Failure to Diagnose Cancer
Learning that you have cancer is a shock that nobody takes well. Anger will play a big part in most people’s acceptance process. Even more so, in cases where a doctor failed to do tests, diagnose, or treat your disease when symptoms first appeared.
If you or a loved one are suffering as a result of a doctor’s failure to diagnose cancer, our medical malpractice attorneys want you to know that you are not alone. We’ll work with you to ensure that you receive adequate compensation, to cover your increased medical costs, and more.
Delayed Cancer Treatments
It’s a well-known fact that the earlier a doctor is able to diagnose cancer, the better the patient’s prognosis will be. If your cancer was allowed to continue to progress while your doctor put off the necessary tests, the treatments you will have to undergo to achieve remission or full health will be a lot more aggressive. This places an incredible amount of physical, mental, and financial stress on patients and their families.

Medical malpractice attorneys will work with a team of medical experts, to determine how your illness progressed while you awaited diagnosis, and what your consequences were, for your doctor’s failure to diagnose cancer.
