Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is an increasingly common problem that affects hundreds of thousands of women and their families each year. In 2004, for example, over 186,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Of these, 40,954 women died from breast cancer.

More than one in ten women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their lives. Yet despite the great familiarity doctors must have with the increasingly common disease, misdiagnosis or mistreatment of breast cancer is the cause of more medical malpractice claims than any other disease.

Breast cancer responds well to early detection and early treatment. Unfortunately, too often doctors and other medical professionals fail to order tests, misdiagnose, and fail to treat breast cancer. Such errors can give rise to successful medical malpractice claims. Common errors include:

  • Failure to identify an obvious lump during a breast exam
  • Failure to perform a breast exam while treating a patient for other reasons
  • Failure to arrange a mammogram, x-ray, CT scan, MRI, etc
  • Failure to classify a tumor as malignant
  • Failure to evaluate properly test results when tests are performed
  • Failure to notify patient of test results
  • Failure to order future tests
  • Failure to recognize common symptoms

Testimonials

The insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Mr. Buckfire filed a lawsuit against them and made them pay every penny that they owed... Every time I see my doctor, I thank her again for the referral to Buckfire & Buckfire.

Because of his efforts, we proved that the other driver was at fault and the driver's insurance company paid a significant settlement for our injury claims... Hiring his firm to represent my son and myself was the best decision I could have possibly made. Many thanks for the great work.

My husband died when a truck left the roadway and struck him. He was off the shoulder of the roadway helping another motorist pull his car out of a snow bank The work that they did helped me settle my Michigan wrongful death case for $1,600,000.00. Their knowledge of law was second to none and they hired the best experts to prove my case.
