Cancer Misdiagnosis

Cleveland, Ohio, Attorney: Failure to Diagnose Cancer and Misdiagnosis

Many cancers today are treatable with early diagnosis and treatment. But when a doctor fails to diagnose cancer or is negligent in identifying early signs of cancer, a patient's chances for survival may be adversely affected. If you or someone you love has suffered as a result of a failure to diagnose cancer, which was treatable, our attorneys at Linton & Hirshman will aggressively assert your rights to recover against those who provided substandard care.

Failure to timely diagnose cancer or the misdiagnosis of cancer can leave a patient untreated and significantly reduce chances of survival. If you or someone you love has suffered as a result of negligent medical care, let us assert your rights. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Many patients come to their doctors with early warning signs of cancer, including breast lumps or other symptoms. If you visited your doctor and were not given a bi-annual pelvic exam, mammogram, colonoscopy or other proper test for cancer, our attorneys can help. We will immediately initiate a full investigation into your case to identify every responsible party and preserve all necessary evidence for your case. We have the medical experience and resources to successfully pursue your claim.

Another health issue which confronts women in today’s society is that of cervical cancer. Fortunately, a new vaccine has come onto the market. This vaccine, Gardasil, is available to young women to protect them from contracting the human papillomavirus (HPV). It is suggested that at 9-26 years of age, girls receive this 3 part vaccination to protect them once they do become sexually active. Certain forms of HPV may lead to cervical cancer or genital warts. Empower yourself with more information about this vaccine and protect our daughters from the horrors of cervical cancer.
