Delayed Care Negligence Claims - Delayed Diagnosis
A delayed diagnosis can result in missed medical opportunities and can often result in medical conditions worsening. When a practitioner fails to recognise your ailment it can create a dangerous scenario in which an easily curable ailment progresses to the point of becoming permanently damaging. Delayed Care negligence claims come in many forms and you are entitled to receive compensation for your injuries if they are the result of a delayed diagnosis.
The circumstances surrounding your delayed diagnosis injuries can be the determining factor in your ability to lodge a delayed care negligence claim. You will need to prove that your injuries are the result of your practitioner’s inability to perform their duties properly. You have three years from the date of your injury to lodge your delayed diagnosis claim.
Types of Delayed Diagnosis Claims
There are many different types of scenarios that can be considered delayed diagnosis. This can include not correctly diagnosis the disease in time as well as a number of other situations such as:
Delayed Medication
Your medical professional must provide you with access to the medication you need to properly treat your ailment. A failure to provide medicine in a timely manner is one of the most common types of delayed diagnosis claims encountered in Scotland.
Delayed Surgery
A delayed surgery can leave an individual in a worsened state of health. In these circumstances, the harm caused by the delayed treatment can exceed the original ailment. Tumors and other life-threatening diseases can be better controlled when the ailment is discovered sooner rather than later and a failure to diagnose an ailment as serious as cancer can result in an inability to provide sufficient care.
Delayed Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is one of the most important parts of any medical procedure and there is always a risk of reappearing injuries and ailments when a practitioner fails to provide their patients with access to timely recovery treatments.
Delayed Personal Care – Neglect
A patient can be weak and often unable to care for themselves following a major medical procedure. Your practitioner is tasked with providing you care in these situations such as when a patient is bedridden. This can require your practitioner to perform certain tasks to prevent the formation of bed sores and ulcers. These extremely painful ailments can be completely avoided by following proper medical procedures.
Delayed Post-Hospital Care
Your caregiver is required to provide you with post-hospital care after major medical treatments as required as a part of the treatment process. This can include the days directly following a hospital visit and can continue for months.
