California Failure to Diagnose Cancer Attorney
When You Find Out the Truth Too Late
Failure to diagnose cancer of any kind deprives the patient of the opportunity to catch the condition in its earliest stages, when treatment is most effective and more options are available.
If failure to diagnose cancer caused you to suffer serious consequences or led to the wrongful death of a loved one, please contact Sacramento attorney Noël M. Ferris. She represents clients in cases involving failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis of many types of cancer, including:
- Breast cancer
- Colon cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Lung cancer
- Skin cancer
Failure to diagnose any type of cancer can negatively affect your chance of recovery.
The expected outcome is almost always better when cancer is diagnosed promptly. A timely diagnosis may help you avoid the pain and suffering involved in chemotherapy and radiation treatments. It can allow you the option of less extensive or disfiguring surgery.
Limiting Your Options
Failure to diagnose breast cancer, for example, may mean a lumpectomy, a less disfiguring surgery, is no longer an option.
Failure to diagnose cancer can be caused by failing to order the correct tests, failing to read and respond to test results, failing to refer a client to the proper specialist and failing to respond appropriately to the patient's symptoms.
If you or a member of your family were harmed by a physician's failure to diagnose cancer, you should speak to an attorney about your legal options.
