Suffolk County Delayed Diagnosis of Cancer Lawyers

Staten Island Medical Malpractice Attorneys

The early detection of cancer can mean the difference between life and death for many patients. Even in cases where a delayed diagnosis does not have fatal consequences, patients may experience debilitating side effects that could impact the rest of their lives. Depending on the type of cancer and its progression, a delayed diagnosis of even a short period of time can be extremely significant.

Failure to diagnose cancer is a leading cause of medical malpractice claims, with a failure to diagnose breast cancer as the leading basis for delayed diagnosis claims. All too often, a failure to diagnose cancer is the result of medical negligence, including a failure to order appropriate tests or a failure to properly analyze the results from tests that have been ordered. In some cases, negligence occurs when a doctor fails to follow up with a patient who is potentially at risk for cancer due to various risk factors. Examples of cancer-delayed diagnosis claims include:

  • Failure to diagnose breast cancer
  • Failure to diagnose prostate cancer
  • Failure to diagnose ovarian cancer
  • Failure to diagnose colon cancer
  • Failure to diagnose cervical cancer
  • Failure to diagnose skin cancer

Client Testimonials

  • "Frankie can complete his education, I can give the girls a start in life and I can live my life with dignity and comfort. We are grateful for all those things, but most of all, for your kindness and caring."
  • "Just wanted to thank you for all you've done and continue to do. I learned a lot watching you perform at trial. I feel satisfied and vindicated."
  • "When nobody believed me, you did. When the other lawyer told my parents to settle, you supported me and convinced them to fight. When we won, I cried. I will never forget you."
  • "Everyone told me it was hopeless. You told me the only thing you could promise me was that I would get my day in Court. You kept your promise. God bless you for what you did for our family."
  • "I don't know what I would have done without you. You will always be in my prayers."
  • "I never saw anyone work as hard as you did for us. When the judge told us he hoped we appreciated what you did, I didn't say anything because I was choked up. I want you to know that we do. When people say that lawyers don't care, I tell them about you. Thank you for everything."
  • "When our daughter died we were devastated. Your kindness, understanding and support helped us through the most difficult time in our lives. For that we are eternally grateful."
