A Missed Diagnosis by a Doctor Can Be Devastating
A failure to diagnose serious illness can result in critical time lost that could have been spent fighting the problem rather than allowing it to take hold and grow stronger. Particularly in cases involving an aggressive cancer, a few weeks or months lost to a missed diagnosis can be the difference between life and death.
At the law office of Roy S. Hiller, our attorney is a 30 year veteran of the legal system with a career built on the foundation of helping families who have suffered needlessly due to doctor negligence and medical malpractice. These are complex cases that demand the attention of a New York City medical malpractice lawyer with the resources, tools and knowledge to be effective.
Experience Medical Malpractice Injury Representation
When a doctor, a lab or a radiology technician misses critical information that may impact your health or the health of a loved one, it can be hard to get answers, results and compensation to pay for the serious damage that the mistake caused. The reality is, however, that a missed diagnosis can steal away time that could and should have been used to fight a serious illness.
At our New York City law office, we take on a wide range of serious and large-sum medical malpractice claims, and we have the experience to handle misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis cases, including those involving:
- Lung cancer
- Prostrate cancer
- Breast cancer
- Melanoma
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
Lost time is a lost opportunity to fight and a lost chance to address a serious illness before it becomes even more difficult to deal with. The result may be a longer and harder fight, ever growing medical costs and time lost that would have been better spent living a potentially healthy life. While we can never know for sure that an earlier diagnosis would have led to the best possible outcome, we do know that misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose and delayed diagnosis only hurts a patients chances.
