Q: If you go to am emergency room and are misdiagnosed and then treated in the wrong way then causing you to suffer
Excruciating pain for several weeks would there be a case against the hospital, radiologist and doctor?
A: An Indiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a month. Until you are able to consult with a local attorney, the short answer is that these settings are fact-specific. It would depend on the severity of injury and level of misdiagnosis. The fundamental question would be whether there was a departure from a required standard of care that should have been exercised. And that can't be answered from the concise facts here. If you reached out to Indiana law firms, they could offer more meaningful guidance with further details about the matter. I hope you are okay and recovering. Good luck
