About Misdiagnosis & Delayed Diagnosis
A misdiagnosis can quietly change the course of your health — a missed, delayed, or wrong diagnosis that lets a condition worsen, such as cancer or a heart attack caught too late. In California, diagnostic claims are unusually time-sensitive: the deadline is often about a year from when the harm was or should have been discovered — shorter than for ordinary injuries — so understanding it early matters. California also caps certain non-economic damages, and these claims usually require an independent medical review. If you believe a diagnosis came too late or was wrong, you can share a few details and connect with a California attorney.
