Today’s medical advances mean that certain types of cancer that were once untreatable can now be successfully treated, if detected in a timely manner. The role of early diagnosis in a patient’s improvement, recovery and survival cannot be denied.

As such, when a doctor fails to diagnose cancer in a patient who places his or her trust in health care professionals — a wrong has taken place that must be made right. An experienced medical malpractice attorney can protect your rights and seek compensation for you, in a court of law if necessary.

At The Mercaldo Law Firm, we help people who have suffered due to failure to diagnose cancer and other types of medical malpractice.

The Mercaldo Law Firm · Reputation for Results in Medical Negligence Cases

Modern medicine and our health care system make it possible to treat many different kinds of cancer: breast, lung, skin and prostate, just to name a few. Even in more difficult cases, early detection and timely treatment can prolong a patient’s life.

Some doctors, however, fail to meet the standard of care and treatment that all patients are entitled to. Failing to pursue appropriate testing or recognize the early signs and symptoms of cancer are two early missteps that can have serious consequences. Additionally, X-rays and lab results may be misread or misinterpreted. Confusion in communication can occur between physicians, other medical professionals and various hospital departments.

Then there is the matter of administering appropriate treatment, once cancer is diagnosed. If chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are not executed in time, cancer can spread and a patient can become terminal.

The Mercaldo Law Firm provides you with skilled, compassionate representation if you have suffered due to the failure to diagnose cancer. We offer the same aggressive advocacy to Arizona and San Diego families who are coping with a wrongful death tragedy caused by the misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose or delayed diagnosis of cancer. 

The Mercaldo Law Firm is known for intense case preparation and in-depth investigation of physician and hospital practices. We work with experts in oncology and related fields to build successful cases for medical malpractice clients. Our overriding goal is to assist you in obtaining just and fair financial compensation for all losses you have suffered.
