Cancer Misdiagnosis
Nationwide Representation in Medical Malpractice Claims
Finding out that you or someone you love has cancer is both tragic and terrifying. It is even worse when you discover that the cancer should have been diagnosed at an earlier date and would have therefore had a better chance at being cured. Cancer is a particularly harmful medical condition because it worsens over time and can advance rapidly if untreated. Although there is no universal cure for cancer and in some cases even the best and earliest treatment will only delay the inevitable, there is still much that surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and other therapies can do to help a patient live a longer, healthier life. As such, a doctor’s failure to diagnose cancer may be grounds for a medical malpractice claim.
Talk to a lawyer about your situation as soon as possible if you believe that a doctor or other medical professional was the reason for the late diagnosis of you or a loved one’s condition. At the Law Offices of Dr. Bruce G. Fagel & Associates, we are thoroughly committed to representing victims and families of victims who have suffered from a delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis relating to any form of cancer. In some cases, diagnosing cancer early on may lead to successful treatment that can put it into remission, or a successful surgery to remove the cancerous growth or cells.
Some cancer misdiagnoses and failure to diagnose claims may be traced to an insurance company not allowing for additional testing. In these cases, a medical malpractice attorney can conduct a thorough evaluation to determine exactly what parties are liable and can then pursue the highest amount of compensation allowable under your state’s malpractice laws.
