How a Delayed Cancer Diagnosis Affects Your Case
The timely diagnosis of cancer often makes it possible to remove the malignant growth through relatively minor surgery. When the diagnosis is delayed, more significant measures may be needed, including removal of major growth through surgery, chemotherapy, and other treatments. In cases involving aggressive cancers, the delay in diagnosis all too often results in wrongful death.
Our cancer misdiagnosis lawyers consult with qualified oncology professionals and other medical authorities who help us prepare these complex cases. We will work to assess the full extent of damages you and your family have suffered and pursue maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional hardship. Common forms of cancer affected by misdiagnosis include:
- Prostate cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Breast cancer
- Lung cancer
A delayed diagnosis can mean the difference between early-stage treatment and a fight for survival. If a healthcare provider failed to order appropriate tests, misread imaging results, or ignored symptoms, you may have grounds for a cancer misdiagnosis claim. Our Bergen County personal injury attorneys can evaluate your situation and explain your legal options.
