Failure to Treat – Medical Malpractice
Delays in Treatment Can Cost Lives
In medicine, timing is everything. A delay of hours—or even minutes—can mean the difference between recovery and permanent harm. When healthcare providers fail to act quickly or appropriately in response to serious symptoms, patients can suffer avoidable complications or even death.
At DiSilvio Young, we represent individuals and families who have been harmed by medical delays. If a doctor, hospital, or emergency room failed to treat your condition in a timely manner, and it led to serious injury or loss, you may have a claim.
Failure to treat in a timely manner can result in:
-
Worsening of the underlying condition
-
Prolonged hospital stays or multiple surgeries
-
Permanent disability or loss of function
-
Increased pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
-
Wrongful death of the patient
Our team works to uncover what caused the delay—and who is responsible.
What Is Failure to Treat?
“Failure to treat” refers to situations where a healthcare provider:
-
Recognizes a condition but delays treatment
-
Fails to escalate care or refer to a specialist
-
Discharges a patient prematurely
-
Takes too long to act on test results
-
Delays emergency intervention (e.g., surgery, medication)
This is more than poor service—it is a breakdown in professional medical care that can have fatal consequences.
Conditions Where Time Matters Most
-
Heart Attacks and Strokes
-
Sepsis and Infections
-
Appendicitis or Organ Rupture
-
Internal Bleeding or Trauma
-
Cancer (delays in starting treatment)
-
Complications During Labor and Delivery
When a doctor or hospital fails to act, fails to act quickly, the patient may lose the chance to recover or may suffer irreversible damage.
