Legal Help for Cancer Patients and Their Families
Advancements in cancer treatments have led to increased survival rates when cancer is diagnosed in the early stages. If the diagnosis is missed, however, this disease can quickly become fatal.

Early Diagnosis Is Critical
Some types of cancer grow very rapidly. A misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can result in tumor growth and the spread of cancerous cells to lymph nodes and other parts of the body. After the cancer has metastasized, the odds of successful treatment decrease.
Failing to diagnose cancer is most often the result of negligence or errors regarding medical testing. A doctor may fail to order necessary tests, misread test results or fail to follow up on test results. While the fault often lies with the physician, diagnostic technicians and lab technicians may also commit errors or negligence.
We represent patients and families with malpractice claims involving many types of cancer, including:
- Breast cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Melanoma (skin cancer)
- Colon cancer
- Lung cancer
-
Cervical cancer
Failing to Diagnose Cancer May Be Malpractice
Learning that cancer has already progressed to an inoperable or incurable stage is devastating. When this is the result of a doctor's negligence, it is natural to seek justice and compensation for your losses. To make an appointment, please call 704-706-9308 or 866-943-7966 today.
