Boston-Area Medical Malpractice Attorney Holding Healthcare Professionals Accountable for Failure to Diagnose Cancer

Cancer. It's a word no one wants to hear from a doctor. If you do have to fight cancer, it's essential to get a correct diagnosis right away so you have the most options for fighting it. Unfortunately, for many people, doctors, radiologists and pathologists misinterpret their test results, or don't perform the right tests in the first place.

Failure to diagnose cancer early — while you have the best chance of treating it — is a tragedy. When your doctor's carelessness is the reason, it's unforgivable. A prognosis that might have once been fairly good is now grim due to an act of medical malpractice.

If you have fallen victim to a healthcare professional's failure to diagnose cancer and it has limited your treated options, you may have the right to pursue a medical malpractice claim. If you have lost a loved one due to medical negligence, you may also have legal options.

For more than 20 years, I have been providing compassionate legal counsel and aggressive advocacy to those suffering from a healthcare worker's failure to diagnose cancer. I am an aggressive trial lawyer with a track record of success getting big settlements and jury awards in medical malpractice and wrongful death cases.

Although nothing can change the tragic events you've faced, pursuing a lawsuit based on a misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose cancer may help to bring some sense of justice.

Discovering the Source of the Error

Over the course of my practice, I have seen far too many of these sad cases come through my door. Medical professionals must be held accountable for their careless actions.

Failure to diagnose cancer can occur in a variety of ways. A doctor may misdiagnose a condition. A radiologist could miss a tumor during a screening or mammogram. A pathologist may make a mistake on test results. A health care professional may simply fail to respond to a patient's complaints.

I have the experience and resources necessary to effectively investigate cases involving failure to diagnose cancer. In many circumstances, I am able to uncover evidence that proves a life-threatening case of cancer could have been detected and potentially defeated if caught in time.
