Recover Damages From Cancer Misdiagnosis
Cancer, as is the case with most illnesses, is better treated the earlier it is discovered. More favorable results are typically possible with timely intervention, while the delay of that intervention can result in greater devastation to the patient. When doctors fail to detect or diagnose cancer symptoms in patients, they put their patients at greater risk and should be held accountable for their errors.
At the law firm of Hill & Associates, P.C., in Philadelphia, our attorneys have more than 20 years of experience representing clients in personal injury and medical malpractice lawsuits. We understand what can happen when patients do not receive adequate medical care and when doctors fail to timely diagnose cancer and other illnesses. We work hard to pursue compensation for the losses our clients have suffered as a result.

Delayed Diagnosis of Cancer
While there are certainly many situations where symptoms of cancer, signs of brain tumors and other illnesses are not present, there are a number of others where cancer should have been detected but was missed. This misdiagnosis can be due to lack of proper training, ignoring symptoms or failing to order appropriate tests when necessary.
Sometimes, even a month or two of delayed diagnosis can be the difference between stopping cancer early and having the cancer spread to other areas of the body.
Our firm has seen cases involving the misdiagnosis of breast, prostate, skin, cervical and many other forms of cancer, as well as other illnesses and injuries. Delayed diagnosis costs patients substantially more in treatment costs and can change the prognosis from full recovery to one that is less optimistic.
