New Orleans Lawyers Protecting Victims of Misdiagnosis
More than 30 Years of Personal Injury Experience
Even experienced medical professionals can rule out serious diseases too quickly. For some diseases and conditions, particularly cancer, heart attacks and strokes, misdiagnosis (failure to diagnose) or late diagnosis can be disastrous, even fatal.
If you or a loved one was misdiagnosed, Chopin Wagar Richard & Kutcher, LLP, is well-prepared to hold doctors and medical specialists accountable for medical malpractice. We help clients recover damages from negligent misdiagnosis of cancer and other serious illnesses as well as family members dealing with the loss of a loved one caused by medical negligence. Medical malpractice may be difficult to prove. Insurance companies traditionally protect themselves with aggressive and skilled defense teams. You deserve dedicated and zealous representation as well.

Fighting for Victims of Misdiagnosis
Part of our law firm's success is attributed to our strong trial experience. We have successfully tried hundreds of complicated personal injury cases. We devote ample resources to each client, preparing every case as if it will proceed to trial. A hands-on approach, working with medical experts as needed, helps our firm determine if medical malpractice occurred. This could involve:
- Doctors misreading a radiologist's critical notes
- Physicians failing to refer patients to a specialist for a biopsy
- Radiologists failing to notify patients of a suspicious exam
- Doctors failing to offer regular mammograms or pap smears
