believe indicate misdiagnosis or another form of doctor or hospital negligence, please contact an attorney at our southern Illinois law firm today.
