Following an injury sustained in an accident it’s crucial that you or the injured person consults a reputed, experienced, knowledgeable and qualified doctor immediately. This can be done with the assistance of an Elliot Lake personal injury lawyer from Singh Barristers, who can ensure that timely, accurate diagnosis and the right treatment are given without delay. Failure to diagnose your problem can result in the injury causing more severe damage or it could worsen and cause other problems leading to serious consequences. For instance, if you’ve been in a motor-vehicle accident or suffered a slip and fall injury, you may feel that you’ve escaped with little or no injuries. Yet, it’s wiser to consult a good doctor and get yourself thoroughly checked. Some kinds of injuries like whiplash, internal bleeding, minor fractures, soft tissue injuries etc could manifest later on, leading to severe problems.
One of the issues with personal injury law, as our Elliot Lake car accident lawyers and Elliot lake slip and fall injury lawyers are well aware, is that any delay in filing a claim for compensation could mean that you miss the filing deadlines that are applicable in your location. Hence, it’s important to get a diagnosis as soon as possible from your doctor.
Failure to diagnose or a mistaken diagnosis happens when symptoms are not conclusive or the doctor is not experienced enough to take all the variables into consideration. An inexperienced or over-busy doctor could be dismissive of your symptoms. They could attribute symptoms to psychosomatic issues or tell you “it’s all in your mind.” Patients who are insistent that they receive an immediate diagnosis could compel the doctor to give a “trash can diagnosis.” Sometimes, too much or too little emphasis is given to any one aspect of the injury. If the presenting symptoms are unusual, which the doctor has not encountered earlier, this could result in a failure to diagnose or mistaken diagnosis. Hence, our injury lawyers can ensure that you consult top-quality physicians who have experience, knowledge and expertise in the type of injury you have suffered. We can assist you to consult the right doctor.
