Approximately 12 million people in the United States are affected each year by medical
diagnoses errors. Sadly, as many as 80,000 people each year die as a direct result of the complications that arise from misdiagnoses. Women are up to 30 percent more likely to receive a misdiagnosis than men. It is estimated that each person alive today will experience a medical misdiagnosis at least one time in their lifetimes.
When doctors make wrong diagnoses or fail to diagnose conditions, the consequences can be that illnesses and conditions are allowed to spread or progress, so treatment is made more complicated and is less effective.

However, diagnostic errors are sometimes the result of negligence on the part of the medical professional. We encourage you to discuss your rights as an injured party if you have been the victim of medical misdiagnosis or diagnostic errors by arranging a consultation with Paulozzi’s Cleveland medical misdiagnosis attorney.
