Failure to Diagnose Cancer
A cancer diagnosis is no longer an automatic death sentence. Caught early, many forms of cancer are treatable. As the disease progresses, however, it becomes more and more difficult to treat. The chance of pain, disfigurement and even death increase.

Protecting Your Rights
Sometimes, there is no way cancer could have been detected earlier. However, there are many instances when a physician should have suspected the disease and either personally diagnosed it or referred the patient to a specialist.
Our firm handles cases involving serious injury or wrongful death resulting from
- Bone cancer
- Skin cancer
- Breast cancer
- Colon cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Lung cancer
- Other cancer
Doctors are expected to act in accordance with the accepted standard of care. When they fail to do so, such as when they fail to properly diagnose cancer, they must be held accountable. You have every right to expect a high standard of health care. When a doctor betrays your trust and is negligent, you are entitled to take legal action to protect your rights.
As your attorneys, we will launch a thorough investigation into your case. Consulting with experts, we will carefully examine the opportunities that your treating or consulting doctor had to spot the first signs of a malignancy.
Take Action Today
With early diagnosis, many forms of cancer are treatable. If months or even years pass without medical intervention, cancer cells can spread to other parts of your body, resulting in terminal health conditions that may have been avoided with early detection.
