Failure to Diagnose & Misdiagnosis

New Mexico Merical Malpractice Attorney

It’s common knowledge, within the medical profession, that the earlier you can make an accurate diagnosis of a health risk, the more options you’ll have and the greater the likelihood that you’ll have a successful outcome. Unfortunately, far too often, doctors either misdiagnose a condition or fail to diagnose it altogether. One government study estimates that as many as 12 million Americans are misdiagnosed every year. If you or a loved one has suffered needlessly because of a misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose, Buchanan Law can help.

At Buchanan Law, we have more than two decades of experience handling a broad range of complex claims, including medical malpractice. Attorney Deena Buchanan is a highly respected and successful litigator who has handled many seven-figure personal injury disputes, including wrongful death claims. She’s earned accolades from opposing counsel, as well as judges and clients, for her skills. She takes pride in maintaining calm and focus in all situations.

Deena Buchanan understands the uncertainty and anxiety that accompany a personal injury—she was hurt in an accident caused by someone else’s carelessness. She’s also worked as defense counsel in personal injury claims, so she knows how insurance companies prepare their cases.

Though attorney Buchanan has successfully resolved legal claims in more than 20 states, we focus our personal injury practice on claims in the New Mexico courts. We have an intimate knowledge and understanding of the laws and the courts in the Land of Enchantment, as well as the ways judges typically try personal injury cases. We have a physical office in Albuquerque and additional meeting space in Santa Fe, but will travel to meet with you in person anywhere in the state.

We know from experience that every medical malpractice claim is unique. We’ll take the time to learn exactly what happened to you, so that we can tailor our counsel to get the outcome you want.  We offer a free initial consultation for most personal injury claims.

Our Representation in Claims Involving Misdiagnosis or Failure to Diagnose

At Buchanan Law, we’ll carefully investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding a claim of misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose. We’ll work hand-in-hand with medical experts, so that we can present the most clear and compelling arguments for negligence and damages to a judge and jury.

We represent individuals who have suffered loss because of any careless misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose, including situations where:

• Medical professionals failed to conduct reasonable tests to make an accurate and timely diagnosis
• Doctors negligently interpreted and read test results, resulting in delayed or inaccurate diagnosis
• Physicians failed to recognize common complications or related diseases
• Medical professionals failed to get a full medical history or document patient’s symptoms
• A diagnosis was made using the wrong medical chart or test results

We handle claims involving all types of injuries resulting from misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose, including cancer, heart disease, infection and other serious and catastrophic injury. We also take wrongful death claims arising out of misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose.

We will help you recover damages for all your losses, including income or wages, pain and suffering, unreimbursed medical expenses, loss of consortium or companionship, lost household services, and loss of enjoyment of life.
