Unfortunately, physicians are sometimes guilty of carelessness or neglectfulness, and often, this behavior leads to patients sustaining serious harm. If you or a loved one suffered from misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, a Houston diagnosis error lawyer from Davis & Davis, Attorneys at Law, can help. The doctors may not have been paying attention then, but we can help make sure they pay attention now. Contact us today so we can get started.
