Seeking Compensation for the Consequences of Untreated Fractures
If you have suffered permanent bodily harm or have had to go through unnecessarily painful surgery due to the delayed diagnosis of a broken bone, you may have a medical malpractice claim against the doctor or hospital responsible for the misdiagnosis.
At the Myrtle Beach and Columbia law firm of Furr & Henshaw, our South Carolina broken bone misdiagnosis attorneys have decades of experience helping clients statewide pursue compensation for failure to diagnose and other forms of medical negligence.
Were You Told Your Broken Bone Was a Sprain and Sent Home?
All too often, broken bones are misdiagnosed as sprains, and people whose bones need to be set promptly are instead sent home, allowing their injuries to become more serious. When a broken bone is not treated promptly, it can have consequences such as the following:
- A permanent, profound limp or other disability
- Nerve damage
- A lifelong need for ankle support devices
- A need for surgery to re-break and set the bone
Often, understaffing plays a role in the misdiagnosis of broken bones. For instance, when a radiologist is not available at a hospital, an X-ray may be read by an emergency room doctor who is not as experienced at interpreting the results of imaging tests.
