Lawsuits for Medical Misdiagnosis & Failure to Diagnose in Connecticut
A delayed diagnosis of a serious medical condition can worsen fear and limit treatment options. If you’ve suffered due to an undiagnosed condition, experienced legal counsel can help secure compensation for your pain, unnecessary treatments, lost wages, and diminished quality of life.
The diagnosis of a serious medical problem is always a shock that brings with it fear and anxiety. When the diagnosis could and should have been made months or years earlier, your fears are multiplied and your options often minimized.
If you suffer from a serious medical condition that went undiagnosed, you need experienced legal counsel to protect your interests and force the responsible parties to provide financial compensation for your avoidable injuries, including pain and suffering, unnecessary medical treatments, lost wages and loss of the enjoyment of life.

Client Testimonials
I had the privilege of being represented by Mr. John Kennedy. He was someone I could trust to be honest and walk me through a difficult time. Taylor, his paralegal, took the time to explain each circumstance that came about. I appreciate the work that was done by Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Nelligan. I would recommend Attorney John Kennedy because of his integrity and genuine concern he showed to me. My experience with them was something I will never forget and will always be thankful for.
