From Philadelphia, PA medical malpractice law offices, our trial lawyers for plaintiffs represent nursing home patients throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey who were misdiagnosed or not diagnosed with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or another serious illness like pneumonia or Alzheimer’s disease.

Nursing Home Medical Malpractice: Failure to Diagnose and Treat

Nursing homes and their medical staff are responsible for the safety and well-being of patients in their care. One critical component of patient care is the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions that may pose a threat to a patient’s welfare.

Failure to diagnose and treat any medical condition may constitute negligence. Some common types of medical conditions that may be misdiagnosed because of negligence include:

• Cancer
• Pneumonia
• Alzheimer’s
• Dehydration and malnutrition
• Bed sores
