Effective Representation for Complicated Legal Matters
It is important to note that potential legal claims related to the failure to diagnose cancer can be extremely complicated. Even with early diagnosis, it is very difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of cancer. Each case varies from one person to the next.
Accordingly, establishing that a change in the diagnosis may have resulted in a change in the outcome requires a very careful legal analysis, coupled with persuasive arguments. Our attorneys have the skill and experience needed to effectively handle even the most challenging cases.
We represent clients in medical malpractice/failure to diagnose claims pertaining to all types of cancer, including:
- Breast cancer
- Lung cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Ovarian cancer
- Brain cancer
Addressing The Financial Consequences of The Failure to Diagnose Cancer
In addition to affecting your potential prognosis and the likelihood of recovery, the failure to diagnose cancer early can also have important financial ramifications. Delayed treatment may necessitate more extensive treatments, which will likely result in larger medical bills. In addition, a person with cancer will often be unable to work throughout treatment - longer treatment time will increase the time away from work and result in less income.
At Tooher Wocl & Leydon LLC, we protect the rights and interests of people who are injured as a result of doctor error. If your doctor failed to diagnose cancer, or provided a misdiagnosis resulting in ineffective treatments, we can help you understand your potential legal remedies.
