Failure to Diagnose Cancer

 

The law firm of Silberstein, Awad & Miklos has been serving the people of New York for over 30 years. As cancer malpractice lawyers, we have decades of combined experience representing those who have suffered injuries as a result of a health care professional's missed diagnosis of cancer.

 

Many people know someone who has battled cancer or have even suffered through the disease themselves. While the cause of cancer is not always known, physicians can often effectively diagnose and treat various types of cancer. However, on those occasions when cancer is misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all, a life-threatening situation can develop for the patient.

 

Our legal team at Silberstein, Awad & Miklos is made up of highly knowledgeable and experienced individuals dedicated to helping clients legally deal with the devastating repercussions of a failure to diagnose cancer. Some of the causes of a medical malpractice lawsuit based on a failure to diagnose or missed diagnosis of cancer include:

 

• The results of a test that were not reported to the patient
• Failure to perform a test that would have diagnosed the cancer
• Symptoms and their causes such as rectal bleeding, changes in bowel or bladder habits, nagging cough or hoarseness, a lump in a breast or an abnormal pap smear were ignored or not followed up on sufficiently by the health care professional
• Symptoms were identified by a doctor but the patient was not referred to a specialist
• X-rays, mammograms or other tests were read incorrectly
• X-rays, mammograms or other tests were not properly administered

 

If your cancer went undiagnosed by a doctor or was misdiagnosed, it is important that you get in touch with our cancer malpractice lawyers as soon as possible to discuss the possibilities for a lawsuit. New York has very strict limitations on the amount of time in which you may file a claim.

 

Failing to diagnose cancer can result in death or severe injury and is one of the leading causes of medical malpractice lawsuits. We can help you hold the negligent medical professional responsible for the failure to diagnose your cancer. If you or a loved one has been the victim of undiagnosed or misdiagnosed cancer, please contact our cancer malpractice lawyers today for more information and to schedule a complimentary consultation in New York and NYC including Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Long Island, and Queens.
