Hiring a cancer misdiagnosis lawyer can also increase your chance of maximizing your recovery to ensure you receive all the compensation you need and deserve under the law. Studies have shown that patients who work with an experienced lawyer can recover up tothree times more money for their medical malpractice case than patients working without a lawyer.
Don’t delay taking action. The insurance company is actively working against you. A cancer misdiagnosis lawyer can prevent you from making mistakes that threaten your claim. What your lawyer says can’t be held against you. What you say directly to the insurance company, however, can be. It’s best to allow your attorney to speak with the medical providers’ insurance company on your behalf. It’s important to remember that insurance companies are not your friend – regardless of how nice they try to sound on the phone.

Helping Clients After a Late or Delayed Cancer Diagnosis Causes Injury
Cancer has become so widespread in the United States, that even those who have not had cancer likely know someone who has. Most Maryland residents know, therefore, that the stage at which your cancer is detected can make a world of difference and earlier diagnosis makes the chance of recovery much higher.
Unfortunately, cancer misdiagnosis can occur due to medical negligence. This failure to diagnose cancer can have horrible consequences: the cancer is left to progress, metastasize, and even become untreatable. Doctors, their offices, and hospitals who negligently misdiagnose patients can be held accountable for their malpractice, and the institutions that protect them can be held responsible for any attempted coverups.
If you or someone you love has been harmed by cancer misdiagnosis, you may be able to sue for compensation. At Alpert Schreyer Injury Accident Lawyers, we fight for cancer patients and their loved ones. We fully understand how devastating late-stage cancer can be, which is why we do everything in our power to make sure our clients get answers. We will put our over 30 years of experience to work to maximize your compensation.

When Can You Sue for Cancer Misdiagnosis?
If the doctor, physician, or other health care professional negligently acted against medical standards, leading to injury, then you can sue them for compensation because their negligence caused you or your loved one significant, avoidable harm. Should these negligent actions result in patient death, that patient’s loved ones may file suit.
Under law, medical providers have a duty of care to their patients. Acting against medical standards is considered malpractice because it is a breach of this duty. This is because doctors and medical professionals are trained to know when they should order certain screenings, lab tests, radiology studies, or when they should refer a patient to a more qualified specialist.
How Does Cancer Misdiagnosis Happen?
Cancer misdiagnosis can happen for a number of reasons. That’s why it is important to remember that an unwanted outcome does not always mean a doctor committed malpractice. Sometimes, the worst-case scenario happens and no one is to blame. At Alpert Schreyer Injury Accident Lawyers, our attorneys are trained to review your case and medical records to identify if medical negligence caused your injuries and you have a right to sue. Our attorneys have extensive experience finding medical malpractice and developing legal strategies to help you maximize your recovery.
Common examples of medical negligence that may lead to cancer misdiagnosis include:
- Failing to identify and address symptoms of cancer
- Failing to order lab tests, X-rays, radiology images, or other necessary screenings to detect cancer
- Failing to refer a patient to a specialist, meaning a qualified medical provider who could run the correct tests, provide a second opinion, and give an accurate diagnosis
- Failing to inform a patient of their treatment options, side effects, and potential complications
If you’re unsure whether you, or someone you know, have been a victim of medical malpractice, contact Alpert Schreyer Injury Accident Lawyers, where we help those harmed find clarity about their circumstances and get the compensation they deserve.
