Doctors and all health care practitioners have a specific duty to their patients to act in accordance with accepted medical practices when diagnosing an illness or disease. When doctors or medical professionals fail to follow the standard of care in diagnosing an illness, particularly cancer, the patient loses valuable time for treatment and healing.

For some, a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis due to a doctor’s mistake could mean they missed their opportunity for effective treatment. In this situation, the health care professional may have committed medical malpractice when he or she misdiagnosed a disease or failed to diagnose an illness.

MISDIAGNOSIS OR DELAY IN DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER?

Cancer is a disease that can have a good to a decent chance of being put into remission or cured. However, this is only the case if you diagnose it in its early stages. In some situations, a patient has symptoms of the disease, but for whatever reason, the doctor fails to offer further testing or referrals for cancer diagnosis.

Failure to diagnose cancer malpractice often happens when young women show early symptoms of breast cancer or cervical cancer, as the doctor may mistakenly assume that a young person is unlikely to develop such diseases. This can also happen with young men and prostate cancer. However, misdiagnosis of cancer is an unfortunate reality for people of all ages with all different types of cancer.

That being said, failure to diagnose cancer lawsuits are, unfortunately, more common than you may think. Thats’s why the McArthur LAw Firm is here to help you get a failure to diagnose cancer settlement.

In September 2019, my mom and sister suffered a horrific accident with a tractor trailer taking the life of my sister. Overwhelmed with shock and grief, my family and I didn’t know where to start with recovery. A relative researched and referred McArthur Law Firm after finding credible reviews for their trustworthy professionalism. I can’t speak enough of selecting Attorney Jessica Edmonds.
