A differential diagnosis is a fundamental tool used by physicians to diagnose a patient. A patient’s clinical symptoms oftentimes mirror those found in a variety of medical conditions. Physicians have an obligation to consider the potential diagnoses for each clinical presentation and work them up considering their likelihood and degree of danger. Sometimes physicians fail to consider essential diagnoses in these differentials or do not order necessary diagnostic tests to rule them out.

Kelly & Ignoffo Law Group is highly experienced in evaluating and litigating cases involving missed and delayed diagnoses due to these failures. We stand ready to aggressively pursue compensation if this has occurred to you or a loved one.

Whether caused by a failure to diagnose a medical condition in a timely manner, improper performance of a surgical procedure, or a direct trauma, brain and spinal cord injuries are devastating.

From routine procedures to the most complex surgeries, patients trust that their surgeon has the necessary skill and training to perform the procedure as safely and successfully as possible. This includes securing any necessary pre-surgical imaging, following sterilization protocol, identifying critical anatomy during the surgery, operating within the appropriate surgical field, and properly conducting post-surgical monitoring. Failures in these and other essential aspects of a surgical procedure can result in significant injury or death.

At Kelly & Ignoffo Law Group, our attorneys have the resources, knowledge, and experience necessary to identify these failures and fully prosecute these cases.

Anesthesia allows patients to undergo surgery without consciously enduring pain. While it comes in many forms, anesthesia commonly involves a combination of medications that can be extremely harmful, and even fatal, if not properly administered. Anesthesiologists must consider a variety of factors when determining the type of anesthetic most appropriate for a patient. Further, once the chosen anesthetic is delivered, an anesthesiologist must monitor their patient during and after surgery for signs of complications. Failures to do so can lead to serious injury or death.

Pathologists and radiologists play a critical role in diagnosing medical conditions, but patients rarely come into contact with them. As a result, patients may not realize their importance. These clinicians make judgments based on pathology slides, x-rays, mammograms, CTs, and MRIs that drive diagnoses and treatment. If they fail to recognize important findings or report them inaccurately, the ordering doctors can miss important diagnoses. When this occurs, patients suffer. Alternatively, radiologists and pathologists may properly report findings and recommendations, but attending physicians may fail to recognize or follow-up on the results. When this happens, devastating harm can occur.

At Kelly & Ignoffo Law Group, our attorneys are highly experienced in these complex malpractice cases. We have the knowledge and resources to fully evaluate your claim and pursue the recovery you deserve.

A patient can make an informed decision on whether to proceed with a certain test or undergo a specific surgery only when they are fully informed of the risks and benefits associated with the procedure. This is especially true for experimental or other non-routine procedures. Care providers are obligated to ensure that patients understand the expected benefits of a procedure and the potential risks. If a patient is harmed due to a risk of an elective medical procedure which was known to the care provider but unknown to the patient, malpractice may have occurred.
