What can I do if my child was misdiagnosed by a doctor?

Linda Jane Chalat
Answered by attorney Linda Jane Chalat (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Chalat Hatten & Banker PC
We caution all potential clients that medical malpractice claims are very difficult to win - few settle and those that are tried are won by the doctor 9 out of 10 times. Those cases which have the best chance for a good outcome for the plaintiff are those where a clear act of negligence, or omission of appropriate care, are clearly apparent in the medical record. Even if negligence can be established, I am doubtful that it would still be in your best interest to pursue a case. We estimate that the litigation expenses alone, excluding attorney fees, will run $30,000 to $50,000 for the "average" medical malpractice case - these are costs for which the plaintiff is responsible regardless of the outcome of the claim. Only those cases where there is catastrophic injury requiring significant future medical expenses do the damages warrant the risk of litigating the claim. I regret not being able to offer more hopeful advice, but given the information you provide I do not believe the delay in proper diagnosis will compel a jury to a substantial award. Another attorney may have a different opinion and I encourage you to seek a second opinion. Please keep in mind that you have a two year statute of limitations in Colorado for filing a medical malpractice claim, you must file within two years of the act of negligence or lose your right to do so. Other time limitations may apply.

Can I sue a hospital for giving me a wrong diagnosis?

Answered by attorney Willie Stephen Graves (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Graves Law Firm
You can sue, but suing a hospital is a very expensive and traumatic process. No lawyer is likely to take your case on contingency, i.e. on an agreement to get paid only out of what he or she can recover for you, because the cost of preparing and presenting your case will be much higher than the dollar amount you are likely to recover if you win. In short, though your case may be a liability winner, it's a money loser. Thank your Texas legislature and Supreme Court, and while you're at it thank the insurance companies and your fellow citizens (juries who buy the insurance company line) for making it impossible for malpractice victims to get justice in the vast majority of cases.
