Failure to Diagnose Cancer

Failure to Diagnose Cancer

In today's society, cancer has become more and more of a commonplace disease. Although the cause of cancer is not always known, the medical community is often able to effectively diagnose and treat various types of cancer. However, cancer is often misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all, causing a life threatening situation for the patient.

Our legal team at the Bartlett Law Offices, P.C. is made up of highly knowledgeable individuals dedicated to helping clients legally deal with the repercussions of a failure to diagnose cancer. Some of the events that may be considered medical malpractice and severely affect the diagnosis of cancer are:

• The results of a test were not reported
• A test that would have diagnosed the cancer was not done
• Symptoms and their causes such as rectal bleeding, a lump in a breast, or an abnormal pap smear were ignored
• Symptoms were identified by a doctor but you were not referred to a specialist
• X-rays and mammograms read incorrectly

If your cancer went undiagnosed by a doctor or was misdiagnosed, it is important that you get in touch with us as soon as possible to discuss the possibilities for a lawsuit. Connecticut has very strict limitations on the amount of time in which you may file a claim.
