Medical malpractice can be difficult to detect, especially when patients trust that their doctors have their best interests at heart. However, there are several red flags that may indicate a problem:

  • Unexpected or Worsening Symptoms: If your condition doesn’t improve or worsens without explanation, it may signal a misdiagnosis or improper treatment.
  • Conflicting Diagnoses: Getting different diagnoses from multiple providers could indicate a lack of proper evaluation.
  • Delayed Treatment: Long waits for tests, diagnosis, or treatment can negatively affect health outcomes and may be a sign of negligence.
  • Lack of Informed Consent: You should be fully informed about risks before procedures. If you weren’t, that’s a violation of your rights.
  • Unusual Behavior from Medical Staff: Evasiveness, poor communication, or reluctance to answer questions may be cause for concern.
