Pittsburgh Associated Disease Not Diagnosed Lawyer

When doctor’s test a patient or diagnose a patient with a certain condition, they oftentimes also test for other associated conditions. Some medical conditions are risk factors or symptoms of another condition, known medically as “associated diseases.” Heart disease for example, is typically diagnosed alongside high cholesterol and/oror diabetes. If your doctor tells you that you have one condition, he or she should be looking for the other conditions as well.

Any medical condition that usually occurs alongside another that is left undiagnosed is deemed an “associated disease not diagnosed.” These associated diseases are sometimes caught by another doctor, or at a later date, but if left undiagnosed, can lead to serious medical problems that may result in permanent injury or death.

An associated disease left undiagnosed is considered medical malpractice. If you or your loved one has been the victim of an associated disease not diagnosed, please contact the law office of the Pittsburgh Medical Malpractice Attorney today.

It is a standard medical practice to test for and detect medical conditions that may be related to a known condition. If the tests conducted on you were faulty, inaccurate, or improperly administered, these are also legal grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit.

By filing a medical malpractice lawsuit, you and your family could receive compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

If you or your loved one was injured or passed away because of an associated disease not diagnosed, please contact our office to consult with the Pittsburgh Medical Malpractice Attorney today.
