New York Failure to Diagnose Cancer Lawyer

New York Medical Malpractice Attorney

Misdiagnosis and Medical Malpractice in New York City

When you visit your doctor, you go with the understanding that he or she will be reasonably able to correctly diagnose your symptoms and provide a course of treatment. With a condition such as cancer, early detection is often an invaluable part of the treatment process and a failure to diagnose can limit treatment options or the efficacy of those options.

When a doctor misses obvious signs of cancer and you suffer as a result, you need answers and accountability from those who failed to do their jobs. At The Perecman Law Firm, we have seen many cases where a patient's cancer was missed because a doctor did not pay close enough attention to the symptoms, did not have the necessary experience or mistook the cancer for another condition.

Cancer Misdiagnosis and Your Rights Under the Law

Doctors have a legal responsibility to follow established standards of care when treating and diagnosing patients. When they fail to meet this responsibility, it can put people at risk of greater injury. Our attorneys have represented people who have suffered harm due to the failure to diagnose or delayed diagnosis of cancer, including:

  • Breast cancer
  • Cervical cancer
  • Lung cancer and mesothelioma
  • Prostate cancer
  • Melanoma and skin cancer
  • Other types of cancer and serious conditions

Our lawyers believe in taking medical malpractice cases that are meritorious. To that end, our firm works with medical experts to thoroughly review every case and determine whether pursuing a claim is in the best interests of our clients. When it is, you can trust that our firm will use our resources and experience to work towards the best outcome available.

We also represent the families of patients in wrongful death lawsuits and work to obtain the compensation that they need to move on with their lives.
