It should go without saying that the success of medical treatment depends on a correct diagnosis of the illness. Doctors and hospitals have a wide range of diagnostic tests and methods for determining what a patient’s symptoms indicate. A misdiagnosis can cause the patient to suffer unnecessary harm. Advocating for fair compensation is the key method for holding negligent doctors accountable for misdiagnosis. At The Epstein Law Firm, P.A., our New Jersey misdiagnosis lawyers are recognized for providing top-level legal counsel to our clients. With over 120 years of collective experience, we have recovered millions in compensation for patients harmed by medical negligence across New Jersey.
If you or a loved one have suffered because of a misdiagnosis, you already know that the consequences can be extreme. The added stress of worrying about your care is overwhelming in itself. Much more extensive and invasive treatment may be required if your condition has progressed to a more severe stage. Our medical misdiagnosis attorneys in Rochelle Park, NJ are here to fight for your right to full and fair compensation.
Proving that medical malpractice caused the misdiagnosis of your illness is often challenging. Our New Jersey misdiagnosis lawyers have the legal skills and knowledge of the medical standards needed to win cases.

A misdiagnosis can occur when a doctor diagnoses the wrong condition. In these cases, you may be treated for one condition while your actual illness continues to progress.

Regardless of the type of misdiagnosis involved in your case, our medical misdiagnosis attorneys in Rochelle Park, NJ will investigate to identify the root cause of the mistake. The simple fact that you were misdiagnosed does not automatically give you the right to compensation. However, if the doctor’s mistake was unreasonable under the circumstances, you may have a claim for medical malpractice.
To succeed in a claim based on medical malpractice in New Jersey, you must also show that you suffered harm caused by the misdiagnosis. Nearly every illness can be resolved most effectively with prompt and proper treatment. Misdiagnosis harms a patient by both delaying treatment and potentially causing more harm than good with an incorrect treatment plan.
Consequences of misdiagnosis can include:
The symptoms of serious health conditions often mirror those of much more common illnesses—many conditions are mistaken for the flu or muscle spasms. A doctor’s failure to order the appropriate tests and consult with specialists can amount to medical negligence.

Like any other medical malpractice case, to get compensation based on misdiagnosis we also have to show that the doctor’s mistake was unreasonable under the circumstances. Even with stringent training and skill, doctors cannot reach a favorable outcome for every patient. They can, however, be held to standards developed by the medical community. We bring in experts to testify about the applicable medical standard in your case. The medical experts will review the case our lawyers have built and give their opinion about why your doctor’s misdiagnosis should not have happened.
Many of our potential clients come in for a free case review and are not totally certain whether they have a case. You might not find out you were misdiagnosed until the doctor starts treating you for something different. You might find out when seeking a second opinion. Often, the doctor will not tell you they made a mistake. That’s why it is important to get an experienced lawyer’s advice if you suspect something went wrong in your treatment. We review your case for free so that we can give you our opinion about whether you have a strong case.
