Healthcare professionals are responsible for diagnosing and treating patients. But patients are responsible for honestly communicating their symptoms and concerns. If a patient fails to inform their doctor about relevant symptoms they are experiencing, it may impact the doctor's ability to provide appropriate care. Consequently, the patient may be partly at fault if they knowingly withhold information that could have influenced the medical professional's decision-making process. A skilled medical malpractice attorney can gather evidence and build a case to prevent the blame from being put on you, allowing you to pursue the compensation you’re owed.
