Failure to Diagnose Cancer

Many forms of cancer are extremely treatable and we have been told thousands of times that "early detection is the key" to catching cancer while treatment remains likely to spare the patient a prolonged and energy-sapping battle. Too often, however, doctors commit medical malpractice by failing to recognize signs that cancer is present and needs to be treated.

To be clear, you do not have a medical malpractice lawsuit just because someone has fought with cancer. But when warning signs are present and a doctor negligently fails to diagnose cancer, the law gives that person certain rights. They are entitled to compensation for what they have to suffer through as a result of the medical malpractice.

Common examples of medical malpractice relating to failure to diagnose cancer include:

  • Failing to perform simple and routine tests, such as a prostate exam, during a scheduled appointment;
  • Failing to properly document the results of a test, such as failing to document changes indicative of breast cancer following a mammogram;
  • Ordering a test for something that could be cancerous, but failing to send the sample to the lab, or failing to follow up with the lab to make sure the test results are sent back.

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.
