Medical Malpractice and the Failure to Diagnose Cancer or Serious Illness
Jacobs Law LLC in Muncie and Indianapolis
Medical diagnosis is a complex skill. It's not unusual to fail to make a proper diagnosis at an initial visit and, depending upon the complexity of the case and how much is known about the condition, it can take some time for a doctor to make an accurate diagnosis.
The point at which a misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose or communicate an effective treatment plan to the patient becomes a potential medical malpractice case is when negligence has played a significant role and the delays caused by that failure could mean the condition has become much worse, even fatal.
If you suffered a worsening of your medical condition, or a family member died at the hands of a medical professional because of a failure to diagnose a medical condition, the Indiana medical malpractice lawyers at Jacobs Law LLC can help you bring an injury claim. Contact our Indianapolis or Muncie law office to schedule a free consultation and case evaluation or call us toll-free at 800-915-9690.

We hope you enjoy your stay in Indianapolis for the 2012 Super Bowl. While you visit our city, there will be LOTS to do and see -- but -- please be careful! Accidents can happen at the most unexpected times and places. Car accidents caused by drunk drivers (or drivers who disobey Indiana's law against texting while driving!), trips or slip and fall accidents in hotels, bars, and restaurants--- are just a few of the unfortunate accidents that can occur at any time, and personal injury risks go up whenever you throw alcohol into the mix! Wherever there are big crowds, people can get injured. The attorneys at Jacobs Law LLC have represented many out-of-state visitors to our city, and have handled cases involving some of Indiana's biggest venues, including Conseco Fieldhouse (now Bankers Life Fieldhouse), the Indiana Convention Center, Verizon Wireless Music Center (now Klipsch Music Center), and the Pepsi Coliseum. If you receive injuries because of someone else's carelessness during your stay in our city, we'd like to help. We wish you a safe and fun-filled Super Bowl experience, and we will be here for you if the unexpected happens.
