What to Know About Cancer Malpractice Cases
If you're considering filing a cancer misdiagnosis lawsuit, it's helpful to understand how the process works and what to expect. Take a look at some commonly asked questions to learn more about this type of case.
What Is Cancer Malpractice?
Cancer malpractice occurs when a doctor incorrectly diagnoses any type of cancer or when the patient receives the correct diagnosis after an unreasonably long time. Cancer misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis can have serious consequences, such as chronic pain, permanent impairment and even death.
How Do I Know If My Doctor Was Negligent?
No matter how incompetent your medical team may be, it's important to know that not every mistake constitutes negligence. To determine if you experienced a cancer misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, our legal team reviews these issues:
- Your doctor failed to listen to you, review your medical history or identify symptoms. For example, your doctor may have neglected to order a test to examine your symptoms or failed to process the test results correctly.
- Your doctor's actions led to injuries that had financial costs. For example, your doctor's negligence may have caused your cancer to spread, resulting in you having to take substantial time off work and ultimately losing your job.
How Much Compensation Could I Get?
The potential settlement amount varies significantly from case to case. Many cancer misdiagnosis survivors are eligible to receive compensation for related financial losses. These expenses include costs that you can easily document and measure, such as:
- Doctor and hospital bills related to your treatment, including existing and future bills
- Lost income due to taking time off from work and experiencing reduced earning potential
- Medications, medical devices and medical equipment for your cancer treatment
- Emergency transportation to your hospital or doctor's office
In many cases, settlements also cover non-economic damages. Because these expenses don't cover bills or other easily measurable amounts, settlements may differ. Examples of non-economic damages include:
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Pain, suffering and emotional distress
- Decreased quality of life
How a Cancer Malpractice Lawyer Can Help With Your Case
Like many medical malpractice cases, cancer misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis cases can be quite complex. To obtain a positive verdict, medical malpractice firms have to prove that your doctor, who had a duty of care to you, failed to treat you appropriately. Attorneys also have to demonstrate that you experienced injuries as a result of this failure and that those injuries led to losses or damages.
To pursue this type of case successfully, you need a skilled legal team of experienced cancer malpractice lawyers and expert witnesses. When you want to recover the compensation you deserve, it's important to entrust your case to a firm like Janet, Janet & Suggs.
