When a physician’s diagnosis error results to inadequate treatment, delayed medical care, or no treatment whatsoever, a patient’s condition may worsen, which could eventually lead to death. Unfortunately, the majority of medical malpractice lawsuits in Alaska derive from misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of an injury, illness or medical condition.

With 20+ years of experience as a misdiagnosis attorney in Anchorage, I’m dedicated to making sure you recover the maximum amount of your compensation.

How to Prove Medical Misdiagnosis

In Alaska, the law doesn’t hold doctors, physicians and surgeons legally accountable for their diagnostic errors. However, patients typically must prove three aspects in order to be successful in a misdiagnosis lawsuit. While misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis is not sufficient enough to be considered negligence, it’s imperative to determine whether the doctor acted in a competent manner.

The following must be proven in order to properly file a medical misdiagnosis claim:

• A doctor-patient relationship did exist
• The doctor’s actions were negligent due to the lack of skillfulness and competence
• The doctor’s negligent actions directly caused injury to the patient
