Lost Chance for a Better Outcome
Many cancers are treatable when detected in early stages. With aggressive treatment, many will survive the disease. Even for terminal cancer, a correct diagnosis might result in a treatment to extend life and ease the pain.
The Law Office of Robert Cherofsky has recovered medical malpractice damages in numerous cases of failure to diagnose cancer. I have helped cancer patients sue for their losses and represented family members in wrongful death lawsuits.
Contact me today if a delayed diagnosis or wrong diagnosis caused a loved one's current suffering or premature death or if a delayed diagnosis has impacted your life. I represent clients throughout the NYC metro area, including Westchester County, Orange County, Albany County, Dutchess County, Putnam County and Rockland County.
Failure to Diagnose Cancer
I have represented victims of breast cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, colon cancer, melanoma, cervical cancer, uterine cancer and other forms. Every type of cancer has its symptoms. My job is to trace the medical records and document the negligence:
- Failure to follow up on patient complaints
- Failure to recognize telltale signs and order additional tests
- Misreading of mammograms, X-rays, CT scans or MRIs
- Failure to consult with or refer patients to an oncologist
- Initial misdiagnosis (including any harmful treatments)
A Lost Opportunity
The lawsuit for failure to diagnose cancer covers medical treatment and hospice care, pain and suffering, and lost earnings if applicable. We also seek damages for depriving the person of a substantial chance for a better outcome, if early detection could have removed the tumor or stopped its spread.
Over my nearly 30 years in medical malpractice litigation, I have built a network of experts in specific areas of oncology and radiology who can help convince the insurance company or a jury that the failure to diagnose the cancer was negligence.
