Consequences of failing to diagnose breast cancer

A patient鈥檚 life often depends on how early the diagnosis of breast cancer is made.聽 A failure to diagnose breast cancer in a timely manner can have devastating effects, including a diminished quality of life, the participation of more invasive procedures and even death. The victim and their family may have to adapt to a new way of living, including a life with overwhelming medical bills, a busy schedule of procedures, and the lost wages of someone the family depends on. Numerous medical professionals may be needed to assist in the victim鈥檚 recovery and a possible struggle with permanent disability, chronic pain and suffering. In cases where the victim dies, the family is left with the loss of a loved one as well as the loss of financial support, medical expenses, loss of inheritance, funeral expenses and if children are involved, the loss of nurture and guidance from their deceased parent. A competent medical malpractice lawyer can help you fight for your rights to obtain financial compensation.
