Pittsburgh Failure to Diagnose Breast Cancer Attorney
Failure to Diagnose Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is one of the most pressing health concerns for women of any age. According to the American Cancer Society, early detection and treatment of breast cancer can significantly increase the chances of a full recovery. If your doctor failed to correctly diagnose or treat your breast cancer, you may be the victim of medical malpractice.
At the Pittsburgh law firm of Ronald J. Bua & Associates, we represent clients who have unjustifiably suffered the devastating effects of breast cancer due to a misdiagnosis of their illness. Our attorneys have the experience, skill and resources needed to effectively handle these complex cases.
If you or a loved one is suffering because a doctor failed to diagnose breast cancer, contact an attorney immediately. Our medical malpractice firm will begin taking the necessary steps to build a strong and persuasive case.
Causes of Medical Malpractice
Simply missing a diagnosis or misinterpreting symptoms does not automatically lead to a valid medical malpractice claim. However, if the doctor failed to follow medical practices or procedures that another physician with the same experience and/or training would have followed, then you may have a claim for medical malpractice.
Medical mistakes that can lead to the failure to diagnose breast cancer include:
- A doctor believes a woman is too young to have breast cancer
- A doctor fails to order a mammogram or other tests when a woman has a lump or demonstrates other signs
- A doctor fails to order additional tests if the mammogram is abnormal
Our medical negligence lawyers will thoroughly review your case and examine the evidence to determine if filing a lawsuit is in your best interests. If it is, we will interview medical experts, gather medical reports, and obtain all information needed to build a strong case on your behalf.
