At Toberoff, Tessler & Schochet, we have successfully litigated on behalf of victims of medical malpractice in Manhattan and throughout New York for more than 40 years. Our failure to diagnose cancer attorneys understand that in these cases, our clients have suffered a gross breach of trust that could potentially endanger their lives, and this is why we pursue their claims with the utmost sensitivity and compassion.
The failure to diagnose cancer could be the result of many factors, including the failure to perform proper diagnostic tests, errors in interpreting the results of tests, errors made on the part of the laboratory technicians processing the tests, or simply misinterpreting the symptoms presented by the patient. In any case, the failure to diagnose a disease as serious and deadly as cancer can have dire consequences for the patient and his or her family.
The failure to diagnose cancer by a medical professional could delay potentially life-saving treatment. In the majority of cancer cases, the patient’s odds of beating cancer are directly related to the stage to which the disease has progressed, and thus the amount of time doctors have to treat the cancer. Indeed, it is quite possible for cancer to progress to the extent that it is no longer treatable, and in such tragic cases the patient must be given a terminal prognosis. In other cases, a delayed diagnosis leads to more invasive and aggressive treatments than would have been necessary had the disease been diagnosed earlier. If treatment has been delayed because of a failure to properly diagnose the patient’s cancer, the doctor and other medical professionals can and should be held liable. In New York at the Manhattan firm of Toberoff, Tessler & Schochet, our failure to diagnose cancer attorneys have the medical and legal knowledge necessary to ensure that victims receive both the justice and the compensation they deserve.
We understand that when a person has suffered as the result of a failure to diagnose an illness as serious as cancer, the last thing he or she wants to deal with is a legal battle. Obviously, there is no way to compensate for the loss of one’s health, or the loss or endangerment of the life of a person you love. However, the cost of treating cancer can be prohibitive, and many HMOs do not allow for trips to expensive and potentially life-saving specialists. If a mistake by your Manhattan or New York medical care provider led to a failure to diagnose cancer, our attorneys can help recover compensation for current and future medical bills, as well as such hardships as pain and suffering, loss of wages, and loss of support. We will review your (or your loved one's) case with the compassion you deserve, and we will pursue your claim tirelessly until you and your family have obtained justice.
If you are suffering because a doctor or other medical professional failed to correctly diagnose your cancer, it is crucial that you contact a qualified lawyer immediately. Furthermore, if you have lost a loved one as the result of a doctor’s failure to correctly diagnose and treat his or her cancer, you and your family may be eligible to receive compensation.
