Cleveland Cancer Misdiagnosis Lawyer
Ohio Treatment of Cancer Attorney
Was Your Cancer Misdiagnosed?
The American Cancer Society estimates that 562,340 Americans died of cancer in 2009. A small portion of those deaths were due to medical malpractice. Doctors' negligence and procedural errors can lead to misdiagnosis. Undetected, a cancer that could have been treated effectively can grow into a terminal case.
The attorneys of Mishkind Law Firm Co., L.P.A., in Cleveland, have the legal and medical knowledge to determine whether medical negligence was involved in your case. With more than 80 years of combined experience and on-staff medical professionals, we have the knowledge and resources required to analyze and pursue challenging cases involving the misdiagnosis and mistreatment of cancer.
Malpractice in Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
Our lawyers have achieved successful outcomes for clients in cases involving the misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis and mistreatment of breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer and many other types of cancer. Cases may involve:
- Failure to do proper cancer screening
- Misinterpretation of test results
- Failure to read and respond appropriately to test results
- Failure to treat the cancer aggressively
Doctors and hospitals will often claim that there was nothing they could have done — even if they had detected the cancer earlier. That assumption does not sit well with our clients or with us. We don't expect doctors to perform miracles, but we do expect them to treat patients according to accepted standards of care.
Even in cases in which a person's own choices, such as smoking, caused or contributed to the cancer, doctors cannot write the patient off as a lost cause. They are obligated to provide appropriate treatment or refer you to someone who can provide it.
