Failure to Diagnose Cancer NY
Free Case EvaluationYOU’RE NOT ALONE, WE CAN HELP Get free consultation
Should your cancer have been diagnosed sooner? If so, you’re not alone. The only thing worse than learning you have cancer is learning it should have been diagnosed sooner.
Early detection of cancer is critical. The sooner cancer is diagnosed, the higher the likelihood it will respond favorably to treatment, and even be cured. When a cancer diagnosis is delayed, the cancer will often spread, and be untreatable by the time of diagnosis.
Our team of experienced trial lawyers enjoy a distinguished track record of obtaining top-level verdicts and settlements for our clients who have fallen victim to a doctor’s failure to make a timely cancer diagnosis. Our legal team works with some of the country’s preeminent medical experts to investigate and build your case to ensure optimal recoveries.
There are many types of cancer that can be detected through routine medical “screening” or testing. Too often, medical providers fail to follow well-established national medical protocols, and fail to order simple tests that would lead to an early diagnosis, when our client’s cancer would have been curable. Doctors also often misread test results or fail to advise our clients that their test results were abnormal—leading to lengthy delays in making a diagnosis.
Too often, people are diagnosed with late-stage cancers that could and should have been detected in their early stages, but because their cancer wasn’t diagnosed earlier, they face the prospect of an early death, terrible physical and emotional pain and suffering, mounting medical expenses, all because a physician failed to recommend routine screening and testing, or misread a critical test.
