Seeking Compensation for Failure to Diagnose and Delayed Diagnosis
One of a doctor's most important responsibilities is to act with diligence when diagnosing the causes of patients' symptoms. Unfortunately, not all doctors live up to their responsibilities, and the lack of a timely diagnosis can have severe consequences for many patients.
At the law firm of Furr & Henshaw, with offices in Myrtle Beach and Columbia, our South Carolina misdiagnosis lawyers help clients throughout the state pursue medical malpractice and wrongful death claims, including claims for failure to diagnose and delayed diagnosis.
Did Your Doctor Take the Appropriate Steps to Diagnose Your Condition?
A misdiagnosis may be considered medical negligence if, for instance, a doctor chooses not to get a complete medical history, fails to order appropriate medical tests, fails to recognize signs and symptoms of a serious illness, or fails to follow correct differential diagnosis procedures.
Our firm has more than 40 years of experience pursuing medical malpractice claims, and we are recognized as one of South Carolina's premier law firms in this area. We regularly assist clients with claims for failure to diagnose illnesses and conditions such as the following:
- Cancer
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Infection
- Appendicitis

We are extremely thorough in our approach to both the medical and legal issues involved in these cases. We are dedicated to staying current on the latest advances in the law and science of medical negligence through our heavy investment in continuing legal education.
