Failure to diagnose cancer is one of the most common diagnosis-related claims. When many forms of cancer are not diagnosed on time or are misdiagnosed, the chances of the patient to recover are greatly reduced. Failure to diagnose bacterial meningitis may also be considered medical malpractice and is a common claim against pediatricians and emergency room doctors in bacterial meningitis cases.

The number of failure to diagnose claims is consistently rising, and often compensation for this type of claim is very high because the injuries are so significant. These cases are generally traumatic for all involved, the patient as well as the family members who have to try to deal with a future that might have been quite different if only a cancer or another medical condition were diagnosed in time.
