Pittsburgh Failure to Diagnose Malignant Melanoma Attorneys

The failure to diagnose skin cancer or misdiagnosis of melanoma can have devastating consequences. If your dermatologist or doctor neglected to biopsy a mole and send it for an analysis, treatable melanoma can spread and become life threatening. If you have suffered needlessly or face advance stages of melanoma because of a failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis you want an experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate attorney to protect your rights.

At Ronald J. Bua & Associates, we have handled cases that typically start with a person finding a mole on their body and report it to their doctor or physician's assistant in the office. Usually, reasons for the delay in the diagnosis include:

• Freezing off the mole without a biopsy
• Watching a suspicious mole or telling the patient it is nothing to worry about
• Not sending the patient to a dermatologist
• Doing an inadequate biopsy of the mole
• Mistakes by the pathologist in diagnosing the kind of cell

We will aggressively protect your rights having you seek full and fair compensation for your medical bills, loss of income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. We will also represent the families that experience a wrongful death of a loved one to cancer for the failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis of skin cancer, including melanoma.
